Why join the program
The Certyneo partner program is designed for long-term referrals. No volume pressure, no commitment — just recurring commissions for as long as your clients stay subscribed.
Attractive recurring commission
20% on your referrals' subscription year one, 10% the following years — no income cap, no volume haircut.
Predictable income over 3-5 years
Certyneo's 24-month retention exceeds 92%. Your commissions become a recurring annuity, not a one-time payout.
Co-branded tools included
Dedicated landing for your firm, custom promo codes for your clients (-10% the first month), logo kit and ready-to-send email templates.
Dedicated account manager
One contact for your referrals, free product training for your team, priority support on the first rollouts.
Commission structure
The grid is simple and public. Every partner earns the same rates regardless of size — transparency is non-negotiable in this program.
| Period | Rate | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | 20% | On every paid subscription month from the referred client, starting day 1 of signup. |
| Years 2+ | 10% | For as long as the referred client stays subscribed. No end date, no haircut. |
| Volume bonus 10+ active referrals | +5% | If you maintain at least 10 active referrals simultaneously, +5% on all your rates (i.e. 25% year 1 and 15% following years). |
| Enterprise referral (>€500/month) | On request | For Enterprise referrals, a negotiated commission case by case (typically 15-25% year 1 depending on the contract). |
Commissions are paid monthly by SEPA transfer, in arrears. VAT in addition for VAT-registered partners. Detailed conditions in the partner contract (PDF sent upon validation).
The 3 profiles that win the most
The program is open to every professional working with businesses, but three profiles get the most leverage from recurring commissions.
Accounting firms
Your clients sign engagement letters, payslips, annual accounts, VAT certificates. Electronic signatures cut their delays from 5-7 days to 24h — they will thank you for the recommendation.
Ideal if > 30 active clients
Law firms
Fee agreements, private deeds, mandates — every written output gains probative value with an eIDAS AES or QES signature. GDPR and professional secrecy are preserved.
Ideal for 3-20 lawyers
Digital and consulting agencies
Your SMB clients sign commercial contracts, NDAs, creative briefs, IP assignments. You gain tech-stack credibility plus passive revenue on every recommendation.
Ideal portfolio > 15 SaaS clients

Contractual framework and compliance
The program is governed by an electronically signed partner contract that lays out the rules transparently.
- Open-ended partner contract, terminable with 30 days' notice by either party, no penalty.
- No sharing of your referred clients' data beyond the strict minimum (email for attribution, subscription status).
- For lawyers and accountants: compatibility with deontological rules validated by our legal counsel (un-paid recommendation from the advisor, commission collected on the introducer side).
- The referred client is informed of the partner program during signup, as French case law on business introduction requires.
Frequently asked questions
Concretely, how much do I earn for an average referral?
For a Standard client (€19/month × 12 = €228/year), you earn 20% × €228 = €45.60 year 1, then 10% × €228 = €22.80/year afterwards. Over 5 years, that's €137 in commissions per referral that stays subscribed — without any additional work from you after the recommendation.
For how long do I earn commissions?
As long as the client stays subscribed. No end date, no haircut. If a referral from 2026 stays for 7 years, you earn 20% year 1 then 10% for 6 years = around €320 on the Standard plan, or more depending on their plan.
How am I paid?
Monthly SEPA transfer, the 5th of the following month, to your business bank account. No minimum payout. A monthly invoice is auto-generated by our system (nothing for you to issue). VAT in addition for VAT-registered partners.
Is there an exclusivity clause?
No. You can keep recommending DocuSign, Yousign, or any other solution — we require no exclusivity. The commission is paid only on clients who sign up via your Certyneo link or promo code.
Do you offer white-label?
Not as standard — the partner program is a referral program, not a reseller program. For a white-label rollout on a >50 simultaneous-clients portfolio, contact us: we have Enterprise partnerships with a case-by-case commercial model.
What if I want to stop?
You can terminate the partner contract anytime with 30 days' notice, no penalty. Important: even after termination, you keep earning commissions on your existing referrals (the end of the contract doesn't break your right to commission on the existing stock).
