Connect-and-resell

Cavaridge™ MSPs can resell platform products to their client tenants via Stripe Connect with the platform’s billing catalog as the source of truth. This guide covers how to set up a Pax8-compatible reseller arrangement.

Prerequisites

• MSP tenant in good standing (not on Trial; Pro or Team).
• Stripe account verified for Stripe Connect (Standard accounts).
• Cavaridge AI gateway access (used for resold products’ LLM calls — billed back through the MSP).

What “resell” means here

• Customer of record is the client tenant (the MSP’s customer).
• Charge flows through the MSP’s Stripe account (Connect Standard).
• Cavaridge™ takes a wholesale cut computed from the catalog’s cogs_cents_per_seat_month floor; the MSP keeps the rest.
• GM-floor (55%) is enforced at the catalog level — an MSP cannot price below floor.

Steps

1. Enable Connect in the MSP tenant’s billing settings → “Become a reseller”.
2. Onboard via Stripe Connect Standard — Cavaridge™ redirects through the standard onboarding flow.
3. Set per-product wholesale margins in tenantConfig.reseller.margin_overrides (must respect floor).
4. Register the client tenant under the MSP via the standard MSP→client onboarding.
5. Issue a subscription to the client at the MSP’s chosen retail price; charges flow MSP → Cavaridge™ → product.

Pax8 integration

The Pax8 partnership lets MSPs pull Cavaridge™ subscriptions through their existing Pax8 marketplace seat. PROD-02 closed the partnership-side configuration. Contact your Cavaridge™ partner manager to enable Pax8 sync on your tenant.

Pitfalls

• Don’t try to set client retail prices outside tenantConfig.reseller — they won’t propagate to Stripe.
• Don’t bypass the GM-floor — the catalog rejects the price; sync to Stripe will fail loudly.
• Don’t change customer-of-record after a subscription is active. Cancel + re-issue.

See billing catalog for the underlying pricing + GM-floor mechanics.
