Last Friday I did an updated review of Webgility in a Software Second Look. As with my early on review of Webgility's ECommerce platform, I also did a much earlier Advisor Alliance of their partner program offering. But you might imagine that things have changed there as well over the years. Back in 2014 when I wrote my review they offered what they called an 'affiliate program' that provided affiliates with a discount for clients plus a small commission for the advisor. They gave affiliates a free-trial of the software and access to the documentation, but there was no formal training or certification. But things are much different now.

Things have changed a lot, and you might have guessed that just by comparing the old 'affiliate' name with the 'Certified Partner' name in the description to this article. Now there is the Webgility Certified Partner Program which is designed to help you target customers in ECommerce, Retail and the small to mid-size business sector and assist to them in automating their processes whether they are using shopping carts or marketplaces when it comes to managing their sales, accounting, inventory and shipping.
As part of this 'free' program you will receive the training you need to not only work with clients but to work with the Webgility software. That means you will have access to your own Webgility sandbox accounts, along with training videos and materials. You will also have a designated Account Manager who will kick off your relationship in an initial 30-minute teleconference to get your started right.
The aim of the training materials and video content, which should take you about 3 hours to complete, is to prepare you for certification. Upon completion of your certification you will be listed on the Webgility Certified Partners web page. You will then have access to co-marketing opportunities such as blog posts, emails and webinars.
As a Webgility Certified Partner you are really a reseller of the Wegbility ECommerce platform and you will receive a revenue share of 20% for the life of the customer contract, unless the customer cancels within the first 30-days of their contract initiation.
