Build it for them. Earn on it for years.
A partner program for developers, agencies and freelancers who build sites for studios, schools and service businesses.
Install account42 for a client and have them enter your partner code at checkout, or arrive through your link. You earn a share of every payment they make, monthly, annual and upgrades, for the life of the account.
Why developers put their name on it.
Your client’s money never touches us.
Payments are direct charges on the client’s own Stripe or PayPal account; you never handle card data or PCI scope.
Under the hood
Connected-account direct charges; account42 is not in the flow of funds.
Isolation you can prove.
Every merchant’s data is fenced at the database, not just in code.
Under the hood
A non-bypassing database role, row-level policies on every table, and 96 automated cross-tenant tests that must pass before any release.
One core, every platform.
Move a client from WordPress to Shopify and nothing rebuilds.
Under the hood
The plugins are thin clients of one shared API; behavior is identical because the code is the same code.
It can’t oversell.
You will not get the 2 a.m. call about the double-booked seat.
Under the hood
Every hold and booking is a single transaction; proven under 1,500 concurrent requests.
Safe to retry.
A flaky network never creates a second booking.
Under the hood
Idempotency keys on every write, with a derived fallback for callers that send none.
An API and keys from day one.
Build on it, automate it, or hand a client the assistant and walk away.
Under the hood
Per-merchant keys, hashed at rest, revocable, usage-tracked.

How it works
- You install account42 for a client, or send them with your partner code or link.
- You earn a recurring share of everything that client pays, monthly, annual and upgrades, for as long as they stay.
- Your rate rises as your active client count grows, and applies to every client you have.
- Commission on a payment becomes payable once that payment’s refund window has closed; balances are paid monthly.
- No cap, no minimum, 90-day link attribution, and codes always attribute.
- Partners anywhere in the world are welcome.
- Elite partners can opt into the Setup Network. We assign you paid setup jobs from merchants who bought done-for-you setup, packaged to them as setup by a member of our developer partner network. You execute a fixed 30-minute checklist from a completed intake, same business day, and the merchant becomes an introduction you earned.
The full commission schedule is shared with approved partners.

Tell us what you build and who you build it for. There is no application window and no minimum client count to start.
Applications are reviewed and partners are verified as developers, agencies or freelancers before the program opens to them.
Under the hood
Attribution is recorded against the client account at signup, so a payment two years later still resolves to the partner who installed it.
