Become a Technology Partner

More than 50,000 entrepreneurs worldwide trust ePages solutions. Technology partners provide connections to third-party systems that are optimally tailored to the ePages product line and that extend the capabilities of ePages.

ePages is one of the leading vendors of e-commerce software and shop software in particular. Our goal is to deliver a state-of-the-art product that allows our customers to have success in e-commerce. We work together with leading technology partners that develop additional features for our shop software and integrate them into our platform. Through the modular structure of the system, ePages can be extended through "cartridges". Continuous extension of the software is a central part of our modular product concept. E-commerce still has great growth potential—the numbers from current studies confirm this convincingly. This sales channel is growing much faster than the traditional retail sector. ePages offers a clearly-structured multi-level partner program with significant advantages to fulfil the demanding requirements of our partners.

Merchant Technology Partnership (MTP)

The Merchant Technology Partnership is designed for companies that want to offer their product or service through the ePages Merchant product line exclusively. The ePages Merchant edition is used by companies with a specific budget, who want an ePages certified agency to assist them with their project. As a result the completed system integration will be made available for all ePages certified implementation partners and their individual projects but not for the mass market solutions available through ePages ISP and Hosting providers. This partnership doesn't involve the ePages development or application management team only the ePages Partner, for the integration project.

Hosting Technology Partnership (HTP)

Those partner applicants offer their product or service to customers of the Merchant line as well as the rental shop or ISP and Hosting Provider line. The HTP partners solution is made available for the ePages Hosting Partners (ISPs) as a charged feature and thereby made available to the mass market via rental web shop solutions. The development and maintenance of the implementation is performed by ePages in this case. Consequently costs incurred are startup costs as well as ongoing yearly fees. For more information see the overview below. The HTP partner will also receive a marketing package.

Advanced Hosting Technology Partnership (Advanced HTP)

The "Advanced HTP" differs from the "HTP" as the partner will become part of the ePages standard package rather than an additional charged-for feature. Accordingly your integration will be made available for all our customers without any additional fee.

(1) The development of the cartridge and functional extensions are assigned to ePages against payment. These costs are not included in the program price. Project management, quality management, creating a handbook article, and localisation in core ePages languages must be performed in addition to cartridge creation. Development by ePages is required, since this is the only way to assure the quality required for large hosting environments.

(2) Standard functionalities are available to our customers without any additional fee.
