Why to Buy?
The Chanimal Partner Portal PRM
Five Reasons to Consider…
1) First Commercial PRM Built with WordPress
Unlike most PRMs that started with “Hello World,” Chanimal was built with WordPress–a world-class, open-source, Content Management System (CMS) with over 76% market share, used to power over 800 million websites with over 60,000 available plug-ins. First launched in 2013, now on its 73 revision.
WordPress advantages include…
World-Class Content Management System (CMS)
It is designed for multiple users to add content. Most pages are as easy to edit as MS Word.
Quick to Add Features
Other PRMs take months to add minor functionality. With over 60,000 available plug-ins, Chanimal could add more advanced world-class features in weeks–faster, better, and much less costly.
Intuitive Partner Portal PRM Interface
With only a short tutorial video, you are completely up to speed. The PRM is easy to use with no coding or HTML needed.
Redundant Triple Navigation
It uses Top, Side, and Breadcrumb navigation with “buckets” of content. It is ridiculously easy for partners to find what they need.
100% Customizable
Unlike most PRMs that cannot match the look of your brand, the Chanimal Partner Portal is extremely easy to match your brand. You have total control of the colors, fonts, graphics and layout.
Responsive – Mobile PRM
Your PRM adjusts to all browsers on your desktop, tablet, or phone.
Inherits Valuable Features
It inherits WordPress access control, one of the world’s most preferred blogs, a media library, drag and drop interface with formatting, and multilingual support. Plus, it is open-source and infinitely scalable for small or large companies.
Community
There are thousands of WordPress support groups offering faq, support, tips, and advice—for free.
2) FASTEST to Set Up & Easiest to Use… Really!
Unlike most PRMs that can take weeks, or even months to set up, and have complicated interfaces, the Chanimal Partner Portal – PRM is quick and easy!
Super Fast Setup
It takes about 10 minutes to clone the portal, and two hours to customize (logo, colors, fonts, address, phone, primary contacts)—it is all done for you. Then an hour or so to hook up the Chat, Partner locator, Captia, etc.
We then go page by page to edit the agreements, the policies, all the systems and proof the site—and you have a world-class partner program and portal in record time–ready to load with content.
Familiar Interface
You start with a WordPress interface that is known by hundreds of thousands of WordPress users (think Word—not much to learn if you already use it). Plus, it includes a triple navigation menu system that has been usability tested to death. It is near impossible for partners to NOT find the content they need.
One-on-one Training
Includes detailed one-on-one personal training sessions on all the core systems, plus dozens of videos, templates, and instructions on how to add a partner, set up a course, add to the partner locator, follow up with partners, and more.
3) The “RIGHT” Feature Mix
The Chanimal Portal is all-inclusive and is not segmented (by features, partner type, or # of partners) to upsell the next level. Instead, it includes EVERYTHING needed to set up & manage a new world-class partner program.
It’s been called the “Quickbooks of PRMs” because it is not for Enterprise… it has the exact features needed for a new partner program.
Major PRM features include…
- Secure Partner Portal
- Content Management System (CMS)
- Resource Library
- Co-branded collateral

4) The MOST Integrations
Unlike most PRMs that only integrate with a few CRMs or Marketing Automation systems (Salesforce, Zoho, or Hubspot), the Chanimal Partner Portal – PRM integrates with over 300 systems—or thousands more if you include Zapier (but it has added costs). Click HERE for a detailed list.
- Salesforce
- Zoho
- Keap
- MS Dynamics
- Insightly
- Huspot
- MailChimp
- Constant Contact
- Google Sheets
- PayPal
- WooCommerce
- Zapier
Save Weeks to Months of Time
Most of this is an inherited advantage of using WordPress. Most of these integrations are built into the plugins, and many are included (as part of the developer license), but others can be added in minutes for super cheap (often $59-$99), often reducing months and thousands in integration costs.
5) The ONLY “Partner Program-in-a-Box” ™
Unlike most PRMs, which are often just an empty shell, and you have to include all your own content, the Chanimal Partner Portal – PRM includes everything needed to set up and run a channel program—including a LOT of world-class, proven content used to build some of the world’s best partner programs.

Why set up a partner program if you don’t know how to run it?
Plus, the Price Performance LEADER
The Chanimal Partner Portal is the undisputed price performance leader.
PRM’s with similar features range from $24,000 to $60,000 per year. Plus setup (up to 30 days just to personalize the interface) with integration can range from $10,000 to $30,000.
Most only integrate with a few CRMs and cost extra in cost and delay to integrate with your systems. In addition, some PRMs charge more per partner, per partner agreement, or for additional costly add-ons.
A Fraction of The Cost of Other Partner Portal PRM
The Chanimal Portal costs a fraction of the amount of a traditional PRM, is a one-time expense, and includes unlimited partners of all types (resellers, referral, OEM, alliances). All the updates for the main system are included and automatic, and up to 10 hours of setup and support are included.
