Frequently Asked PRM Price Questions (FAQ)
Is everything included in the PRM Price?
Usually. Chanimal includes the licenses and the integrations for most channel needs (the logins, the affiliate program, LMS, partner locator, etc.). However, some of the requested integrations can be rare (connecting to Capsul, CloseIO, Nutshell vs more popular CRMs like Salesforce, or Zoho) and some vendors don’t even offer a developer option so they can’t be included.
Fortunately, the plugins to make everything work are so affordable (usually less than $100 for a single site license) it has never been an issue—and costs less than the $100-150/hour, $5k – $30k development bill with other PRMs for even a minor change or integration.
How do you offer it for FREE?
The Chanimal Partner Portal was originally created for the Micro Consulting program and was always included for FREE–so there were no IT or cost barriers to setting up a new partner program. This tradition continues for Micro Consulting clients. Click HERE to find out more about the Micro Consulting program.
However, a lot of companies know exactly what they want, they don’t need any help, and so they purchase it directly–and leverage up to 10 hours of included setup and customization.
Are there additional costs?
Sometimes, but it is usually minor. Because the portal runs on WordPress, with a licensed copy of the Chanimal Partner Portal on your server, you may or may not have additional server costs. Most companies can add a new instance of WordPress (free) on their existing web server (installed in a separate directory—takes minutes), or you may choose to host the portal externally with an ISP, in which case you would have an additional monthly hosting expense (recommend Cloudways/Digital Ocean – $14/month).
Most of the features of the portal are covered under a development license via Chanimal. However, you may also opt to add additional features (via plug-ins), or upgrade the existing add-ons to add new capabilities that are not part of your original portal. In this case, you would pay the associated cost. Fortunately, many of the plug-ins are open source, while others have a small cost ($39 – $119)).
What if major features are added later--can I get them?
Yes, as part of an annual maintenance agreement.
All included plugins are updated automatically—incrementally adding new capabilities, refinements, and bug/security fixes. However, because it is not a SaaS installation or off-the-shelf software with an installer, significant new enhancements that never existed previously can’t be added automatically since the PRM sits on your server.
However, you can add a new snapshot of any major new features (like when the affiliate application was added) for an annual maintenance fee. You can always see the updates and decide to add them or skip a year. They are then manually added by the Chanimal team and jointly custom configured. Fortunately, the Chanimal Partner Portal is so mature that most significant features already exist.
Cost: $495 for an annual (365-day) maintenance agreement.
