Application Form
Tell us about you. Every application is reviewed by ZOSOP. Submitting this form does not create a partner relationship — approval and a written agreement are required first.
Your Information Is Handled Securely
Applications are validated on the server, rate-limited, and delivered over TLS. Your default status is Pending Review — no applicant receives referral access, partner ID, or dashboard access until ZOSOP approves the application.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who can become a referral partner?
Anyone who already works with small businesses — consultants, sales professionals, agencies, and networkers. Every applicant is reviewed by ZOSOP.
Is there a fee to apply?
No. Applying to the ZOSOP Referral Partner Program is free.
Do I need payment-industry experience?
It helps, but it's not required. What matters is your relationship with the merchants you plan to introduce.
Can I refer a merchant that already uses another software company?
Yes. Not every referred business must immediately replace its existing software. ZOSOP may present available options for future transition.
Can I refer a merchant that already has a payment processor?
Yes. Referrals are welcome regardless of the merchant's current processor. Any change is the merchant's decision on their own timeline.
Does every referral qualify for compensation?
No. Compensation depends on the product, merchant qualification, revenue received by ZOSOP, and the terms of the written referral agreement. Compensation is not guaranteed.
When is compensation paid?
Payment timing is defined in the signed referral agreement. It can be one-time, recurring, or unavailable for specific referrals.
Can I hire my own sales team?
Yes, but every sub-referrer must be disclosed and approved. Compliance rules apply to everyone acting under your partner ID.
Can I advertise myself as a ZOSOP employee?
No. Referral partners are independent — never employees, agents, or authorized representatives of ZOSOP or of any payment processor.
Can the program support referrals outside the United States?
Availability depends on the country, product, legal requirements, and ZOSOP's active partner coverage. International referrals require separate confirmation.
