Use case for the Partner Application

The Partner Application is used as a public facing form that allows prospective partners to apply to your partner program directly from your Marketplace. You can configure the form to include custom fields to qualify a prospect applying to your partner program. After the prospective partner submits their application an admin will need to review, and if approved, the partner is able to create an account and manage their listing in a few easy steps.

3. A couple best practices for getting this form in front of your audience is to have it displayed on your Marketplace, either as a CTA button or having a "Become a Partner" card.

Here's an example from Salesloft. They have their Partner Application behind a "Become a Partner" CTA button in their homepage banner.
