QCode Partner Program
No servers, no upstream negotiations, no proxy code. One top-up to get started — your own branded API service with 95-75% off wholesale pricing.
// WHY US
The heavy infrastructure is already built — just sell
Upstream pool, billing, domain TLS, global routing, customer stats, branded homepage — the entire stack is done for you.
Custom branded domain
Your customers see api.your-brand.com — no mention of qcode anywhere. One DNS CNAME and TLS is auto-provisioned.
3 protocols, 1 key
Claude Messages / OpenAI Responses / Gemini Generative — one cr_xxx key covers all three. Works with Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and all major SDKs.
5-minute onboarding
Top up + submit your domain → approved (usually same business day) → you immediately get your branded entry point and first batch of API keys, ready to hand out to customers. No KYC, no queue.
Customer self-service stats
Customers visit your-brand.com/stats, enter their key, and see real-time spend, per-model breakdown, and 30-day trends. Fully self-service.
Multilingual SEO homepage
Language auto-locked by region (Asia=Chinese / Americas=English / Europe=English+Russian). SEO meta, canonical, OG all configured. Customize name/tagline/pricing/contact/analytics in the dashboard.
Full self-service management
In the QCode partner dashboard you can see live balance, create/toggle API keys, adjust quotas, view full ledger, and configure branding + analytics — all self-service, no need to contact support.
// TIER & PRICING
5 tiers — wholesale discount by top-up amount
First top-up locks your tier discount, maintained across renewals. Also supports USD top-ups (no FX conversion needed for overseas partners — equivalent rate applied automatically).
| Tier | Min. (CNY) | Min. (USD) | Discount | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A Premium | ¥20,000 | $2,857 | 25% off | Established partners with stable monthly volume |
| B Advanced | ¥10,000 | $1,428 | 20% off | Mid-size partners with channel resources |
| C Pro | ¥7,500 | $1,071 | 15% off | Stable small-to-mid partners / internal team use |
| D Standard Recommended | ¥5,000 | $714 | 10% off | First-time partners testing the market |
| E Starter | ¥3,000 | $428 | 5% off | Trial / single-customer / internal team use |
Multiplier = discount rate: Tier A 0.75x means upstream $1 cost only deducts $0.75 from your quota. Monthly statements are auto-generated — clear and transparent.
// ONBOARDING
4 steps to launch
The whole process typically takes under 5 minutes. No customer data required, no legal process.
Calculate & top up
Use the cost calculator below to figure out the total you need to top up (partner principal + 8% partnership fee), then top up your QCode balance on the billing page. 100% of the principal goes into your partner quota for future token consumption — only 8% is the partnership fee.
Submit application
Once your top-up clears, gather the few required fields from the "How to apply" section below and email business.
See email template →Review & activate
Once approved (usually same business day), we prepare your branded entry point and first batch of API keys. You can hand them out to customers immediately.
Go live
Your domain CNAME takes effect immediately. In the partner dashboard's branding section, configure name / tagline / contact / pricing; if homepage is enabled, changes refresh in real time with no redeploy.
// COST CALCULATOR
Cost calculator
Pick a tier, decide on the homepage — see exactly how much to top up. Top up before applying so we can activate immediately.
⚠
You can top up more than the tier minimum — the excess goes into your quota at the same discount.
Higher tiers (A→E) get bigger discounts — same principal turns into more upstream USD-quota that your customers can spend on API calls.
