Overview

This article explains how Deel partners can access and use the Partner Portal to manage referrals, track client and contract activity, and monitor key metrics. The Portal is available to approved Deel partners — including resellers, referral partners, and accounting firms — and supports three types of client relationships: Referral, Child organization, and Partner organization.

Before you begin

You must be:

An approved Deel partner with Partner Portal access enabled by the Deel Partnerships team
Logged in to your Deel account with the organization that has Partner Portal access

Getting started with the Partner Portal

Step 1 – Access the Partner Portal

Select your profile avatar in the upper-right corner of the top navigation bar to open the account menu.
Select Partner Portal from the menu.

If the Partner Portal option is not visible, your access may not be enabled yet. Contact your Deel representative to request access.

Step 2 – Navigate the Portal features

Submit referrals and create child organizations directly from the Portal.
Track referrals, revenue, and partner and child organization data — revenue figures update roughly once every 24 hours.
Book meetings with your partner manager and access support tools and feedback forms.

Step 3 – Choose the correct relationship type for each client

Use Referral when introducing a potential client and allowing Deel to handle onboarding and account management. Available to referral and revenue share partners.
Use Child organization when creating a standalone client account with full visibility and control under a white-label structure. Available to white-label resellers.
Use Partner organization when supporting an existing Deel customer who grants your team limited access via the Portal. Ideal for accounting firms and resellers.

Step 4 – Return to your main Deel account

Use the same profile avatar menu to return from the Partner Portal to your main Deel account.

Select your profile avatar in the upper-right corner of the top navigation bar to open the account menu.
Select Client App from the menu.

Expected result: The Home dashboard for your main organization loads.

Frequently asked questions

How are partner referral rewards determined?

Rewards are defined on a case-by-case basis as part of your partnership contract with Deel. Contact your Deel representative for questions about eligibility or agreement terms.

What is the difference between a Child organization and a Partner organization?

A Child organization is created through the Portal and inherits your white-label settings — your team has full administrative access by default. A Partner organization is an existing Deel customer that grants your team limited access; visibility and permissions are determined by what the client provides.

How current is the revenue data in the Portal?

Revenue figures update about once a day, so a recent change may take up to 24 hours to appear. Referral and client status updates are not affected by this delay.

Who do I contact if I have questions?

Your dedicated Deel Partnership Manager is listed on your dashboard home page. You can email them, call, or select Book a call to schedule time directly from the dashboard. If you don't see a Partnership Manager listed, contact Deel Support to confirm your partner account is set up correctly.
