# Business Partner

**Important**
This module is designed for business partners who want to manage their distributor merchants within the Khipu platform. It allows you to track transactions, amounts, and gross margins across all integrated merchants.

## Description

The **Business Partner** module allows business partners to include their clients and maintain organized records of the activity generated in terms of merchants, transactions, amounts, gross margin, and more.

## How does it work?

1. Business partners can **add their distributor merchants** to their account using the Distributors section.
2. Each distributor merchant provides their **Collector ID** and **Secret Key** to establish the link.
3. Once linked, the business partner can **monitor and track** all activity from their integrated merchants.


**Attention**
To link a distributor merchant, you will need both their **Collector ID (ID de cobrador)** and their **Secret Key (Llave)**. The distributor merchant must provide these credentials from their own Khipu account.

## Requirements

Before adding a distributor merchant, ensure:

- You have an active Business Partner account with Khipu
- The distributor merchant has an active collection account on Khipu
- The distributor merchant has provided you with their Collector ID and Secret Key
