What Changes Once You're a Partner
The white-label program lets you run ID Card Master under your own brand. This post skips the pitch and goes straight to setup: once your partner application is approved, there are three things to configure before your first sub-vendor logs in.
1. Connect Your Domain
Your partner dashboard gives you a CNAME target to point your domain at — something like cname.idcardmaster.com rather than a raw server IP. Add that CNAME record at your domain registrar (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare — any DNS provider works), then verify it from the partner dashboard.
- Why CNAME and not an IP: if the platform ever moves servers, your DNS record doesn't need to change — only the CNAME target's own record does. Point once, and it stays pointed.
- Propagation: DNS changes can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours to resolve globally. Don't panic if the domain doesn't verify instantly.
- What visitors see: once verified, anyone visiting your domain gets your logo, your colors, and your business name — never any mention of ID Card Master.
2. Create Sub-Vendor Accounts
A sub-vendor is a vendor account that operates entirely under your partner umbrella — they see your brand, not ours, and they draw from credits you allocate. From the Sub-Vendors tab:
- Click Add Sub-Vendor and enter their business details and login email.
- Allocate an initial credit balance, or leave it at zero and top up as they order.
- The sub-vendor logs in through your domain and never sees the parent platform.
This is the structure that lets an agency or a regional master-distributor onboard many smaller print shops under one brand, one billing relationship, and one support line — theirs.
3. Set Your Markup Pricing
Credits are the unit of billing (1 credit = 1 printed card). As a partner, the Pricing tab lets you set the rate you charge your sub-vendors on top of your own cost — your margin. Sub-vendors never see the base platform rate, only the price you've set for them.
Tracking Requests and the Credit Ledger
The Requests inbox is where sub-vendors ask you for more credits; approve or decline from there. The Ledger tab is your running record of every credit movement across every sub-vendor account — useful for reconciling what you've billed against what's actually been consumed.
