Terms of the MaxMind partnership program

Generally, the MaxMind partnership program rewards partners with a 10% commission on the lifetime revenue generated by referred customers, with some exceptions and qualifications.

Before applying to the partnership program, you should consult the terms and conditions set forth in the partnership program application. The terms in the application and in the partnership program portal will govern your relationship with MaxMind. This article will provide a brief summary of how you can get qualified referrals, and how much money MaxMind will pay for referrals.

Getting referrals

Approved MaxMind partners will be able to use the partnership portal to generate unique links to send their users and customers to MaxMind. If someone follows one of these links and signs up for an account through the MaxMind website, that account will be marked as having been referred by the specific partner who created the link. In cases where a prospective MaxMind customer uses links from more than one partner, the last partner referral link that is followed before account creation will be marked as the referrer of the account.

Payment for referrals 

MaxMind will pay a 10% commission on all qualified purchases made by a customer that you refer. The 10% commission is based on the sale price, so if a referred customer spends $100 per month on qualified purchases, MaxMind will pay $10 per month to the partner.

MaxMind supports two methods of attribution: Referral tracking links for online self-service signups and deal registration for offline deal referrals. Qualified purchases are any purchases made through MaxMind's shopping cart system. The vast majority of our customers purchase through the shopping cart, but we do occasionally have customers who make their purchases through invoiced offline payments. For offline or managed deals, partners must register the deal in their dedicated partnership portal to secure attribution. Once registered, MaxMind will lead the sales process while providing you with real-time visibility into the deal's progress directly through your portal dashboard.
