What this integration does

How BrandForge fits CloudBlue Commerce

Distributor-ready

Publish BrandForge in your CloudBlue Commerce marketplace and let downstream resellers buy through you.

APS provisioning connector

Standard APS lifecycle events: create, suspend, unsuspend, terminate, upgrade, downgrade.

White-label per reseller

Every downstream reseller gets their own white-label BrandForge instance under their brand.

Multi-tier margins

Distributor, reseller, and end-customer pricing tiers are all supported.

How it works

From cart to brand kit

  1. Distributor lists BrandForge

    Your CloudBlue Commerce marketplace publishes BrandForge as an APS package.

  2. Reseller subscribes

    A downstream reseller subscribes for their end customers.

  3. End customer provisions

    The APS connector fires create events into BrandForge, scoped to the reseller.

  4. Lifecycle syncs across tiers

    Upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations flow through the APS chain in real time.
