Partner certification

The checklist

Read the eight lessons of the partner training.
Build a business of your own from one sentence. Building and previewing are free.
Run one business for a week on your own account: approve a piece of work, ask for a change in your own words, and read the Monday report. If you have no business running, ask your named contact for a test account.
Agencies: finish the four White label steps with your own domain: your brand, a verified sending domain, one client email for the weekly report, and your dashboard address showing Live. Hosting companies and other partners: open your share link in a private window and check that the sign-up buttons carry your code, and add your build link, with &pref=, wherever your customers start a site.
Pass the quiz below: 16 right answers out of 20.
Book the review call with your named contact: about 30 minutes in which you build a business from a sentence your contact gives you, and answer three questions about your own customers.
Agree to sell it honestly: the rules in lesson 7, which are also a condition of the rewards.

Your certification stays valid while you are in the partner program and follow lesson 7. When something important changes in the product, we tell you which lesson to read again.
