Pax8
Pax8 Voyager Alliance

At Pax8, we’ve always believed in the power of listening. Since our launch in 2012, we’ve built a unified platform with consolidated invoicing and exceptional support—all at no extra cost. And by listening closely to your feedback, we’ve shaped an even better product—one that’s as dynamic and unique as you.

Introducing Pax8 Voyager Alliance—a partner program built to fuel your success and grow with your ambitions. Unlike one-size-fits-all models, this program offers a scalable, strategic path to growth and retention, with tailored tiers delivering personalized enablement, education, and support. No matter where you are on your business journey, Pax8 Voyager Alliance ensures your success at every stage, whether you’re innovating, connecting, or exploring new possibilities, we empower you to focus on what truly matters while we help you reach your full potential.

Exactly what you need. Exactly when you need it.

By implementing a tiered system, we’re unlocking enhanced levels of service tailored to your specific needs and investment. This means that whether you’re a small business or a growing company, you’ll receive the support and benefits that are designed to grow with you.

“This positive move ensures a fair and equitable experience for all Pax8 partners. It guarantees that they receive the support they need, regardless of their engagement level. This represents our unwavering commitment to our partner’s success and enables us to demonstrate the value-add Pax8 brings to their business.” — Craig Donovan, Chief Experience Officer, Pax8

How it works

You will be assigned to one of five distinct tiers within Pax8 Voyager Alliance based on your current spend with Pax8, including both subscriptions and arrears services. Each tier offers a tailored range of benefits designed to enhance your experience and drive your success, ensuring that the support and services you receive align with the size and complexity of your business.

The program includes four partner tiers – Ignite, Velocity, Titan, and Galactic – as well as a fifth “membership” tier called the Alliance Member. Alliance Members are required to pay a Marketplace fee, granting them access to the Marketplace of the future and other exciting benefits of the Pax8 Voyager Alliance.

*For more information on the Marketplace fee, please review our pricing and currency chart.

Please note: The tiering model is based on monthly recurring revenue (MRR) and will be applied in the correct currency by location.

While access to these benefits may be included in your membership, additional fees could apply for certain services.

Here’s what you can expect from the new tiers

The Voyager Alliance experience

For our existing, transacting partners, your tier will be determined by the trailing three months of recurring subscription and arrears purchases. On November 4th, you’ll be able to view your tier and its details in the Pax8 Voyager Alliance tab in your Marketplace Partner Profile. Only partner admins and primary admins will have access to the total purchase amount.

New partners will start in the launch tier and undergo a 90-day evaluation period, after which they’ll be assigned a level based on purchases made during that time. Partners will retain the perks of the highest level achieved throughout the calendar year.

As part of this launch, several updates will go live in November. To offset credit card fees in the Americas, we will implement a surcharge. For Alliance Members in the first tier, where spending doesn’t fully cover the cost of the experience we deliver, a small fee—similar to the price of a Netflix subscription—will ensure we continue providing a world-class experience.

These changes align with industry best practices and enable us to invest further in new programs, technology, and services. By doing so, we can continue to elevate the Pax8 experience and set new standards that surprise and delight our partners.

A commitment to your success

This transformative shift is more than just an update—it’s a reflection of our commitment to our partners. Pax8 Voyager Alliance marks the beginning of a new era, unlocking unparalleled rewards, exclusive incentives, and opportunities designed to elevate your business to new heights. Over the coming months, we will continue to layer in additional values and exciting new initiatives. We’re excited to take this step with you all as we deliver game-changing innovation to the entire ecosystem. Together, we’re building a future where tomorrow’s innovations empower your success today.
