eZ Publish Partner Program: Requirements
Grow with us at ezpublish.one
At eZ Publish, we recognize and reward the commitment of our partners through a flexible, transparent points-based system. Whether you’re just starting or already contributing to the ecosystem, there are clear pathways to partnership.
Two Ways to Become a Partner
1. Pay a Program Fee
- A monthly subscription fee of $45 USD grants you initial access to the partner program.
- To maintain active status, partners who do not reach the Professional level annually must pay this fee again each year.
2. Earn 5,000 Points
- Partners who generate 5,000 points annually through activity or revenue qualify for Basic status automatically, with no fee required.
Understanding the Points System
Our points system reflects both revenue contributions and community engagement.
1 Point ≈ 1 USD in revenue or 1 minute of value-added activity.
Some strategic activities may receive bonus points due to their higher impact on the ecosystem.
