Who it is for
Built for people who help others run better books.
The program is open, but it is designed around trusted professionals who create education, implementation, and retention — not anonymous coupon traffic. No sales quota, certification, or partner tier is required at launch.
Advisors & consultants
Use Bkper as a platform primitive for reporting, automation, AI workflows, and operational finance projects.
Community builders
Introduce other professionals to Bkper and earn a capped mentor bonus when they help their own customers adopt it.
How it works
The short version.
- 01
Refer someone
Referral tracking can happen through a partner link, sharing a Book you own, or future product flows. Tracking fills an empty referrer only.
- 02
They pay Bkper
When a referred customer pays for a Bkper subscription, commission is tracked on the subscription portion of that payment.
- 03
Commission clears
Commission starts pending and becomes payable after a 30-day clearing period, as long as the payment is not refunded, credited, charged back, or invalid.
- 04
Payout unlocks
To get paid, complete Partner Ready, accept the terms, add valid payout details, and reach the payout threshold.
5-year simulator
Estimate your annualized partner commission.
Start with this example, then edit any number to model your own partner path. Yearly counts represent active subscriptions by the end of each year.
Client subscriptions use current listed Standard or Business prices. Edit the partner price only when modeling Professional/custom subscription terms, and enter only the Bkper subscription portion.

How this is calculated
- Clients referred by partners = clients you refer × partners you refer.
- Direct client commission = clients you refer × client plan × 20%.
- Partner subscription commission = partners you refer × partner plan × 20%.
- Mentor bonus = clients referred by partners × client plan × 5%.
- Annualized commission = estimated monthly commission × 12.
Estimates are illustrative. Commissions recur while subscriptions remain active and eligible under the terms; payouts depend on clearing, threshold, payout details, Partner Ready status, and other program requirements.
Partner services
Your services stay yours.
Commission is the recurring layer on top of the work you already bill. Price and collect your own setup, cleanup, training, reporting, automation, or advisory fees directly from clients. Bkper partner commission adds recurring revenue when those clients stay subscribed.
Partner Ready
Use Bkper before presenting yourself as a Bkper Partner.
Referral tracking works before Partner Ready. Payouts and official partner status unlock after Bkper can see that you are onboarded and have shared an owned Book.
Readiness checklist
- 45 days since Bkper signup
- 180 posted transactions in Bkper
- Shared one Book that you own
Earnings can be tracked before readiness is complete. They stay locked until payout requirements are met.
Trust rules
Clear attribution. Customer control. No hidden price change.
One current partner-of-record
Automatic attribution only fills an empty referrer. It does not silently replace an existing partner relationship.
The customer can change it
A referred customer can see, change, or remove their partner-of-record. Changes apply prospectively.
Compensation is disclosed
Customers should know that Bkper may compensate the partner who introduced them. Their subscription price does not change.
