Enough for a small team to get started on Nova.
Full Pro features — ring groups, queues, 180-day recordings.
Ultra seats with full API access, webhooks, and priority support.
Every channel partner gets free Nova seats.

Diamond ($75k+ MRR) earns a custom recurring rate negotiated individually and does not include a seat upgrade beyond Platinum. Standard usage rates apply for voice minutes, messaging, and toll-free — a credit card is required on your own Nova account for usage charges.

We run the rails. You run the relationship.
Channel partnership is a clean division of labor between platform operations and customer relationships.
The work that wins and keeps customers — hardware install, vertical expertise, configuration retainers, human support — is what you're strong at. The work that has gotten harder every quarter for the last few years — STIR/SHAKEN attestation, 10DLC campaign onboarding and brand vetting, FCC Form 499 filings (US), CRTC TSP contribution (Canada), E911 dispatchable location records, CALEA wiretap readiness, carrier contracts, billing infrastructure — is what we run.
None of the platform-side work shows up on a customer invoice, but every hour spent maintaining it is an hour you don't spend on the work that actually wins retainers. Channel partnership takes that hour off your plate.
What you keep doing
- Hardware procurement, install, and replacement
- Vertical-industry expertise (legal, healthcare, hospitality)
- Human support & onboarding
- Configuration retainers (IVRs, queues, integrations)
- The customer relationship
What we run for you
- STIR/SHAKEN attestation & signing
- 10DLC campaign onboarding & brand vetting
- FCC 499, CRTC TSP, E911, CALEA compliance
- Platform engineering & uptime SLAs
- Carrier contracts, peering, capacity planning
- Billing, payment processing, invoicing
Channel partners run the customer relationship; we run the rails. Both win.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Affiliate and Channel Partner?
Affiliates earn a one-time commission per seat by referring customers — no portal access to client accounts. Channel Partners manage their clients directly through SIPSTACK and earn a tiered recurring monthly revenue share on every billing cycle, for as long as the client stays.
How does recurring revenue share work for Channel Partners?
Revenue share is calculated on your clients' Nova PBX subscription fees. Flare SMS subscriptions, Aura AI usage, voice/SMS overage, one-time charges (number purchases, hardware), and payment processing fees are excluded — Flare is priced competitively on true usage and doesn't carry the seat-based margin to support commissions. Tier qualification is computed in USD; Canadian-billed customers convert at SIPSTACK's published annual reference rate, set January 1 each year and held constant for the calendar year. SIPSTACK handles all billing, support infrastructure, and platform operations. Payouts are via Stripe Connect directly to your bank account.
Is there a minimum commitment or monthly fee to become a Channel Partner?
No minimum commitment and no monthly fee. You start at the Bronze tier on day one. Your tier is computed quarterly from aggregate USD MRR — Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond unlock as your managed book grows. Once you achieve a tier, your commission rate is locked for the rest of the calendar quarter even if a customer cancels mid-period.
Are commissions lifetime residuals?
Yes — there is no sunset on commissions. As long as your client remains a SIPSTACK customer, you earn your revenue share every month. Industry-standard 90-day clawback applies if a client churns within the first 90 days.
Do I get to use SIPSTACK for my own business as a Channel Partner?
Yes — every channel partner gets complimentary Nova PBX seats for their own office. Bronze (entry tier) includes 1 Core seat, activated after your first managed client reaches active status (skin in the game). Silver adds 5 Core seats; Gold 25 Pro seats; Platinum 50 Ultra seats. Standard usage rates apply for minutes, messaging, and toll-free — a credit card is required on your own account for usage charges. The subscription fee itself is waived as long as you maintain your tier. Your partner account is completely separate from your managed client accounts.
How does client privacy work?
By default you have visibility into your clients' call logs, recordings, and SMS for support purposes. Each client can adjust what you can see through their privacy settings. Billing and payment details are always private to the client owner.
Do I need special hardware to sell SIPSTACK?
No. Any SIP-enabled device works with Nova PBX. We provide native auto-provisioning for Yealink, Grandstream, and Polycom — see our docs for the full supported model list. Other SIP-compatible desk phones, softphones, and headsets work via manual configuration.
When does Affiliate commission pay out?
After the referred client has been active for 90 days (retention requirement). This ensures you're referring genuine customers. Once qualified, payout is processed within 30 days.
