Managing Partner Sponsorship

Partner sponsorship lets a partner organization sponsor new organizations with free access for a configured duration. New users receive a link such as /auth?sponsored=<token>; when they sign up or sign in, a new sponsored organization is provisioned for them with the configured duration.

Prerequisites

• The workspace must have the partnerSponsorship product flag enabled.
• meinGPT platform support sets the partner envelope (price per seat per month, maximum duration, maximum seats per campaign) directly in the header of the sponsorship settings page. Regular partner admins see the envelope as read-only.
• If the feature is not visible in your workspace yet, the team can enable it on request.

Where to find it

The UI is available in workspace settings at /{organizationId}/settings/sponsorship. The header shows the current billable price and the configured caps. Below that, two primary actions — Invite people and Create sponsored link — and the list of all active / expired sponsored accounts as the main content.

Invite people

The recommended way to distribute sponsorship to specific recipients. Paste a list of email addresses, optionally override language or add a note, review the preview, and send.

• a one-time redeemable personal link is generated per recipient
• we send the invitation by email in the selected language
• if the invite is not redeemed within 3 days we send a reminder, followed by a final one 7 days after that
• already-active members and invalid addresses are skipped at send time and highlighted in the preview

Each invite then shows up in the invitations list with its status (open / failed / revoked). From there you can re-send or revoke individual invites.

Create a sponsored link

For public distribution (conference QR code, newsletter, workshop slide). You get a URL that can be redeemed multiple times.

• optional internal name
• optional password (min. 4 chars)
• optional redemption cap per link

After creation, copy the URL and share it. The link sends users into the normal auth flow and already includes the sponsorship token.

Seat count (includedSeats)

Each sponsored organization receives a fixed seat count (set by the partner envelope). Admins of the sponsored organization will hit that limit when inviting additional users until they free up seats or switch to a paid plan.

Track redemptions and billing status

For each successful redemption, the UI shows when it happened, how long the sponsorship runs, and which billing status is set.

Available billing statuses:

• UNBILLED
• BILLED
• DISPUTED
• WAIVED

These statuses are partner-side bookkeeping only. They do not control whether a user can redeem the sponsorship.

What happens when a sponsorship ends

Sponsored workspaces run with autoRenewal: false. Once sponsoredUntil is reached, the sponsorship ends and access becomes gated accordingly. Organization data is retained. Today there is no automatic downgrade and no automatic grace-period workflow. Admins of the sponsored organization can upgrade to a paid plan to continue access.

Pricing and commercial terms

The price per seat per month is agreed between the partner and meinGPT and then entered by platform support directly in the header of the sponsorship settings page per partner workspace (field partnerSponsorshipPriceEurPerSeatMonth, default 15 EUR). Partners cannot change the price themselves; partners should reach out to their meinGPT contact to adjust it. At redemption time the current price is snapshotted onto the redemption so that later price changes do not affect billing of existing redemptions.

Also set on the partner level (same header area):

• partnerSponsorshipMaxDurationMonths — maximum duration for any campaign the partner creates.
• partnerSponsorshipMaxSeatsPerCampaign — optional cap on includedSeats per campaign. Blank means unlimited.
