Regional growth
Operate by country and region with a scalable partner model.
Become a VAP and help build the Sapio Commerce ecosystem in your region.
Join Sapio Commerce as a Value Added Partner, access your backoffice area, create stores for client companies, support onboarding, and help grow a structured digital commerce ecosystem organised by category, country, region, store and product.
Why become a VAP
The VAP is one of the key differentiators of the Sapio Commerce ecosystem: a regional partner who helps develop, activate and support stores in a governed marketplace model.
Grow a regional digital channel
Develop the ecosystem in your market, onboard businesses and help them enter structured digital commerce with less friction.
Create and manage stores
Create stores for client companies, assign them correctly, and support their activation under the Sapio operational model.
Operate with governance
Work inside a clear structure where discovery follows category, country, region, store and product, instead of a chaotic open marketplace.

Frequently asked questions
A concise FAQ helps reduce friction before the user clicks register.
Can I manage multiple stores?
Yes. A VAP may create and manage multiple stores within the assigned territory and operating scope.
Do I see each store's confidential data?
No. The VAP should only see aggregated totals relevant to performance monitoring and commissions.
Can a store sell across many categories?
No. In the Sapio model, each store belongs to one category only, and products must follow that category.
Where will I work after login?
After login, the VAP enters the backoffice area used for store creation, management and operational follow-up.
