VAR program

The VAR (Value Added Reseller) program is a partner program where a partner company resells Yandex Cloud services and earns a partner bonus.

Partners pay for the services consumed by their customers. Under the VAR program, Yandex Cloud invoices a partner for the total consumption of services by all its customers. Partners can settle payment invoices in advance (advance payment) or based on the results of consumption (postpaid model). They can also use a billing threshold.

Program participants:

• Partner: Business that is a resident of the Russian Federation and provides services using Yandex Cloud technologies.
• Customer: Business that purchases Yandex Cloud services from a partner (partner's subaccount).

For more information on the tools offered by the program, see VAR program tools.
