What "Agency Partner" Means

Local Visibility Lab has two kinds of paying customers:

1. Agencies — pay a monthly platform fee to use Local Visibility Lab as their internal client-management tool. They invoice their clients however they want (separately, manually, through their own systems).

2. Agency Partners — the same as above, plus they use Local Visibility Lab's commerce stack to actually sell to and collect from their clients through the platform. They run a storefront, take payments via Stripe Connect, sometimes white-label the app on their own domain, and earn margin per transaction.

This page covers what comes with Partner status, what doesn't, and how the economics work.

What's included with Agency Partner

Storefront

A public, branded buying page at dashboard.localvisibilitylab.io/storefront/your-slug (or, with a custom domain, app.youragency.com). Your clients arrive, browse your services or subscription plans, and check out via Stripe. See Storefront.

Stripe Connect

You connect your own Stripe account. Money goes directly to your bank — the platform takes a small fee on each transaction (configured per Partner) but it's invisible to your customer. See Stripe Connect.

Custom domains

White-label the entire app on a domain you own. Clients see your brand, your colors, your URL. Custom domains are billed separately at a flat monthly fee per domain. See Custom Domains.

Marketplace

List your productized services so other agencies can resell them to their clients. You execute the work; the buying agency keeps a configurable margin; the platform takes a small piece. See Marketplace.

Referral commissions

Bring other agencies onto the platform with a tracked link and earn 5% of their first 12 months of platform subscription. See Referrals.

Profit distribution

If you operate with profit-sharing partners (silent investors, co-founders, key vendors), the platform can auto-split incoming payouts according to a saved schedule. See Profit Distribution.

What's not included

• The platform does not set your prices — you do.
• The platform does not deliver the service — you (or your subcontractors) do.
• The platform does not own your clients — they're yours; the platform is infrastructure.
• The platform does not handle disputes — Stripe and your card-brand do; the platform makes the records available for evidence.

How the money flows (simplified)

Client buys $500/mo plan from your storefront
   ↓
Stripe Checkout (on your connected Stripe account)
   ↓
Stripe routes:
   - $X platform fee → Local Visibility Lab's Stripe account
   - $500 − $X → your Stripe account → your bank
   ↓
Daily/weekly: Stripe deposits into your bank account

The platform fee is set by your Agency Partner agreement (typically a small percentage; ask support if unsure). It's not visible to the client on their receipt.

Eligibility

Agency Partner status is unlocked by:

1. Having your org marked as orgType: 'agency' with the customDomains feature flag enabled — this is not plan-tier-gated. Talk to support to enable it.
2. Connecting a valid Stripe account.
3. (For custom domains) Having a domain or subdomain you control DNS on.
4. Agreeing to the Agency Partner Terms.

If you don't see Storefront / Stripe Connect / Custom Domain in your Settings, your org isn't currently flagged as an Agency Partner. Contact support to enable it.
