The relationship
The job is events into journeys, or a listing next to Shopify. We open with that and shared brands.
How to partner with Attentive
Attentive is a Commerce platform. SMS that a lot of DTC brands already treat as a revenue channel. A technology partnership here is not a logo on a partners page. It is a named owner, a commercial motion a seller can explain, and a plugin, API, or workflow a customer can run. Merchants live in the store. A technology partnership here is an app they can install, a webhook they can trust, and a listing they can find. Distribution is the store’s marketplace, not your blog.
PartnerMatch would open this the same way we open every book: named overlap, a one-pager, then a scope. Read the developer docs before the first call. Use the relationship method if you want the order on one page.
Commercial motion that actually runs
App listing first. Referral from agencies and other apps. Plus or Enterprise co-sell after you have merchant proof. If Attentive has a take rate on a store, model it before you price the listing. A referral is the right first move for most B2B SaaS teams. Co-sell waits for a seller on their side who will attach you to a live deal.
What to ship first
Events API, webhooks, sign-up units. We keep consent as a hard constraint.
One merchant job: catalog, orders, checkout, or support. Pass app review. Then deepen. Put the listing, the help article, and the seller sentence on the same checklist as auth. A connector nobody can find is not a partnership.
How this usually fails
Promising a Plus co-sell before the app is live. Building every object in v1. Ignoring review as a project with a date. On Attentive specifically: arriving without a workflow, asking for co-sell before anything is installed, and treating Attentive partners and integrations.
Aspiring partner managers: the Academy lessons platform programs, marketplace listings, and scoping for non-engineers are the class. Companies that want the channel built book a Partner Audit.
The integration
Events API, webhooks, sign-up units. We keep consent as a hard constraint.
What to connect first
- Events and user identifiers
