3. How partners package and sell the products

You have full freedom in how you position and sell the products.

You can:

• Sell as standalone subscriptions under your brand.
• Bundle with your own products or services, for example:
  • Your SaaS platform
  • ISP (internet service) and telecom plans
  • Hosting plans
  • Security or optimization suites
• Choose your own retail pricing.
• Configure license types as you wish.

License configuration options you can choose:

• Duration: monthly subscriptions, annual subscriptions and more
• Devices: from 1 up to 10 devices per license
• Any combination of product, duration, and device count

You own the end customer relationship and you collect 100 percent of the revenue from your users.

 

4. Commercial model and royalties

ShieldApps does not work on revenue share. You keep all revenue from your customers. You pay ShieldApps licensing fees, in two models, depending on your scale.

For small to mid-size partners (typically a few hundred licenses per month)

• You prepay for license blocks.
• You get the exact amount of license keys you paid for.
• You distribute each license to your users as you sell.

Usage tracking:

• You track license distribution on your side.
• Every sale you make requires you to provide a license to the customer.

For larger partners with API access

• You receive API access to generate licenses on demand.
• You can generate, cancel, and extend licenses through the API.
• At the beginning of each month you are invoiced for the licenses used in the previous month, based on ShieldApps internal usage logs.

License flexibility is the same:

• Duration: monthly subscriptions, annual subscriptions and more
• 1 to 10 devices validity per license
• Any configuration you choose

 

Pricing

Exact licensing fee is tailored to each partner per the partner’s activity, scale and needs, and is always provided in a clear written offer.

• Pricing depends on volume, product mix, and contract terms.
• All pricing is included in your individual commercial offer, not in this general document.

5. Branding and white label options

ShieldApps provides full white label products without co branding. The rebranding is all done on ShieldApps’ side as part of the setup work.

You can customize:

• Product name
• Company name shown in the product
• Your logo
• Your color scheme
• All outbound links

All user-facing elements appear under your brand. ShieldApps remains completely seamless to your end users.

 

6. Technical setup and integration

There are two paths, depending on your needs and size.

Standard white label setup (no development required)

For most partners, there is no development work at all.

You only need to provide:

• • Logo files
  • Brand colors
  • Product names
  • Outbound links and URLs
  • Access to your Apple App Store and Google Play developer accounts if applicable
  • Code signing certificate for desktop builds

ShieldApps handles:

• • White label design and build creation for all platforms.
  • Application signing and packaging.
  • Uploading your mobile apps to the App Store and Google Play under your accounts.
  • Providing download links for desktop installers.
  • Ongoing updates and maintenance when required on all supported platforms.

You simply receive ready to sell applications under your brand.

API based integration for larger partners

For partners that need automation at scale, ShieldApps provides an API.

With the API you can:

• • Generate licenses in real time.
  • Cancel existing licenses.
  • Extend license duration.

ShieldApps provides:

• • Full API documentation.
  • Support during integration.

You store the license details in your own systems. ShieldApps bills according to its internal logs of API generated licenses.
