# Partner program

_The partner program_ is a program where a partner company resells Yandex Cloud services and earns a partner [bonus](#premium).

Partners pay for the services consumed by their customers. Under the partner 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 (postpayment). They can also use a [billing threshold](../../billing/concepts/billing-threshold.md).

Program participants:

* Partner: Business  which 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 [Partner program tools](var-tools.md).

## Bonus for participating in the program {#premium}
