Partner programme

Sell smart business cards with Taplink

Your clients already buy business cards from you. Offer them a smart card instead: one tap shares a branded profile, and details update without a new print run. We print, program and host every card. You earn on the cards, and resellers keep earning on the hosting every year the client stays.

Two ways to partner

Choose how involved you want to be. You can start as a referral partner and move up to reseller later.

Referral partner

Introduce a client. We do everything else.

  • Introduce a company that needs 10 or more cards
  • We quote, design, produce and support
  • You earn a fee on the client's first order
  • No targets and no cost to join

Reseller

Sell the cards as your own sale.

  • You sell to the client and invoice them yourself
  • You supply artwork on our card template
  • You buy every card at a reseller discount
  • You earn a share of the hosting every year the client stays

Who it suits

  • Branding and marketing agencies
  • Print shops and printers
  • Corporate gift and promotional suppliers
  • IT and office suppliers who sell to companies

What we do

  • Print and program every card
  • Build every profile and the client's admin portal
  • Host the profiles and bill the yearly hosting
  • Ship to you or to your client's company, anywhere in South Africa and Namibia

What you do

  • Bring the client relationship
  • As a reseller, supply artwork and the team list
  • As a reseller, answer the client's first questions

Frequently asked questions

Who can become a Taplink partner?

Any South African or Namibian business that already sells to companies, such as a branding agency, a print shop, a corporate gift supplier or an IT reseller. Taplink is business to business only, so partners sell to companies rather than to individuals.

What is the difference between a referral partner and a reseller?

A referral partner introduces a client and we do everything else, from the quote to the support, and the partner earns a fee on the first order. A reseller sells the cards as their own sale, supplies artwork on our template and invoices the client, and earns a discount on every card plus a share of the yearly hosting.

Do I need to design or produce anything?

No production at all. We print and program every card, build every profile and host them. A reseller supplies print-ready artwork on our card template; a referral partner does not supply anything beyond the introduction.

Is the portal branded as mine?

No. The admin portal and the profiles carry the Taplink name, alongside your client's own logo and branding on every card and profile.

What does it cost to join?

Nothing. There is no joining fee. Send us your details through the form on this page and we will send you the full partner terms, the card template and a sample card.
