# Partner Ecosystem Management Features

Partner Ecosystem Management offers the following core features:​​​​

* **Platform-managed and Merchant-managed product lifecycles**: Product lifecycles specifically tailored to Resellers and Merchants and their goals. In the Platform-managed product lifecycle, Resellers resell Merchant services through their own digital store. In the Merchant-managed product lifecycle, Merchants use the Reseller's billing as a payment option.

* **Partnerships**: Resellers (Service Providers) and Merchants can efficiently form partnerships to resell or integrate subscription services.

* **Products and product groups**: Merchants showcase their products to Resellers (Service Providers) by adding them to product groups and publishing them. Product groups allow customers to switch between products within the group (for example: upgrading and downgrading).

* **Agreements and settlements**: After forming a partnership, a Reseller and Merchant can establish a business agreement (optionally including a settlement model).

* **Reports**: Track and resolve differences in subscription data and settle payments.

* **Reconciliation**: Efficiently view and resolve differences in subscription data that exist between your system and Partner Ecosystem Management. Gain insight into product sales trends.

* **Platform settings**: Easily configure various back-end settings for integration.  Create API keys, configure your SFTP settings, add health check endpoints, register for webhook events, add redemption URLs, create Reconciliation schedules, and inform Partner Ecosystem Management if you'd like to generate redemption codes for customers.

* **Spend limit for Merchant-managed transactions**: This built-in function prevents high charges from being accrued by a customer based on either fraudulent activity on their account, or through a high number of Merchant purchases.
