Steps in this chapter (1)
Part A: For partners. What the TroveUniverse Partner Programme is, who can join, how commission and tiers work, and where the programme is described on troveuniverse.com.
The Partner Programme rewards accountants, tax practitioners, consultants and their firms who introduce paying customers to TroveUniverse's apps: BookTrove (bookkeeping), PayTrove (payroll), AuditTrove (audit) and SQMTrove (quality management). It is open to members of professional bodies such as ICAN, ICAB and ANAN, tax practitioners and business advisers. A partner cannot earn commission on their own company.
You earn commission on every payment TroveUniverse receives from a company attributed to you, excluding VAT, for as long as the company keeps paying. You can also be invited into your clients' apps and open them from your partner dashboard.
1.1 Read about the programme on Become a partner
Why
The page explains the four stages (apply, share your code, earn for life, get paid) and shows the tiers in force: the rate for each tier and the 12-month sales it needs. New partners start on the tier marked “New partners start here”. The note under the tiers says how often tiers are reviewed.
Who
Anyone thinking of joining.

How a commission line is worked out
- Base: the invoice amount excluding VAT, after any discount or account credit (the invoice's subtotal). VAT is never included.
- Rate: your tier's rate on the day the money was received. For a bank transfer recorded later, the day it arrived counts. An override rate set by TroveUniverse replaces the tier rate.
- Amount: base × rate, rounded to the nearest kobo (halves away from zero). The rate and tier are stored on the line and never change afterwards.
- One line per paid invoice, written in the same step as the payment, whichever way it was paid (card, bank transfer, direct debit).
- Nothing is earned while the programme is switched off, while your partnership is pending, suspended or ended, on a complimentary, revoked or cancelled subscription, on a closed company, or when nothing was paid after credits.
