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.
Reposts on official social accounts
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 the email to the base
Partners appear in the monthly email sent to Square customers. Ambassadors get a dedicated email at launches.
Cubic recommends your tutorials
Cubic, Square's AI, points people to partner tutorials when they ask for help on the topic. From the Partner tier up.
Bylined tutorial in the docsComing soon
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.
Showcase on /partnersComing soon
Partners are listed on this page. Ambassadors get a featured spot and a published case study.
T-shirts and swagComing soon
Partners get a t-shirt and event invitations. Ambassadors get a yearly kit and the opportunity to speak on behalf of Square Cloud.
You deploy and talk about Square with disclosure. Square promotes you.
Square promotes its most engaged partners to its current base of roughly 500,000 Brazilian developers, on the official channels and inside the platform.
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.
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
Square partner community seal
From the Partner tier up, the server gets the partner community seal, with a featured spot for Ambassadors.
