  • You'll receive your client’s invoice. The invoice will include a discount for payroll services.
• Bill to the client at a normal rate and send me a revenue share
  • Your client will receive an invoice at our regular rate. You'll receive a monthly revenue share payment. Revenue share percentage depends on your partner level.
• Bill to the client at a discounted rate
  • Your client will receive an invoice that includes a discount for payroll services.

The billing option that appears for each client in Gusto on the 1st of every month will determine who is billed (partner vs. client) and how much they’re billed for. 

You can change your billing option(s) at any time. If you switch a billing option in the middle of the month, it won’t take effect until the 1st of the following month.
