Capabilities

Kontext Partners is the referral desk: share /join/CODE, earn KTX on verified signups, and a lifetime % of referred subscriptions. Chrome title Kontext Partners. Selling templates is Marketplace. Company charges are Business → Revenue. Talk explains — it does not onboard you.

What is Kontext Partners?

Kontext Partners is the referral desk. You share a /join/CODE link. Verified signups earn KTX. Paid subscriptions pay you a lifetime % while they stay active. Chrome title: Kontext Partners. Landing eyebrow: Partner Program. Talk can explain this. Talk does not start onboarding, copy your link, or email signees. If /partner/dashboard is empty or refused, you are not an active partner yet — that is expected, not a broken Marketplace.

Rooms

/partner is the public landing — Start partner onboarding or Partner dashboard. /partner/onboard is the wizard: Welcome, Path, Profile, Terms, Connect, Finish. /partner/dashboard is the cockpit after you are live. Sidebar: Signees, Payouts, Referral link.

The jump row

Under the title: Dashboard, then Communities, Network, Forum, Messages, Helpdesk, University, Marketplace, Pricing. Only Dashboard is this module. The rest open those other products.

Two paths

Landing: Two paths — pick one now. Same names on the Path step.

Onboarding

Welcome: Start your journey. Path: pick one, Continue to profile. Profile: Display name, optional Short bio, then Save & continue or Sign in & continue (platform chooser). Terms: accept Partner Program Terms and FTC disclosure. Connect: Payout email, Connect with Stripe. Finish: Partner-only pays the setup fee; Partner + Customer Continue. Dashboard banners if you stop: Continue Connect setup, Finish setup, Pay setup fee, or Manage payout account on Profile → Payouts.

Referral link

Open Referral link. Heading Referral link, Your link, Copy. Prefer https://kontext.network/join/CODE. A first click is remembered 30 days in that browser. Signup locks attribution permanently.

Your signees

Your signees shows Signups, Active subs, Monthly recurring, Your rate. Roster: Handle, Tier, Your $/mo, Last sign-in. Empty: No signups yet — share your referral link to get started. With signees: Messenger group (all), Community (all signees), Engagement email. Platform templates are 🔒 Not editable — you pick template and audience (All signees or Inactive 14d+), not the copy. Then Send to signees….

Payout history

Payout history rows: Invoice, Gross, Your share, Status, Date. Status chips: Paid, Accrued, Withheld. Accrued with no Stripe Connect: Connect your payout account to start receiving these. Past accrued periods are not paid retroactively after you connect.

What it is not

Selling templates is Marketplace. Your company charges customers in Business → Revenue. Network KTX Wallet is feed tips, not partner cash. Hub → Money Earned through the platform is someone paying to use your agents. Sharing a project is Collaborations. Staff knobs live in Finance → Partner Ops — not this cockpit.

Partner (/partner) — ambassador and partner tooling: referrals, earnings, team access patterns. Distinct from Marketplace selling.

User journeys

P-01. Open the Partner dashboard

Path: Module switcher → Partner · /partner/dashboard

You do:

  1. Sign in with an account that has an activated partner profile (partner role is separate from member admin/founding roles).
  2. Open Partner from the module switcher or navigate to /partner.
  3. If not yet onboarded, follow the CTA to /partner/onboard (see P-03 or P-04).
  4. Land on /partner/dashboard — referral link panel, commission terms, and signee summary.
  5. Scan live commission tier (Standard / Pro / Elite defaults or your custom override).
  6. Confirm Stripe Connect status if you expect cash commission on subscriptions.
  7. Bookmark the dashboard — partner-only accounts redirect here instead of Workspace (P-11).

Result: Partner cockpit loads with referral tools, earnings context, and signee roster appropriate to your partner status.

P-02. Share a referral link

Path: /partner/dashboard → Referral link → copy

You do:

  1. Open /partner/dashboard and locate your unique referral link (https://kontext.network/join/CODE).
  2. Copy the link — legacy /?ref=CODE URLs redirect but prefer the /join/CODE form.
  3. Paste into email, social, or your own landing page with clear Kontext value prop.
  4. Optionally pair with Network posts or community content that explains why you recommend Kontext.
  5. Track click counts on your profile Referrals tab if you also use member-wide referral rewards.
  6. Remind prospects attribution lasts 30 days from first click in their browser (P-06).
  7. After signup, confirm they appear in your Roster with locked attribution.

Result: Attributed signups track to your partner account; KTX wallet rewards and subscription commission follow program rules on verified signup and paid plans.

P-03. Complete partner-only onboarding

Path: /partner/onboard → partner-only path → Stripe checkout

You do:

  1. Open /partner/onboard from /partner landing or a direct invite.
  2. Choose the Partner only path — dashboard access without a full creator subscription.
  3. Complete profile fields required for partner identity and payout setup.
  4. Pay the one-time canister setup fee via Stripe checkout when prompted.
  5. Finish Stripe Connect onboarding if the flow bundles payout account setup.
  6. Wait for activation — Finance admin may use manual activatePartnerAccount if checkout stalls.
  7. Confirm redirect to /partner/dashboard and that Workspace routes redirect back to partner home (P-11).

Result: Partner-only account is live with dashboard, settings, and helpdesk access; no Workspace modules until you upgrade to partner + customer (P-04).

