This guide helps you understand the concepts of discount and recurring cashback in the context of the Infomaniak Partner Program.

Prerequisites

• Understanding the differences between the 2 types of authorizations linking a Client to the Partner, which can be defined from the Manager
• Understanding the differences between the 2 types of payment methods linking a Client to the Partner, which can be defined from the Manager

Cashback
 

This is an amount equal to the difference between the public price and the preferential price that the Partner benefits from as an Infomaniak reseller.

This amount is credited as cashback to the Partner's prepaid account in the following cases:

Partnership with full access (Client's payment methods)

• when the Client places an order or renews a product
• when the Partner places an order or renews a product on behalf of their client using their client's payment methods

Partnership with full access (Partner's payment methods)

• when the Client places an order or renews a product

Partnership with limited access

• when the Client places an order or renews a product managed by the Partner

Discount

A Partner benefits from discounts on orders and renewals due to their Infomaniak reseller status. The discount applies in the following case:

Partnership with full access (Partner's payment methods)

• when the Partner places an order or renews a product on behalf of their client using their payment methods

Accumulation

The discount accumulates with the decreasing rate of Web/Mail hosting.

With 35 Web hostings, for example, you only pay CHF 208.32 / month ex. VAT per hosting instead of CHF 347.20, which represents a total reduction of - 40%.

Detail of the calculation in CHF (ex. VAT):

• normal price for 35 Web hostings: CHF 347.20
• with Partner discount of 20%: CHF 277.76
• final partner rate with decreasing rate of 25%: CHF 208.32

Detail of the calculation in euro (ex. VAT):

• normal price for 35 Web hostings: € 201.25
• with Partner discount of 20%: € 161
• final partner rate with decreasing rate of 25%: € 120.75

The decreasing rate (- 25%) is therefore applied to the residual amount after applying the partner discount (- 20%).
