The WP Engine Agency Partner Program

Our program is completely free to join!

We require a business email that we can match to your website so we can create a unique user profile and ID.

Yes, we require our partners to have active websites that display their services.

No, this program is not the same as our Affiliate Program. This program is specifically for agencies who build or maintain websites for their clients. Our Affiliate Program is for those that recommend WP Engine, but do not have clients.

Nope! There is no site requirement in order to join.

Every new partner starts off in the Member tier. As you refer more revenue you may move up the tiers.

WP Engine agency partners receive free access to a hosting environment where they can host their agency website for free, explore platform features, demo WP Engine for clients, and access technical support.

The commission structure and terms may vary depending on the agreement and terms between WP Engine and the agency partner. Additionally, WP Engine might have updated its commission structure or terms since then.

In general, commission structures in agency partner programs can take several forms:

One-Time Commission: Agencies may receive a one-time commission for each client they refer to WP Engine who signs up for a hosting plan. The commission is typically a percentage of the initial sale or a fixed amount.

Recurring Commission: Some partner programs offer recurring commissions, where agencies earn a percentage of the revenue generated from the referred clients’ ongoing hosting fees. This type of commission is paid for the duration of the client’s subscription.

Tiered Commission: WP Engine might have a tiered commission system based on the number of clients an agency refers or the total revenue generated from their referrals. As the agency refers more clients or generates higher revenue, they may qualify for higher commission rates.

Performance-Based Commission: In some cases, commissions might be based on specific performance metrics, such as the number of sign-ups within a specific time frame or the overall sales volume generated by the agency’s referrals.

Bonus or Incentive Programs: Some partner programs may include bonus or incentive programs, offering additional rewards for achieving certain milestones or meeting specific targets.

No, there is no minimum number of clients or accounts you need in order to join the program. Some agencies join the WP Engine Agency Partner Program with a large client list, others join just as they are starting their agency and use the relationship with WP Engine as part of their growth strategy.

First of all, we’re so glad that you already trust your client’s success with WP Engine! Yes, you can definitely apply for the WP Engine Agency Partner Program at any time.
