Partner Programs
Mattermost offers multiple partner programs:
Mattermost Authorized Reseller Program for one-time resale transactions fulfilling customer request to reseller.
Mattermost Value-Added Reseller Programf or on-going resellers providing first and second tier support in local language and local timezone.
Mattermost Deployment Solutions Partner Program for co-marketing relationships with both commercial and open source partners automating the deployment of Mattermost.
The purpose of the Mattermost Authorized Reseller Program is to enable customers to purchase Mattermost Enterprise Edition via a fulfillment partner. The fulfillment partner earns a fee from the customer for reselling Mattermost into their procurement department, and for navigating the various approval processes, but does not provide support or installation services.
Companies who enter into a Mattermost Authorized Reseller agreement typically have existing relationships with customers, and help them procure information technology products.

You'll be in contact with a partner manager via email, or possibly phone, to understand the details of your business and the resale transaction.
Once the resale is approved internally, you will be provided a one-time click-sign authorized reseller agreement to complete, along with purchase order information for your customer.
When ready to place an order, submit a purchase order to [email protected] along with the name, address, and contact information of your customer.

After completion of a partner agreement, partners are invited to send an overview of their services with a logo for inclusion in the Mattermost partner directory.
To get started, please email the following to [email protected]:
Partner Name: Your legal name may be shortened to fit in the directory listing. If you wish you can state your full legal name as part of your partner description.
Partner Contact Information: The best email address (and phone number, if preferred) where you can be reached.
Partner Description: Between 30-100 words describing your business. See examples at https://mattermost.com/partners/.

Logo: At least 200px wide.
If you have joined the Value-Added Reseller program, your reseller territory will appear in the listing as well.
In the partner listing, city locations follow a "concise clarity" principle:
Cities that are not well-known, or which have very similiarly-named cities in the same country, are displayed as CITY, STATE/PROVINCE, COUNTRY.
Well-known and uniquely-named cities, display as CITY, COUNTRY.
For example: A well-known city with a unique name like Johannesburg would be displayed as "Johannesburg, South Africa" and not "Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa", which is unnecessarily long. Similiarly a less well-known city, like "Arvada" is referenced as "Arvada, Colorado, USA".
As a Value-Added Reseller or Deployment Solution Partner, you can request a renewable 1-year E20 license for up to 50 users.
Go to https://www.mattermost.com/trial/ to complete a trial form and enter [RESELLER] after your organization name.
In the “Where are you with Mattermost” section, select Other.
Please send an email to [email protected] letting us know the above have been completed so your application can be reviewed and matched against our certified reseller database.
Please expect delivery in 2-3 business days.
Frequently asked questions from Mattermost partners.
No. Mattermost, Inc. must know all end customers with whom it does business. This is important for Mattermost to be able to service and renew the end customer if the reseller relationship is discontinued. Moreover, Mattermost cannot do business with customers in countries embargoed by the United States, and this must be confirmed in any commercial transaction.
