15% commission on the first order and 5% on repeat orders for 12 months, with a 45-day cookie and coupon-code attribution.

Who each programme suits
Affiliate

Franchise
Operators who want a city or country to themselves, with a counter, a team and a sub-reseller network. Launch cities are Hyderabad, Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru and Dubai. Franchise programme.
White label and API
OTAs, airlines, banks, neobanks, forex companies, telcos and apps that want eSIMs inside their own product under their own brand. White label and API.

How our terms compare with other eSIM partner programmes
We checked the partner pages of eight competitors in October 2026. Two publish an affiliate rate. None publishes reseller or franchise terms.
Partner programme terms published by each company, observed October 2026
Competitor terms are what each company published on its own website when we checked in October 2026. "Not published" means the company describes a programme but gives no numbers. Terms change; check the source before relying on them.
Rules and payouts in brief
- Partners sell at the published retail price or lower, never higher. Discount codes are capped at 10% unless we run a wider promotion.
- Affiliate commission is confirmed after the 30-day refund window closes and paid in the following monthly cycle.
- Reseller and franchise margins are applied at the moment of issuance, so there is nothing to claim later.
- Brand bidding on "Universal eSIMs" and misspellings in paid search is not allowed for affiliates. Resellers and franchisees may run local ads under the co-op rules in their agreement.
- Self-referrals, incentivised clicks and bulk coupon posting without content are excluded from commission.
- Partners must not collect customer passport or ID data unless selling a physical SIM under KYC rules, in which case our KYC flow is used.
Partner programme questions
Which Universal eSIMs partner programme should I choose?
Pick by how you reach customers. If you publish content or have an audience, the affiliate programme pays 15% on first orders with no wallet. If you serve customers face to face or on WhatsApp, the reseller programme pays a 25% to 35% margin from a prepaid wallet. If you want an exclusive city or country, the franchise pays 35% to 40% plus a 5% override for a ₹2 lakh to ₹5 lakh setup fee. Platforms with their own checkout should use the white-label store or API.
Is there a joining fee?
No joining fee for affiliates or resellers during launch. Resellers fund a prepaid wallet from ₹5,000, which is their own money to sell against, not a fee. Franchisees pay a setup fee of ₹2 lakh to ₹5 lakh depending on territory. White-label and API partners pay no fee; commercial terms are agreed per contract.
How are partner margins paid?
Resellers and franchisees keep the margin inside the wallet: a plan with a ₹1,200 retail price is deducted at ₹900 under the 25% band, ₹840 at 30% and ₹780 at 35%, and the partner collects the full retail price from the customer. Affiliates are paid monthly by UPI, PayPal or bank transfer once their balance reaches ₹1,000 or US$25. Franchise overrides are credited to the wallet monthly.
How do your terms compare with other eSIM partner programmes?
As of October 2026, TSIM publishes a 10% affiliate commission with 1-year attribution and eSIMify 8% of net order with a 30-day cookie. Matrix, PingSIM, Simify, Onomondo and 1GLOBAL publish no numbers. No company we checked publishes reseller or franchise margins. Universal eSIMs publishes all four tiers on this page.
What can partners sell?
Everything in the catalogue: travel eSIMs for 195+ countries, regional eSIMs for Europe, Asia and the Middle East, the Global eSIM, physical travel SIMs delivered in India, student SIMs for the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, Ireland, France, New Zealand and the UAE, and self-serve IoT Go SIMs. The same margin applies across travel and student products; IoT referrals pay a separate referral fee.
How quickly can a reseller start selling?
The same day. Approval takes up to 2 working days after the application, dashboard access arrives on signing, training takes 45 minutes, and the first eSIM can be issued from the dashboard within a minute of the first wallet top-up.
Do you have partners already?
Not yet. Universal eSIMs is pre-launch, so this hub shows the terms we will honour, not results from existing partners. Founding partners who sign before launch receive 5 percentage points of extra margin for their first 6 months and no joining fee. We will publish real partner stories, with permission, once partners have traded for at least three months.
Can a partner sell in more than one country?
Yes. Affiliates and API partners sell worldwide by default. Resellers can issue eSIMs to customers anywhere, since delivery is by email or WhatsApp. Franchise territories are exclusive, so a franchisee sells to customers whose address or point of sale is inside the territory and online orders from outside are credited to the relevant territory or to Universal eSIMs directly.
Who supports partners after they sign?
Every reseller and franchisee gets a dedicated WhatsApp line staffed by the partner team, separate from the 24/7 customer line, plus a named partner manager for franchise and platform accounts. Installation problems for end customers are handled by customer support directly so the partner does not become the help desk.
