How to Earn Recurring Revenue as an Odoo Partner or Integrator

🎯 Why This Fits Odoo Integrators, Freelancers, and Agencies

You already have the two hardest assets to acquire: clients who trust you, and knowledge of exactly where their Odoo workflows still hurt. Every client who receives orders by email, chases overdue invoices, or matches bank payments by hand is a candidate for one of the twelve BOTS4.me apps — Mail2ERP, AutoERP, Pay2ERP, AutoCASH, Supplier2ERP, AutoSTOCK, AutoPURCHASE, AutoSPAM, Mail2CLOUD, Mail2KNOW, ClientFACTORY, and AutoGEO.

The alternative ways integrators try to build recurring revenue each have a catch. Custom automation development earns once, then you maintain it for free — or lose the client at the next Odoo upgrade. Maintenance retainers are recurring but cap out at the hours you can sell. Generic affiliate programs typically pay once, on the first sale, and disconnect you from the client afterwards.

The Growth Partner program is built differently: the commission is a revenue share on every subscription payment, on every paid plan, month after month, year after year, while you remain a partner: the full rate for 24 months, then 10%. Setup is genuinely light: the free BOTS4.me Connect module (Odoo 13–19, LGPL-3, on apps.odoo.com) connects a client’s Odoo in minutes, one connection serves every BOTS4.me app that works with Odoo, and every bot starts in DEMO, so you can show the client what it would do before anything is written to their database.

💶 How the Commission Works

You earn a share of every subscription payment made by the clients linked to you, on every paid plan: the full rate for the first 24 months, then 10% for as long as the client pays and you remain a partner. The full rate scales with two things: the client’s plan (Personal, Family and Business share one rate ladder, Enterprise starts higher) and the billing period (longer billing periods pay a higher share).

• Range: 14% to 20% of each subscription payment. A Personal, Family or Business client on monthly billing sits at the 14% end (Enterprise monthly: 16%); Personal, Family and Business clients on annual billing and Enterprise clients on semiannual or annual billing reach the full 20%. Extra usage packs a client buys while holding a paid plan pay 14%, and 10% from year 3.
• Duration: not a one-off bounty. The full rate applies for 24 months from the client’s first paid order on any plan; after that you earn 10% on every payment for as long as the client pays and you remain a partner.
• Payouts: monthly, via bank transfer, Wise or Revolut, once your balance reaches €50.
• Clawbacks: honest and symmetric — if a client’s payment is refunded, the corresponding commission is deducted.
• Every paid plan: Personal and Family plans earn commission too. Only the free Discovery month and orders of 0 € earn nothing. A client who joins through your link on the free plan stays linked to you, and your commission starts automatically with their first paid order.

🗓️ Full Rate for 24 Months, Then 10%

Every client follows the same simple rule. There are no partner levels to climb: every approved partner earns on every paid plan from day one.

🤝 What Partners Actually Do — and Who Supports the Client

Your part is the introduction: you know which of your clients still retype orders, chase invoices or match payments by hand, you show them the demo or switch on Demo Mode on their own mailbox, and you help them choose the right bots. If a client wants help with the setup, you can give it — you arrange and charge that directly with the client. You have no support duties. BOTS4.me supports every client at support@bots4.me: questions, settings and technical issues all come to us, not to you. Connecting a client takes minutes with the free connector, the bots run themselves with per-run reports and full decision logs, and every bot starts in DEMO, so nothing is written to a client’s database before the client decides.

For your sales conversations, the honest proof points are real: one production client, IMP Kontakt, turns thousands of emailed RFQs and orders a month into ERP records with Mail2ERP, and AutoSPAM survived a 1.5-million-email mail-bomb in 15 minutes. The platform is EU-hosted, built for GDPR, offers optional 2FA and sends its reports in 31 languages. The first month of each start-free app is free, which makes the pitch easy: “switch it on in DEMO and see what it would have done this week.” Full pitch material: How to automate Odoo end-to-end.

⏳ Open to Everyone — How to Apply

This guide is written for Odoo partners, but anyone who knows companies can refer them: consultants, accountants, IT service companies and agencies are welcome too. There is no limit on places, and every application is reviewed by hand, within 5 business days. Apply on bots4.me/earn-with-us.

• Step 1: Fill in the form under “Apply to Become a Growth Partner” at bots4.me/earn-with-us: your name, work email, company and website, and how many ERP/Odoo clients you work with. Agree to the Terms and click Submit Application. You can also write to support@bots4.me.
• Step 2: We reply by email within 5 business days. Once approved, you get your partner dashboard at bots4.me/earn-with-us, with your partner code and referral link. Add your payout details (IBAN or Wise email) straight away; commission cannot be paid without them.
• Step 3: Try the apps on your own Odoo first so you can demo from experience. Once approved, your dashboard opens in Partner Mode, with every setting visible. Real runs follow your own plan, so start the free Discovery month on the apps you want to show; more access is available on request for demos and product familiarity. The connector install takes minutes. Do not enter your own partner code on your own account.
• Step 4: Bring your first clients in through your referral link or partner code (see “How a client becomes yours” below) and show them Demo Mode during their free Discovery month. Your commission starts with their first paid order on any plan; BOTS4.me handles all support.

🔗 How a Client Becomes Yours — and Tries the Apps Free

Your commission depends on the client being linked to you, so this part is worth getting right. Your partner dashboard at bots4.me/earn-with-us shows your partner code and your referral link.

• 1 — Send your referral link. Your link looks like https://bots4.me/?partner=YOURCODE. A client who signs up through it is connected to you automatically on their first dashboard visit, even if they finish signing up later. The first partner wins: if the client already has a partner, the link does nothing.
• 2 — Or give your code. A client who creates their account from inside Odoo, with the BOTS4.me Connect wizard (“Create a new account at www.bots4.me”), enters your code in the Partner Code field. A client on any plan can also enter it on the partner code page.
• 3 — The client starts a free Discovery month. They sign in at bots4.me/bots, click Start free Discovery month on the app’s card and accept the Terms once — no credit card needed. Odoo.sh and on-premise clients can click the same button on the app’s row in Odoo, which connects their Odoo in the same click.
• 4 — Run the first week in DEMO. Switches with a Discovery tag on the Control tab are included in the client’s free month and start switched off — you can help the client switch on the ones worth trying, and walk through the DEMO report emails and the Logs tab together. When the DEMO reports look right, set Mode to LIVE on the Control tab — it unlocks after the first DEMO report email.
• 5 — After the month. The app continues on the free plan by itself, with a small monthly allowance, or the client chooses a plan. The free plan pays no commission, but the client stays linked to you. Your commission starts automatically with their first paid order on any plan.
