What is Channel Revenue?
Channel Revenue is all revenue generated through indirect sales channels — including partner-sourced deals (where the partner found the customer), partner-influenced deals (where the partner assisted in closing), and partner-transacted deals (where the partner processed the sale). It is the primary metric for measuring the financial impact of a company’s channel program.
Types of Channel Revenue
- Partner-sourced — Partner identified and developed the opportunity from scratch
- Partner-influenced — Vendor found the lead but partner helped close the deal
- Partner-transacted — Partner processed the order even if vendor drove the opportunity
- Marketplace revenue — Sales transacted through cloud marketplaces (AWS, Azure, GCP)
Measuring Channel Revenue
- Total channel revenue vs total company revenue (channel contribution %)
- Channel revenue growth rate quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year
- Revenue per active partner
- Channel revenue by partner type, tier, and geography
- New vs recurring channel revenue
