Becoming a Paystack Service Partner

Paystack's partner program (sometimes called Service Partners or Technology Partners) lists vetted agencies, freelancers, and developers who merchants can hire to implement Paystack. When a merchant signs up and says "I need help integrating," Paystack may direct them to the partner directory.

Two main partner types:

• Service Partners — agencies or freelancers who implement Paystack for merchants. Scope: integration, custom checkout, marketplace split payments, subscription billing.
• Technology Partners — platforms, plugins, and tools that have built a Paystack integration into their product (e.g., a WooCommerce plugin, an ERP system).

1. Go to paystack.com/partners — look for a "Become a Partner" or "Apply" link.
2. Prepare your portfolio: list 2-3 live merchant integrations you built. Include the merchant name (with permission), the integration type (checkout, subscriptions, marketplace), and the countries covered.
3. Complete any partner onboarding form — typically asks about your team size, specialisation, geographies you serve, and your Paystack experience.
4. If accepted, you'll receive a partner listing and access to partner resources (documentation, co-marketing, support escalation contacts).

If the formal partner program is not yet open in your country, focus on building your reputation through content, client work, and community presence. Paystack program availability varies by market.
