# 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.

* **Agreements and settlements**: After forming a partnership, a Reseller and Merchant can establish a business agreement (optionally including a settlement model). Choose from revenue share and flat fee settlement types. Quantity entitlement type is also available for flat fee settlements of licensed products.

* **Dashboard**: High-level activity data and performance KPI results about agreements, partnerships, account performance, Merchant-managed subscriptions, Platform-managed subscriptions, and newly onboarded Merchants.

* **Reports**: Track and resolve differences in subscription data and settle payments. Get insight into subscription results. View daily reports on subscription changes, Partner subscription changes, Merchant-managed transactions, and successful and failed account validations for customer eligibility. See last month's report of active subscriptions and accounts with active subscriptions (by tier).

* **Platform settings**: Easily configure various back-end settings for integration. Create an API key, configure SFTP settings, add a health check endpoint, add gateway adapter endpoints, register for webhook events, configure the short provisioning service, and add activation reminder schedules, among other settings.

* **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.

* **External user authentication**: Organizations can use their own external identity providers (IdPs) for user authentication. Users can leverage the same credentials that they already use for the external IdP.
