# Partner bonus program

#### What is a partner bonus? {#bonus}

A partner bonus is a discount on Yandex Cloud services applied to the payment invoice issued to the Yandex Cloud partner's billing account at the end of month. The service report and invoice issued to the partner show the final amount including the discount.

#### What determines the discount amount, the way it is credited, and how it is calculated? {#discount}

The basic bonus is 20%. When [registering a deal](../program/var-tools.md#deal-reg), you can get up to 15% on top of your partner bonus for as long as the customer remains linked to you.

You can link a customer subaccount to a partner account on the [partner portal](https://partners.yandex.cloud/). Linking a subaccount is required for getting a bonus. You can view such a link on the partner portal, in the partner's Yandex Cloud management console, and in the linked customer's management console.

Linked subaccounts cannot see the partner discount in the management console. Yandex Cloud does not issue separate payment invoices to subaccounts.

For more information about the discount amount, see the [Partner agreement](https://yandex.com/legal/cloud_partnership/en/).

#### What is not included when calculating a partner bonus? {#no-bonus}

The discount does not apply to:

* Partner's own consumption of services in the partner account.
* Consumption of the following services:

  * [Yandex Cloud Marketplace](https://yandex.cloud/en/marketplace)
  * [Yandex StoreDoc](../../storedoc/index.md)
  * [Yandex Cloud Interconnect](../../interconnect/index.md)

* Grants credited to subaccounts.

You can see the absolute and relative discount amount for the reporting month in the **Partner bonus** section of the [partner portal](https://partners.yandex.cloud/).

#### Why are resources from Yandex Cloud Marketplace not included when calculating a partner bonus? {#marketplace}

Yandex Cloud offers Cloud Marketplace services to customers with a minimum margin or with no margin at all. Therefore, we cannot provide any additional discount on Cloud Marketplace products.
