After 10 Years as a Tencent Cloud Agent, Let Me Talk About Rebates
Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of questions from friends: “Does Tencent offer rebates? Can you get commissions for Tencent Cloud servers? What’s the actual rebate rate?” As someone who’s been in the Tencent Cloud agency business for 10 years—an “old hand” in this field—I want to take today to chat openly about these topics. It’s also a way to help those who want to learn about the industry or need cloud server services avoid potential pitfalls.
In fact, Tencent Cloud started building its agency system as early as 2015. Back then, very few platforms in the public cloud sector paid attention to the agency model. It has to be said that Tencent Cloud had quite a forward-thinking vision. Some might ask, what exactly does an agent do? Put simply, we’re Tencent Cloud’s “promotion partners,” helping to market core products like cloud servers and databases. For each successful sale we drive, Tencent Cloud settles a commission with us according to our agreement. However, this commission isn’t fixed—it’s directly tied to sales volume. The higher the sales volume, the higher the commission rate we can get.

Take our company as an example: now, we generate around 200 million yuan in annual sales just from Tencent Cloud-related businesses, and the corresponding commission rate is roughly 30%. Many people might wonder, “With such a high commission, why don’t you keep it all and make a fortune?” Actually, we’ve always stuck to a “small profits but quick turnover” strategy—we pass on the entire 30% commission to our customers. For us, higher sales volume not only makes our data look better and boosts our performance, but also strengthens our cooperative relationship with Tencent Cloud. In the long run, this is much more worthwhile than making a small profit from price differences.
But not all agents can get such a high commission. This industry is extremely “competitive,” following the law of survival of the fittest. Smaller-scale agents struggle to reach high sales volumes, so their commission rates are usually only 10% to 15%. What’s even harder is their weak ability to withstand risks—they easily run into operational troubles due to market fluctuations, customer churn, and other issues, eventually having to close down. Over the years, I’ve seen too many small agents go under, and it’s quite a regretful sight.
I’ve had many customers complain to me before: they initially chose small agents to buy servers because they wanted a cheaper price. But when they tried to negotiate a lower renewal price the next year, they found that those companies no longer existed. There was no one to handle follow-up services or after-sales support, which was incredibly frustrating. So when choosing an agent, you really can’t just focus on the immediate price. You also need to look at the company’s strength and stability.
Some people might not know that Tencent Cloud classifies its agents into different tiers, from the lowest to the highest: Standard, Silver, Gold, and the top tier—Diamond. Our company has been in this business for 10 years and has maintained steady development, all thanks to our solid performance. Now, we’re a Diamond-tier agent. Across the entire industry, there are only about 5 large agents like us that have survived and reached the Diamond tier. This shows just how difficult it is to succeed in this field.
After talking so much, I’m sure many of you are wondering: “I need to buy a Tencent Cloud server now—can I get that 30% commission from you?” The answer is yes, but there are two hard requirements you must meet. First, your Tencent Cloud account must be registered through the registration link we provide. Second, your enterprise must not have completed real-name verification on Tencent Cloud before. These two conditions are non-negotiable—if you don’t meet them, you’ll either get no commission at all or only a lower rebate rate. Everyone must keep this in mind clearly.
Actually, our company didn’t start out as a cloud agent. In the early days, we did software development. Later, we watched as competition in the software development industry became more and more fierce, and the market got worse year by year, so we decided to transform our business. Just as public cloud started to take off, we realized that almost everything—from launching software and developing mini-programs to enterprise digital transformation—depends on cloud servers. This was definitely a major trend, so we made the decisive move to enter the public cloud agency field. Unexpectedly, we’ve been doing it for 10 years now.
Over these years, we’ve grown alongside Tencent Cloud as we watched it develop and thrive. I truly believe that choosing the right track is crucial.
