Refer a qualified opportunity and earn on deals that close, with no delivery or support obligation. Referral Partners is the lightest way to work with Staple. It sits under Sell Staple for people and companies that want to add value for their network and be rewarded for it, without packaging, pricing, or delivering the product themselves. If you know an enterprise that struggles with invoices, receipts, KYC packs, or cross-border e-invoicing, an introduction is all it takes to participate.

How It Works

• Register a qualified introduction through a simple process, so the opportunity is attributed to you from the start.

• Staple runs qualification, contracting, and delivery end to end.

• You earn referral fees on deals that close, defined up front so there is no ambiguity about what a successful introduction is worth.

Who It Is For

Referral partners are advisers, technology companies, service firms, and well-connected individuals with trusted enterprise relationships who prefer to introduce opportunities rather than sell or deliver. A finance consultant who hears a client complain about manual invoice processing, an ERP contractor who sees documents breaking a go-live, an accountant whose client faces a new e-invoicing mandate, each is well placed to make an introduction that turns into a solved problem and a referral fee. It is a low-effort way to add real value for your network while keeping your own focus on your core business.

Why It Is An Easy Introduction To Make

You are not asking your contact to take a risk on an unproven tool. Staple runs in production for Fortune 100 companies and global institutions in 60 countries at a 100 percent deployment success rate, is an accredited PEPPOL Access Point, and is recognized with the SAP Concur Award 2026. The problem it solves, turning messy, multilingual documents into clean, verified, audit-ready data, is one nearly every finance and operations team recognizes immediately, and the pain is growing as e-invoicing mandates roll out across Singapore, Malaysia, Europe, and beyond. That makes a referral a genuinely helpful introduction rather than a favor you are calling in.

What Happens After You Refer

Once an introduction is registered, Staple takes it from there: qualifying the opportunity, running the sales process, scoping the deployment, contracting, and delivering. You are kept informed of progress on the deals you introduced, but you carry none of the work and none of the risk. If the opportunity closes, you are paid according to the terms agreed when you registered it. If it does not, you have still done your contact a service by pointing them at a real solution.

Referral, Reseller, Or Something More

Referral is deliberately the lightest track, and many partners start here. If you later decide you want to own the commercial relationship and earn margin rather than a referral fee, the Reseller Program is the next step up, and if your value is in delivery you can look at Deliver Staple. There is no obligation to move; the point of the referral track is that it asks almost nothing of you while still rewarding the relationships you already have.

No Conflict With Your Core Business

Because you never hold the contract or deliver the product, the referral track does not compete with what you already do; it complements it. An advisory firm can point a client at Staple without taking on software resale it is not set up for. A technology company can refer document processing without adding a product it would then have to support. The introduction sits cleanly alongside your existing relationship rather than reshaping it, which is exactly why referral is the right first step for partners who value their independence or simply do not want delivery obligations.

A Track Record Worth Attaching Your Name To

Referring a vendor puts a little of your own credibility on the line, so it matters that Staple can back the introduction up. Deployments span banking, insurance, manufacturing, logistics, consumer goods, and professional services, with results like 99.6 percent accuracy on documents legacy tools could not read and processing time cut by large margins. When you refer Staple, you are pointing your contact at a platform with a real production record and recognized partnerships, not a promising demo, which protects the trust your network places in you.

Scope

Registration and referral fees are defined up front. You carry no delivery or support obligation. Staple owns qualification, the sales process, contracting, and customer communication once an introduction is registered. You are never responsible for the product, the pricing, or the outcome of the deployment; your role begins and ends with the introduction, and your reward follows from it.