P-04. Complete partner + customer onboarding

Path: /partner/onboard → partner + subscription path

You do:

  1. Open /partner/onboard and select Partner + Customer.
  2. Complete partner profile and referral terms acceptance.
  3. Continue into standard Kontext subscription checkout if you need Workspace, OS, and creator modules.
  4. Finish Stripe Connect for commission splits on referred subscribers.
  5. Verify partner dashboard and normal modules (Workspace, etc.) appear in the module switcher.
  6. Copy your referral link from the dashboard before promoting.
  7. Test a referred signup in incognito to confirm dual access and attribution (P-05, P-06).

Result: You operate as both partner and paying member — dashboard plus full platform modules with commission on attributed subscription revenue.

P-05. Land referred users on /join/CODE

Path: Shared link → https://kontext.network/join/CODE → onboarding

You do:

  1. Share your /join/CODE link (P-02) with a prospect.
  2. Have them open it in a fresh browser or incognito session for a clean attribution test.
  3. Confirm the referral landing renders with affiliate banner and your partner branding where enabled.
  4. Walk them through signup — attribution should lock permanently on verified account creation.
  5. Check that completeReferral credits KTX to referrer and new user per Finance Referrals rules.
  6. After they subscribe, confirm Connect split checkout fires in Stripe test or live mode (P-07).
  7. Find the new handle in your dashboard Roster with tier and estimated monthly commission.

Result: Referred user enters through your code; signup locks attribution and triggers wallet rewards plus future commission on their subscription.

P-06. Verify 30-day attribution persistence

Path: Referral click → close browser → return within 30 days → signup

You do:

  1. Open your /join/CODE link in incognito and load the landing page — attribution stores locally.
  2. Close the browser entirely without signing up.
  3. Return within 30 days using the same browser profile (or same device storage context).
  4. Confirm the affiliate banner or attribution indicator still shows your code.
  5. Complete signup and verify the account locks to your partner id permanently.
  6. Check Finance Referrals conversion row if you have admin access.
  7. Repeat with a click older than 30 days to confirm attribution expires per policy.

Result: Prospects who hesitate still credit you if they convert within the 30-day window; after signup, attribution is permanent regardless of later clears.

P-07. Connect Stripe for commission payouts

Path: /partner/onboard or dashboard → Stripe Connect · subscription checkout split

You do:

  1. During onboarding or from dashboard settings, start Stripe Connect Option A onboarding.
  2. Complete identity and payout bank details in Stripe's hosted flow.
  3. Return to Kontext and confirm Connect status shows active on the partner dashboard.
  4. Refer a test user who completes a subscription checkout in Stripe test mode.
  5. Verify checkout automatically splits to your Connect account per your commission tier or custom %.
  6. Trigger or wait for invoice.payment_succeeded — a PartnerCommissionEvent should ledger in Finance Partner Ops.
  7. Confirm renewal invoices split automatically without manual transfer (P-12).

Result: Lifetime cash commission on referred subscriptions flows through Stripe Connect on every renewal; Finance ledger mirrors each split event.

P-08. Review signee roster and estimated commissions

Path: /partner/dashboard → Signees · Roster

You do:

  1. Open /partner/dashboard and open Your signees — the Roster table.
  2. Scan handles, subscription tiers, and estimated monthly commission per signee.
  3. Sort or filter for inactive signees (last sign-in older than 14 days) when planning outreach.
  4. Compare live commission rate on the dashboard header with per-signee estimates.
  5. Note custom tier overrides if Finance assigned you a non-default percentage (1–80% range).
  6. Cross-check a high-value signee against Stripe test invoices if you are validating splits.
  7. Export or screenshot roster for your own CRM if Kontext does not offer export yet.

Result: Clear cockpit view of who you referred, what they pay, and what you likely earn each month before payouts hit Connect.

P-09. Send engagement emails to signees

Path: /partner/dashboard → Engagement email · Platform templates

You do:

  1. Open /partner/dashboard and use Engagement email or Platform templates → Send to signees….

  7. Pin key links — your referral landing, docs, or office hours — using group messaging tools.

Result: Single Messenger group connects every referred member for community support without manual @handle invites one by one.

P-11. Create a partner community with auto-enrolled signees

Path: /partner/dashboard → Partner community · Communities + Messenger link

You do:

  1. From /partner/dashboard, click Community (all signees).
  2. Name the community and set visibility — public discover vs invite-only for your cohort.
  3. Confirm auto-add rules: new and existing signees join the linked Messenger group.
  4. Finish community creation and open /community to verify the space exists.
  5. Open Open in Messenger from the community shell to confirm linkedGroupId bridge.
  6. Post an intro thread on Network or Communities feed pointing signees to the hub.

P-12. Manage partners in Finance Partner Ops (admin)

Path: Finance → Partner Ops · team/founding/admin role

You do:

  1. Sign in with Finance module access (team, founding, or admin).
  2. Open Finance → Partner Ops — commission tier defaults, partner rows, leaderboard, events.
  3. Set Standard / Pro / Elite default percentages for new partners without redeploying code.
  4. On a partner row: assign tier, set custom % (1–80%), suspend, or activate.
  5. Review Leaderboard for top partners by attributed revenue.
  6. Audit Commission events ledger against Stripe invoice splits and Connect transfers.
  7. Adjust program settings — setup fee amount, terms version, min/max commission bounds — and use manual activation for stuck checkout rows when needed.

Result: Platform operators govern the partner program economically — tiers, overrides, ledger truth, and recovery for failed onboarding — without code deploys for percentage changes.
