Q. If I become a DriveHQ reseller, I will offer the same Cloud services. Won't DriveHQ compete with me?
No, DriveHQ doesn't compete with resellers. In fact, that's why we are partners, not competitors. The cloud service is projected to
grow very fast. There are a lot of cloud service providers. If you enter this market, you will have many competitors. You can either
develop all technologies and launch the service by yourself, this way, you will compete with all other cloud service providers; or you can
partner with DriveHQ. DriveHQ has all the best technologies and infrastructure ready. We can help you launch the service immediately and
at an extremely low cost. Combining DriveHQ's top quality services with your user base / marketing channels, both companies will benefit.
It is possible that a Reseller's service might overlap with DriveHQ's. In this case, the reseller can set his
service price the same or even lower than DriveHQ's. This way, the reseller's service will be more or equally competitive than DriveHQ's.
If a reseller focuses on a few countries, regions, languages (other than USA and English) or any specific vertical markets,
then he will have no competition with DriveHQ at all.

Q. What is the percentage of my revenue share / sales commission?
As a reseller, you get a discount price from DriveHQ, which you can resell to your customers at your own price.
Your revenue share (or commission rate) is the same as the discount rate, assuming you use the same DriveHQ service price.
Dependent on your target market, you can set your price higher or lower than DriveHQ service price. If your price is higher,
then you have a higher gross margin; if you set your price lower than DriveHQ, then you might be able to attract more users.

Q. Can I set my own service pricing on my Reseller Website?
Yes. Resellers can set their own service pricing. If you use the same DriveHQ pricing, then your profit margin is proportional to
the discount rate. For example, if you order Reseller Plan 6, then your discount rate is 45%. Your gross profit margin is almost 82%!
You can set a higher price than DriveHQ. If your customers are high-end customers, then setting a price higher than
DriveHQ service price makes good sense. Otherwise, you can set the price equal to or lower than DriveHQ service price to attract more users.
Q. How to process credit card transactions & billing on my Reseller Website?
Resellers can either process credit card transactions by themselves, or use DriveHQ's transaction & billing system.
If a reseller has
his own transaction and billing system, it is recommended using his own system. In this case, the reseller's customers will pay the reseller directly.
The reseller can then process the orders / payments on the reseller website for the customers. In doing so,
the reseller only needs to pay the discounted reseller price to DriveHQ.
If a reseller doesn't have his own transaction and billing system, then he can use DriveHQ's transaction and billing system. The reseller's customers can
pay the listed service price; the payments will be received by DriveHQ. DriveHQ will only charge the discounted reseller price; the remaining amount will be
credited to the reseller.
A reseller can open its own merchant account; or use PayPal for payment transactions and billing. Some countries might have
their own payment processing systems. In this case, you can use your own local payment processing system.
Q. How can I set my own product / service price?
Log on your reseller website with your DriveHQ username / password; then click Product / Service Price on the left pane,
you will see the product / service price table and your discount rate. You can set your own price for each service and then click Submit.
Your price should not be less than the Reseller's Discount Price (which can be calculated with the original price and your discount rate.)
Your service price minus your discount price is the gross profit you can earn from the service.
Q. How can I check my transaction history and service commissions?
Log on your reseller website with your DriveHQ username / password, then click on Site Admin or Setup Wizard,
then click on Commissions. In the Commissions page, you can see all transaction records, the profit of each transaction
and current cash balance. If your account balance is positve, you may contact DriveHQ to withdraw the money;
if your account balance is negative, it means you should make a payment (i.e. deposit money) to your DriveHQ account.
