Features: Rapid sales and recurring revenue can be achieved by utilizing the "GMO AppCapsule" brand
There are no quotas or fixed costs, and after signing an agency contract, you can start selling and providing "GMO AppCapsule" to your clients the same day. Because the service is designed to have a high retention rate, allowing you to create and operate store apps that act as a point of contact between users and stores (clients), partners can expect to earn a continuous margin.
Partners can also make proposals to clients using all of GMO TECH's sales support tools, such as pamphlets, premium goods, terms of use, and contract tools. For more information, please contact us using the email form at the URL above.
*The sales price of "GMO AppCapsule" will be based on our company's price.
■ "OEM Partner Program" URL: https://appcapsule.com/oem/
Features: Utilizing the functions of "GMO AppCapusule" to create your own products
We offer our partners the "GMO AppCapsule OEM Edition," which allows them to customize "GMO AppCapsule" with their own service name and logo and sell it as their own product, with no quotas or fixed costs. This can be used to launch your own brand or to expand the services of an existing brand, and partners can also determine the sales price, allowing them to earn high profits.
By providing our partners with their own brand name and logo data in advance, they can issue their own branded ASP management screen approximately one week after signing the contract.
Furthermore, because it is an API service, new features and system updates are automatically applied without any additional costs. For more information, please contact us using the email form at the URL above.
