How to become a Frappe Partner
New applicants begin with Beginner status and work towards Bronze, the first tier eligible for official Frappe Partner listing. Entry and Emerging are closed to new applicants. Here are the steps to apply:
- Registered Entity: You need to own an IT services business verifiable via a website and if required, some additional company proofs verifying the registered company address.
- Certifications: You must have at least two full-time team members who are certified in ERPNext or the Frappe Framework. Certifications can be earned through Frappe School. Only complete ERPNext and Frappe Framework certifications count. Single-module or associate-level certificates are not eligible.
- Early success: You should already have Frappe customers amounting to at least $100 per month on Frappe Cloud
Once you’re done with all these, you can accept the partnership agreement and submit your partnership request. Frappe will review and approve your partnership application. Once approved, you receive Beginner status. Beginners in the $100–$750 MRR range receive a Beginner tag, but no public partner listing and no permission to use the Frappe logo or authorised Frappe Partner symbol. Official listing starts at Bronze after all Bronze criteria are met. See the Guide for Beginners and Reaching Bronze Tier.
Step 1: Enrol for Partner Program
Step 2: Complete the guided flow to confirm that you meet the eligibility criteria
Step 3: Once approved, you receive Beginner status while working towards Bronze eligibility
Existing Entry and Emerging partners will have their current status honoured until 31 March 2027. These tiers are closed to new partners. Official partner listing for new partners starts at Bronze, subject to meeting the Bronze eligibility criteria.
FAQs
- Do I have to pay any annual partnership fee?
- There is no annual partnership fee. We removed the annual partnership fee of $1450 to make the partnership more accessible
- Can I list my company in multiple countries?
- Partnership listing for multiple countries is only possible if you have a registered company and you have at least 3 active customers in each country
Change history
Documentation updated: 2 November 2026. Entry and Emerging are no longer available to new partners. New participants with $100–$750 in monthly recurring revenue (MRR) on Frappe Cloud are identified as Beginners while they work towards Bronze eligibility. Beginner status provides a Beginner tag only, with no public partner listing and no permission to use the Frappe logo or authorised Frappe Partner symbol. Reaching $750 MRR does not automatically grant Bronze status; the other Bronze criteria must also be met. Existing Entry and Emerging status will be honoured until 31 March 2027.
Why this changed: Customers may interpret a public partner listing or partner branding as Frappe's endorsement of implementation quality. Separating Beginners from authorised partners protects that trust while allowing new companies to build experience and work towards Bronze. The change was confirmed as approved on 24 September 2026, and communication to existing partners with the final transition deadline was confirmed on 1 October 2026.
