Partner memberships — selling a bundle with another organization

A partner membership lets your org sell a bundle that includes another organization's membership alongside your own — a reciprocal or cross-sell arrangement where one purchase grants membership in more than one org.

Setting up a partnership (Partners tab):
1. To include a partner's membership in a bundle you sell, invite them: enter the partner organization, the tier of theirs you want to include, and the share of each payment they receive.
2. The partner reviews the invitation in their own Partners tab and Accepts before anything can be sold. Only they can agree to include their membership, and either party can end the partnership later.

Building the bundle:
Once a partnership is accepted, build a bundle tier: pick one of your own tiers and check the partner memberships it should also grant. The split is shown as you build it — each partner gets the share they agreed to, and you keep the remainder. The shares must add up correctly before the bundle can go live; you cannot write a partner a share they did not agree to.

How the money moves — stated plainly:
A bundle pays more than one organization, and card networks cannot split a single charge across several accounts. So bundle purchases are charged to Turtini's account first, and each organization's share is then transferred to its own Stripe account — on the first payment and on every renewal. This means Turtini is the merchant of record for bundle sales and briefly holds the funds. Every other sale on Turtini — including your ordinary, non-bundle memberships — is charged directly to your own account and never touches Turtini's.

What Turtini takes:
Turtini takes nothing from the split. Stripe's processing fee comes off the top, and the organizations divide the remainder according to the shares you agreed — on the first payment and every renewal alike.

A few things worth knowing:
- Each org in a bundle must have Stripe connected with payouts enabled before the bundle can be listed or sold — otherwise a share would have nowhere to go.
- A buyer's split is frozen at the moment they buy, so changing or ending a partnership later never alters what an existing member's renewals pay out.
- A bundle grants membership in each partner org, and each partner scans the member at its own door — so the member receives one wallet card per org, each branded by that organization. One subscription, several cards.
