Pre-registering Customers

Customer pre-registration is a mechanism provided by Huawei Cloud for cloud solution providers to register customers in advance to seize customer development opportunities. This mechanism prevents conflicts between partners and between partners and Huawei Cloud.

A partner can pre-register potential customers. Within the validity period of pre-registration, the partner can send invitation links to pre-registered customers for them to register and associate with the partner.

Except for sending emails, partners can send hyperlinks and QR codes to invite potential customers.

Precautions

  • A customer cannot be pre-registered by a partner if the customer:
    • Is registered with Huawei Cloud (Chinese mainland website).
    • Has been associated with a partner.
    • Has been pre-registered by another partner.
    • Has signed contracts with HUAWEI CLOUD.
    • Has cash expenditure records and has not been followed up by the Huawei Cloud direct sales team.
  • A partner can submit a request for manual pre-registration review if the customer:
    • Has registered for more than seven days or has cash expenditure records and has been followed up by the Huawei Cloud direct sales team.
    • registers in a country that is inconsistent with the location where the partner develops business.
    • Belongs to the Huawei Cloud online sales team.
  • The maximum number of pending and pre-registered customers is 100. When the maximum number is reached, the partner cannot pre-register any customers.
  • The validity period of pre-registration is 15 days. A pre-registered customer cannot be pre-registered by another partner until the current validity period has expired.
  • If a partner does not reserve a mobile number or email address in the partner center, the partner cannot register a customer. Partners need to add mobile numbers or email addresses on the Personal Information page under Account Management > Basic Information in the partner center before registering customers.
  • When a partner pre-registers a customer, ensure to enter the email address used by the customer to register its account.
  • If a partner still wants to pre-register a customer who does not meet the pre-registration conditions, the partner needs to submit a manual review request. The review will be completed within two working days.
