The commercial mechanics.
Why this page exists. The Partner Network overview is the place to learn who can partner and what partners do. This page is the place to learn the numbers — visible publicly, but one click deeper so the negotiation isn’t happening on the front door.
Four Tiers. One Ladder.

One Pool. Deployed Your Way.
The Pool % is identical across all partner types at any given tier. What varies is how you deploy it — and in which direction cash flows.
| Pool Lever | Beneficiary | When It Pays | Applies To |
|---|---|---|---|
| Discount at Billing | Client | Applied at PEGS invoice — PEGS bills less, no cash outflow | SAP / IMP / STP |
| Commission | Partner | Paid within 15 business days of PEGS receiving client payment | SAP / IMP / STP |
| Cashback | Client | Post-payment rebate — PEGS pays the % back to the client | SAP / IMP / STP |
| Platform Fee Discount | Partner (SPP) | Applied at SPP's invoicing time — SPP pays PEGS less | SPP only |
The no-payouts-before-cash rule
Commission and Cashback are gated strictly on cash collection by PEGS. PEGS does not pay any partner from money it has not yet received. This single rule eliminates clawback complexity — partners are paid exactly when PEGS is paid.
SPP worked example — Metal tier
A Metal-tier SPP transacting ₹1 Lakh of business with a PEGS-referred client pays a Platform Fee of 5% × (1 − 10%) = ₹4,500 — compared to ₹5,000 at Colour tier. The higher the tier, the less you pay PEGS for each unit of business.
