# Partner Ecosystem Management Merchant Onboarding Guide Introduction

MarketONE is a suite of capabilities that addresses every aspect of a value-added subscription business, spanning partnership management, commerce, and the end user storefront. Through the Partner Ecosystem Management component, MarketONE offers services specific to Merchants to help them manage partnerships and distribute their subscription products and services to the Resellers' (Service Providers') end customers.

## Who Is MarketONE's Partner Ecosystem Management For?​​

MarketONE's Partner Ecosystem Management is for Merchant and Reseller (Service Provider) organizations that want to partner to resell or integrate services. After a partnership is made in Partner Ecosystem Management, the Reseller (Service Provider) can send the Merchant agreement requests to resell their products or provide billing as a payment option for their products.

Partner Ecosystem Management gives you the opportunity to increase revenue through partnerships in a minimum amount of steps. Access a ready-made ecosystem of Resellers (Service Providers), immensely reducing operation and integration costs. Scale new partnerships and agreements to sell products quickly. Evolve your standalone products and services into valuable bundles through the Reseller's (Service Provider's) offer catalog, encouraging customers to keep them forever. Go beyond traditional payment methods (such as credit or debit cards) with a Reseller's (Service Provider's) billing platform. Their billing platform gives customers the option of paying with another method, such as [statement billing](g_statementBilling). For more information, see [Partner Ecosystem Management Advantages](merchantOnboardingBenefits).
