Selling SmartPLS as a Reseller

We work with resellers in many countries. Resellers help universities, research institutions and companies that need to buy software from a local supplier, in their own currency or through their own procurement process.

Who can become a reseller

We work with resellers who actively sell SmartPLS:
  • You sell actively. You approach customers yourself and support them through their procurement process.
  • You are connected. You already have contacts in your target group, for example universities, research institutions or companies in your country.
  • Ideally, you are a registered company with your own website. Individuals with a strong network can apply too; we decide case by case.
We do not work with sellers who only list SmartPLS on their website or on online marketplaces such as eBay, Amazon or Shopee and wait for customers. Customers can already buy from us directly.

Becoming a reseller

Email our sales team with:
  • your full name or company name and your address
  • your website, if you have one
  • how you reach your customers and which contacts you already have
  • the customers and regions you serve, for example universities in your country
  • a contact person for orders and invoices
We reply with our reseller agreement and the next steps. There is nothing to sign: you accept the agreement with your first order. There is no fee to become a reseller.

Reseller conditions

Your reseller conditions, including the discount, are part of the reseller agreement we send you.

Licenses you can sell

You can sell these SmartPLS licenses:
  • Seat licenses, fixed to one computer each
  • Floating licenses, shared by several users through a license server
Both are available with commercial or academic pricing, and as one-month, one-year or perpetual licenses. Academic pricing applies only when the end customer meets the same requirements for academic use as for a direct order. The pricing page shows the current licenses and list prices.

Quotes for your customers

Many institutions need a quote before they can order. Email us the license type, the number of users, the term and the end customer, and we send you a quote in your company's name, which you can pass on to your customer.

Placing an order

  1. Email us your order, including the end customer.
  2. We create the order with your reseller conditions.
  3. You receive a payment link and an invoice. Pay online, for example by credit card, PayPal, Alipay or Google Pay, or pay the invoice by bank transfer.
  4. Once your payment is confirmed, you receive the license key by email.
  5. Forward the license key to your end customer.
  6. Your end customer downloads and installs SmartPLS and activates the license key.
