Getting Started as a Partner

Partner Role Overview

Partners are responsible for discovering and recruiting local businesses to Starzip, supporting their onboarding, conducting the first-stage review, and helping them grow on the platform. In return, partners receive rewards tied to the success and activity of the businesses they recruit.

What Partners Do

• Discover and recruit local businesses that are a good fit for Starzip.
• Guide business owners through the registration and onboarding process.
• Conduct the first-stage review, verifying that submitted information is accurate and that the business meets Starzip's listing criteria.
• Monitor the status and performance of recruited businesses through the Partner Dashboard.
• Support businesses in supplementing or correcting information when requested.

Two-Stage Review Process

Business registration on Starzip follows a two-stage review process. Partners are responsible for the first stage.

• Stage 1 — Partner review: The partner verifies the authenticity and eligibility of the submitted information (approximately 1–3 business days).
• Stage 2 — Starzip final review: Starzip conducts a final assessment of the business before activation (approximately 2–4 weeks).

How to Get Started

1. Register as a partner and receive approval from Starzip.
2. Access the Partner Dashboard once your account is approved.
3. Recruit your first business and help them register on the platform.
4. Complete the first-stage review for the registered business.
5. Wait for Starzip's final review and approval.
6. Once approved, the business is activated and you can monitor its progress from the dashboard.

Partner Authentication

Partners sign in using the same secure flow as business owners. Gas fees are covered by the platform, so you can access the Partner Dashboard without holding any cryptocurrency.
