This document outlines HubDo's standard commission structure for resellers and referral partners. This policy applies when no formal partnership agreement is in place.
Version: 2.2
Note: Companies generating significant recurring business may be eligible for a formal Partnership Agreement with enhanced terms and committed volumes. Contact us to discuss partnership opportunities.
How It Works
HubDo values relationships with agencies, consultants, and implementation partners who refer clients or collaborate on projects. When you introduce a client to HubDo solutions or work alongside us on implementations, you can earn commissions on both software licenses and professional services.
1. Software License Reseller Commissions
Eligibility
You earn recurring commissions when you:
- Introduce a client to software available through HubDo (e.g., PandaDoc, DoPricer)
- The client subscribes through HubDo's arrangement
- The client relationship is registered to you in our tracking system
Commission Structure
Commissions are not a fixed percentage. Instead, they are calculated based on:
Where:
- Client Payment Amount = What the client actually pays
- Wholesale Price = The price payable by you (the reseller) if purchasing directly from HubDo, as shown in the separate Pricing Schedule
- 2% Processing Fee = Applied to cover commission handling costs
Pricing Schedule
A separate Pricing Schedule document lists:
- LIST prices (standard retail prices)
- Wholesale prices (HubDo's cost)
- Calculated commission amounts at LIST price (for reference)
- Which services are eligible for commission (not all services qualify)
The Pricing Schedule is provided separately and updated as needed.
Payment Cycles
Commissions are paid in accordance with the customer's payment cycle:
- Monthly subscriptions = Commission paid monthly
- Quarterly subscriptions = Commission paid quarterly
- Annual subscriptions = Commission paid annually
Commission Tracking
Commissions are tracked in HubDo's internal systems. Currently this is managed through HubDo Marketplace, but the tracking system is subject to change. You may not always have direct system access, but you will always receive detailed statements.
When Commissions Stop
Commissions cease when:
- The client cancels their subscription
- The client's account becomes delinquent
- The client advises they are no longer working with you, by any of these methods:
- Client unlinks from your account in HubDo Marketplace
- Client advises HubDo via conversation, email, or other means
If active commissions are affected by a client unlinking, HubDo will notify you of this change.
2. Professional Services Reseller Commissions
Eligibility
When HubDo provides implementation, configuration, or ongoing support services directly to a client you've introduced, and bills the client directly for this work, you may earn commissions on those services.
Commission Structure
Professional services commissions are calculated using the same formula:
Specific rates and commissions payable are listed in the separate Pricing Schedule.
What Services Qualify
Not all services are eligible for commission. Refer to the Pricing Schedule for:
- Which service types are commissionable
- Applicable rates and commission amounts
- Any exclusions or special terms
3. How We Report and Pay Commissions
Step 1: Commission Calculation
Commission is calculated at the time of customer billing, which normally occurs on the 1st of each month (but may vary based on the customer's payment cycle).
Step 2: Credit Note Issued
HubDo reports your commission by issuing a credit note in your favour. This credit note shows:
- Commission amount earned
- Client reference
- Calculation details
Step 3: VAT Invoice (If Required)
- UK-based resellers registered for VAT must issue a VAT invoice to HubDo to replace the credit note
- Non-UK resellers are welcome to generate a non-VAT invoice to replace the credit note if desired for your accounting purposes
- If you don't issue an invoice, the credit note serves as your documentation
Step 4: Credit Application
Your commission credit is applied to offset any outstanding invoices you may have with HubDo, such as:
- Cost of PandaDoc seats used in-house by your company
- Any other services you've purchased from HubDo
Step 5: Activity Statement
HubDo provides you with an activity statement showing:
- Commission credit notes issued to you
- Invoices paid via commission credits
- Net amount outstanding that is:
- Payable to you (if you have a credit balance), OR
- Payable to HubDo (if you have a debit balance)
Step 6: Payment
If you have a net credit balance, HubDo remits payment to you.
4. Monthly Statements
By the 5th business day of each month (or following the customer's billing cycle), you'll receive a statement showing:
- Software license commissions earned
- Professional services commissions earned
- Total commission as reported on the detailed credit note
- Credit applied to any invoices owed by you
- Net amount payable to you (if in credit) or to HubDo (if debit balance)
5. Payment Terms
Payment Timeline
Payments are made within 10 business days of the statement date.
Payment Method
Payments are made via bank transfer to your nominated account. We'll need:
- Company name
- Bank account details
- Preferred payment currency
- Accounting contact email
Currency and Fees
Credit is paid via bank transfer in USD or in a currency nominated by you.
Payment is made net of fees in your requested currency. The following fees are deducted:
- 2% handling fee (already factored into commission calculation)
- Financial transfer fees (if any) deducted by our payment provider
Current Payment Provider: Wise (subject to change)
Recommendation: We strongly recommend using Wise to receive commission payments. When transferring Wise-to-Wise:
- Only currency conversion fees apply
- No bank transfer fees are charged
Avoid SWIFT transfers as they typically deduct higher fees.
Exchange Rates: Exchange rates are reported in the bank transfer details and can be detailed on a Wise transaction statement if required.
6. Statements and Reporting
Regular Statements
HubDo always provides a statement at the time of commission payment.
Additional Statements
Statements for other periods are available upon request at any time.
Statement Access
Currently, some resellers may have access to view information through HubDo Marketplace, but system access is not guaranteed. Regardless of system access, you will always receive detailed statements showing all commission activity.
7. Client Attribution
Who Gets Credit?
The reseller who first introduces HubDo to a client gets attributed for that relationship. Attribution is determined by:
- First documented introduction
- Client confirmation during onboarding
- Registration date in our tracking system
Shared Introductions
If there's any question about who introduced a client, we'll:
- Contact all parties involved
- Make a fair determination based on documentation
- Resolve within 10 business days

Minimum Thresholds
We typically offer Partnership Agreements when:
