Brand and operating standard

HeadlessDomains Partner Framework

The shared language for reseller packages, white-label registrar modules, Partner API access, and launch responsibilities.

Positioning

HeadlessDomains Partner Framework helps TLD owners and reseller partners launch branded Handshake registrar experiences while HeadlessDomains provides the wholesale registry API, provisioning source of truth, and prepaid GFA Gems settlement ledger.

Partners controlBrand, retail pricing, customer payments, customer terms, support, marketing pages, and approved frontend customization.

HeadlessDomains controlsPartner Portal accounts, agreements, modules, API keys, wholesale balances, backend adapter safety, and operational launch review.

Backend adaptersSkyInclude / registry-dash, manual operations, Namebase legacy supply, and future approved backends stay behind adapter paths.

Use These Names

HeadlessDomains Partner Framework is the umbrella program. HeadlessDomains Partners Portal is this control plane. Partner API is for downstream frontends, callbacks, and approved automation.

White-Label Frontend Kit is the starter implementation pattern. Downstream Partner Registrar is a partner-specific deployed registrar site. Registrar Modules are optional capabilities enabled by package or custom scope.

Commercial Boundary

Partners set the retail price and collect customer payment through their own rails. HeadlessDomains charges the wholesale cost from the partner's prepaid GFA Gems balance after successful provisioning.

Unless a written agreement says otherwise, the partner is the merchant of record for its end customers.

Packages

Hosted StarterHeadlessDomains hosts and manages a starter registrar surface. Source access is not included by default.

Framework PartnerPartner receives a downstream repo or controlled source access under agreement. Secrets and backend credentials stay protected.

API-onlyPartner builds and hosts its own frontend using Partner API docs, widgets, SDK/examples, and server-side API keys.

Custom/EnterpriseSpecial backend adapters, dedicated support terms, repo access, SLA expectations, and commercial fees are handled case by case.
