Why become a partner?

  • Courtesy plan

    The Standard plan on the Creator tier and Pro on Partner, at no cost while the partnership is active. The same infrastructure customers use: you deploy and scale from the dashboard. Renewed every six months, always reviewed by a person.

  • Promotion

    Your content about Square gets reposted on the official profiles. From the Partner tier, you're featured in the monthly email to our user base and Cubic, Square's AI, recommends your tutorials. Reach: a base of 500,000+ developers.

  • Early access

    You get the changelog before release, and Partners may be invited to test beta features and receive roadmap information before everyone else. All of it with an official tag in the dashboard and a role on the community Discord.

Who it's for

You only need to meet one eligibility threshold. The numbers below are the Creator tier's thresholds; Partner and Ambassador are in the comparison further down.

Apply

Common requirement: at least half of your content from the last 90 days about programming, bots, tech or infrastructure, no active strikes on the platforms, and one account per partner, linked to Discord.

Three tiers, one clear bar

Creator and Partner accept applications. Ambassador is invite-only: Square reaches out to those who are already a reference in the niche.

What Square does for you

Being a partner is more than getting the plan. Square puts your content in front of the people already using the platform.

  • Official reposts

    Your content about Square, reposted on the official profiles. From the Partner tier up, all relevant content counts, even when Square isn't the topic.

  • Featured in our email

    Partners appear in the monthly email sent to Square customers. Ambassadors get a dedicated email at launches.

  • Recommended by Cubic

    Cubic, Square's AI, points people to partner tutorials when they ask for help on the topic. From the Partner tier up.

  • Bylined tutorial

    Tutorials with your name in the official documentation. You write in Portuguese and the Square Cloud team translates into the docs' 8 languages. Exclusive to Ambassadors.

    Coming soon
  • Showcase on /partners

  • T-shirts and swag

    Coming soon

You deploy and talk about Square with disclosure. Square promotes you.

Square promotes its most engaged partners to the 500,000+ developers who have used the platform, on the official channels and inside the dashboard.

Rules and transparency

Few rules, all straightforward. No fine print.

  • Disclosure required

    Every piece of content made under the partnership carries #ad or the mention "in partnership with Square Cloud". That goes for videos, posts, streams and servers.

  • Plan tied to your account

    The courtesy plan stays on the approved account. No transfers, no resale and no hosting for third parties.

  • Content in the niche

    At least half of your content from the last 90 days about programming, bots, tech or infrastructure, with no active strikes on the platforms.

  • Renewal every six months, always by a human

    Every six months the partner requests renewal by email, with the period's content. A person reviews it and gives notice before any change. There is never an automatic cutoff.

  • What's not allowed

    Hosting client or third-party projects on the courtesy plan, having more than one account in the program, and publishing without disclosure.

Discord communities

Servers can join the program too. The threshold is by member count, and what counts is real activity, not inflated numbers.

  • Creator
    ≥ 5,000 members with proven activity
  • Partner
    ≥ 25,000 members with proven activity
  • Ambassador
    ≥ 100,000 members or a reference community in the niche

The server's official bot can run on the courtesy plan.

Square partner community seal

From the Partner tier up, the server gets the partner community seal, with a featured spot for Ambassadors.

What counts as proven activity

  • Server with Community enabled
  • Server Insights screenshot showing ≥ 5% weekly communicators
  • Dev, tech or bots as the theme
  • No NSFW content
  • Applicant is the server owner or an admin
