The Kantivo Platform has three distinct user types, each with their own portal, capabilities, and purpose. Here's how they work together.
Owns the organization. Manages everything.
Affiliate, Consultant, Enterprise, or Reseller
Direct rep under the organization
Under a specific partner (e.g. Reseller's team)
The business owner who runs the show.
When you sign up for a Kantivo Platform subscription, you become an Organization Administrator (org admin). You're the founder of your organization on the platform — you set up partner programs, manage your team, configure checkout links, and monitor performance.
Org admins don't earn commissions — they pay commissions. Your role is to build and manage the sales network that drives revenue for your business.
Admin Portal — accessible from your organization's admin URL. This is separate from the Partner Portal. You'll log in with the email and password you used when you registered your organization.
Within an organization, admins can have different permission levels:
Earn recurring commissions by referring customers.
A Partner is someone who promotes and sells on behalf of an organization. Partners sign up under a specific organization's partner program and receive a unique referral code to track their sales.
There are four partner types, each with different investment levels, commission rates, and capabilities:
| Partner Type | Investment | Commission | Duration | Approval |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Affiliate | Free | 20% | First year | Auto-approved |
| Consultant | $97/mo | 35% | Lifetime | Requires approval |
| Enterprise | $1,680/yr | 50% | Lifetime | Requires approval |
| Reseller | $11,000 + $63/seat/mo | 70% | Lifetime | Requires approval |
Partner Portal — click the Partner tab on the login page. You'll log in with the email and password you used when you applied for the partner program.
Boots on the ground — make sales, earn commissions.
A Salesperson (also called a Sales Rep) is someone who actively sells on behalf of an organization or a partner. Unlike partners, salespersons are created by an admin or partner — they don't self-signup.
Salespersons can work in two arrangements:
Partner Portal — click the Sales Rep tab on the login page. You'll log in with the credentials provided by your partner or organization admin when they added you.
