Cleaner ownership
Clients have their own account and payment history, not a seat on an agency’s private subscription.
The GR Widget partner programme
Build it for your clients.Let them own it.
Keep working together. Build the review display as part of your next website project. When the setup is ready, invite your client to take ownership and pay GR Widget directly. With their permission, you can remain a manager to keep it up to date.
For web designers, developers and consultants
Why web professionals choose
Why web professionals choose
client-owned billing.
You build something good for your client. They own it, they pay for it, and you are not stuck in the middle of a subscription.
Less admin
You don’t need to collect and forward GR Widget subscription fees.
A professional handover
Clear owner and manager roles, and a documented transition instead of a shared password.
Keep your service revenue
You decide what to charge for site build, design, and ongoing support. That fee is yours, not GR Widget’s.
How handover works
From your build
From your build
to their account.
Apply once, then we arrange each handover with you and your client. There is no self-serve “transfer this widget” button, so every handover is set up properly, with no shared passwords.
- 1
Build
Choose the client’s authorised business listing, design, and website placement.
- 2
Invite
Send a secure handover invitation to the client’s verified email. No shared passwords. The invitation is time-limited, and no subscription is moved in the background.
- 3
Client accepts
They decide whether to claim ownership and select billing. No automatic trial or charge. They pay GR Widget from their own account, with Credit/Debit Card or PayPal, the same way any customer does.
- 4
Stay involved if invited
Manage widget settings with explicit permissions. The client can revoke access. You never see their card, and you cannot cancel or change their subscription.
- 5
Earn on real paying customers
Approved partner commissions begin only when an eligible client subscription pays successfully, under formal partner terms. Terms are supplied to approved participants. Your own design or care fee is billed by you, not by GR Widget.
Who does what
Clear roles.
Clear roles.
No back doors.
The client is the owner. You are a manager only if they invite you, and a manager never gets billing or owner permissions.
An Agency subscription is not reused as the client’s plan, and a partner’s existing PayPal subscription is not moved onto the client.

PARTNER FAQS
Ownership, access and billing
Who pays, who owns the account, and what a manager can and cannot do.
Ask us a questionMust I have an Agency subscription to become a partner?
No. Agency is for firms that want one central bill and seats inside their own account. Partnership is for work the client will own and pay for. Read the Agency page if the central bill is what you want.
Who pays?
The client pays GR Widget in their own account after explicit acceptance and plan selection, with Credit/Debit Card or PayPal. The partner charges its own service fee separately.
Can clients remove partner access?
Yes. Manager access is optional. When they remove you, you lose that account. You do not keep a back door to their widgets or their payment method. Revocation is built in, not an optional extra.
Can I change clients’ cards or cancel their subscription?
No. A manager role must not have billing or owner permissions. Card details, PayPal billing changes, cancellation, and plan changes stay with the client.
What if a client declines the invite?
No transfer, automatic subscription, billing, or reward. They can ignore the invitation. You keep whatever you built in your own account.
What if I want one consolidated invoice for all customers?
Choose the Agency plan.
Does GR Widget hand over an existing PayPal subscription?
No. We will not move a PayPal billing agreement from your account to theirs. Any eligible client billing agreement must be newly authorised by the paying client.
Is automatic ownership transfer live?
Not as a self-serve button. Once you are approved, we arrange each handover with you and your client, so ownership and billing move over properly.
