The right choice depends less on company size than on the kind of value you want to create with Crisp. --- # Partnership programs at a glance Both programs are designed to help partners grow with Crisp, but they do not serve the same type of relationship. #### Marketing Program The Marketing Program is meant for partners who introduce Crisp to an audience, clients, or community. That can include agencies, consultants, freelancers, review websites, content creators, incubators, and other businesses that actively recommend tools to customers. __What you get:__ * ****20% discount code with a free trial or 20% cashback with an affiliate link**** → choose the model that best fits how you promote Crisp * ****A referent contact at Crisp**** → useful when you need a clear point of contact * ****Slack community access**** → stay connected with other marketing partners * ****Training and webinars**** → enable your own team and your customers more effectively * ****Partner content**** → sales material, videos, and other useful assets * ****Partnership newsletter**** → keep up with updates and opportunities #### Technology Program The Technology Program is meant for companies building a technical relationship with Crisp, such as SaaS companies, app vendors, integration partners, or developers working on a marketplace or product integration. This is the better fit when the value comes from connecting your product to Crisp rather than mainly promoting it to an audience. __What you get:__ * ****20% discount code for your customers**** → applies to the ****Essentials**** or ****Plus**** plans * ****Free trial period for your customers**** → useful when launching the partnership * ****A referent contact at Crisp**** → helpful while building or rolling out the integration * ****Launch webinar support**** → useful when announcing the partnership publicly * ****Slack community access**** → stay connected with the broader technology partner ecosystem * ****Partner content and API access**** → useful for launch, onboarding, and integration work * ****Marketplace visibility**** → important when your goal is discovery as well as product value --- # How to get started The best first step is to review the public partnership page and decide which program matches the value you want to create. Not every company is eligible, so applications are reviewed before approval. __A simple way to approach it:__ * ****Read the partnership page**** → start with [Crisp Partnerships](https://crisp.chat/en/partnerships/) to review the current positioning and benefits * ****Choose the right track**** → marketing if you mainly recommend Crisp, technology if you are building around the product * ****Prepare your use case**** → be clear on your audience, promotion plan, integration idea, or rollout strategy * ****Apply or get in touch**** → start from the partnership page, use Crisp chat, or contact the team at [**contact@crisp.chat**](mailto:contact@crisp.chat) --- # What helps an application stand out Applications are easier to evaluate when the intended partnership is concrete and clearly useful. __The strongest applications usually show:__ * ****A clear audience fit**** → who you reach, advise, or support, and why Crisp is relevant to them * ****A realistic promotion or integration plan**** → what you actually intend to publish, build, or launch * ****Proof of execution**** → examples of past content, client work, marketplace work, or existing technical experience * ****A long-term angle**** → how Crisp fits into an ongoing service, community, or product strategy rather than a one-off mention --- # Important notes | ****Not every company is eligible**** → each application is reviewed before approval. ||| ****Conditions**** → discounts or cashback apply for 1 year once a new customer subscribes to ****Essentials**** or ****Plus****, and Crisp expects a public article, launch content, or equivalent promotion presenting the software and the partnership.
