Pick your track

Four ways to partner.

Different businesses, different mechanics. Pick the track that fits how you actually work, and switch tracks whenever your model changes.

  • For consultants & individuals

    Referral Partner

    You know hoteliers who could use a better platform. Send them our way and earn 20% recurring on every paid month, for the lifetime of the customer.

    • 20% recurring commission, paid monthly, for as long as the customer pays.
    • No quotas. Refer one hotel a year or one a week, both get paid.
    • Co-branded landing pages and a unique tracking link in your dashboard.
  • For digital agencies & consultancies

    Agency Partner

    You build websites, run revenue management, or implement hotel tech. Earn higher commissions, get co-marketing, and a named partner manager.

    • 30% recurring commission, plus implementation fee revenue share.
    • Listed in our public partner directory with a dedicated profile page.
    • Quarterly co-marketing budget and joint webinar slots.
  • For software & service vendors

    Technology Partner

    You build software hoteliers use, review platforms, BI tools, payment providers, smart-lock systems. Build a certified integration on the HotelBee API.

    • Free sandbox, full API documentation, and engineering office hours.
    • Listed in the HotelBee marketplace with one-click install for customers.
    • Joint go-to-market: co-branded case studies, conference visibility.
  • For regional distributors

    Reseller Partner

    You sell hotel software in a specific country or region. Become an authorised HotelBee reseller with localised pricing, training, and tier-1 support.

    • Custom margin agreements (typically 35–45%) with a multi-year commit.
    • Local-language sales materials, training certification, and demo seats.
    • Protected territory and quarterly business reviews with the founders.
Why partner with HotelBee

Built so you actually win.

Most partner programs are a portal, a PDF, and a coupon code. Ours is real revenue, real support, and a product your customers will keep paying for, which is the only metric that matters.

  • Lifetime recurring revenue

    Commissions are paid for as long as the customer pays HotelBee, not capped at 12 months, not stepped down. The longer they stay, the more you earn.

  • Honest, generous rates

    Industry standard is 10–15% for one year. We pay 20–45% for life. Our model only works if partners actually make real money.

  • A named human partner manager

    Every active partner gets a dedicated contact on Slack and email, not a ticketing queue. They will join your sales calls if it helps close a deal.

  • Certification & training

    Free implementation training, sales enablement decks, demo accounts, and a quarterly partner masterclass. Get HotelBee-certified in two weeks.

  • Customer protection

    No bait-and-switch on customers you bring. We do not contact your referrals about anything you did not approve, and we will not sell around you.

  • Transparent dashboard

    See every referral in real time, clicks, sign-ups, MRR, payout schedule. Export anywhere. Net-30 payouts on the 1st of every month.

How it works

Five steps to your first commission.

No drawn-out vetting calls or 40-page contracts. We aim to have approved partners earning their first commission within 30 days.

For developers

Build on the HotelBee API.

Three public REST APIs cover the integration surface most teams need. Order API for POS, Booking Engine API for direct reservations, and channel-manager webhooks for OTA distribution. Token auth, signed payloads, and engineering support while you build.

  • Order API, push POS orders from kiosks, room tablets or third-party apps straight into HotelBee.
  • Booking Engine API, embed our reservation flow into your own site and route bookings into the PMS.
  • Channel manager webhooks for Channex, beds24, HotelRunner, WebHotelier and Exely. HMAC-signed, retried automatically.
  • Sandbox accounts with realistic seed data, on request. Stripe test mode included.
  • Engineering office hours every Wednesday for partners actively building.

Partnership FAQs

Honest answers about commissions, terms, and the small print.

Whatever the program promises in marketing copy, the contract is what counts. Here are the actual mechanics, and our promise that you will see the same answers in writing before you sign. Or talk to us.

  • Commission is a percentage of the net recurring revenue HotelBee invoices to a customer you referred, net of taxes, refunds, and credits. It is paid monthly in arrears on the 1st of the following month, by bank transfer, Wise or Stripe Connect. There is no minimum payout threshold, no clawback after the first 60 days, and no annual reset. If your customer pays €4,000/year and you are at Gold tier (30%), you earn €100/month for life.
