If you work in sales, help local businesses with technology, or already have relationships with restaurant owners, the Smart Online Order (SOO) Agent Program gives you an opportunity to earn recurring commissions by referring restaurants.
The concept is simple: introduce Clover restaurants to Smart Online Order, let the SOO team handle the setup and support, and earn a commission on the orders those restaurants receive.
What Is the Smart Online Order Agent Program?
Smart Online Order is an online ordering solution designed for restaurants using Clover. Restaurants can use it to accept online orders while connecting their Clover inventory with their online ordering system.
The Agent Program is designed for sales agents and affiliates who want to introduce restaurants to the platform.
Instead of having to manage technical setup, billing, or ongoing support yourself, the SOO team handles those parts. Your primary role is to make the introduction and refer the restaurant.
Earn $0.25 on Every Order
One of the main benefits of the program is the recurring commission structure.
Agents earn $0.25 per order from referred restaurants. That means your earnings can continue as the restaurant keeps receiving online orders.
For example, if a restaurant receives:
- 100 orders per month → $25/month
- 400 orders per month → $100/month
- 1,000 orders per month → $250/month
The more restaurants you refer, the more your potential recurring income can grow.
According to the program’s example, 20 restaurants averaging 400 orders per month could generate $2,000 in monthly residual income, or $24,000 per year.
How the SOO Agent Program Works
Getting started is straightforward.
1. Join the Agent Program
First, sign up and get set up as a referred agent. The SOO team provides guidance on tracking and payouts.
2. Refer a Clover Restaurant
Find a restaurant using Clover that could benefit from online ordering and introduce them to Smart Online Order.
The SOO team handles the onboarding and support process after the referral.
3. Earn Recurring Commissions
Once the restaurant is active, you can earn $0.25 for every order generated through the account.
The commission is recurring, meaning your referral can continue generating commissions as the restaurant receives orders.
Why Restaurant Owners Can Benefit Too
The Agent Program isn’t only about creating an additional revenue opportunity for sales agents. The restaurants you refer also receive an online ordering solution built around their Clover system.
Smart Online Order uses Clover inventory to help create and maintain the restaurant’s online menu, reducing the need for restaurants to manually maintain separate menus.
The platform also includes features such as:
- Online ordering
- Clover inventory synchronization
- Loyalty and rewards
- Push notifications
- Discounts and promotions
- Customer order history
- Standard support
This makes the referral easier to position: you’re not simply selling another service. You’re introducing restaurant owners to a solution that can help them accept and manage online orders.
A Simple Pricing Model for Restaurants
Smart Online Order uses a per-order pricing model. Restaurants pay $0.99 per order with no monthly fee under the plan described on the program page.
For restaurant owners, this means they pay when customers place orders rather than committing to a traditional monthly subscription.
For agents, it creates a direct connection between restaurant activity and recurring commission.
Your Network Can Become Your Biggest Asset
The biggest opportunity with a residual commission program is that you don’t have to rely on making a new sale every single month.
Imagine you refer one restaurant that receives 400 online orders each month. At $0.25 per order, that restaurant could generate $100 in monthly commissions.
Now imagine referring 10 restaurants with similar order volume.
That’s potentially:
10 restaurants × 400 orders × $0.25 = $1,000/month
As you continue referring restaurants, your commission potential can compound.
Who Should Join the SOO Agent Program?
The program can be a good fit for people who already work with restaurant owners or businesses, including:
- Restaurant technology sales representatives
- POS consultants
- Digital marketing agencies
- Website designers
- Local business consultants
- Restaurant consultants
- Independent sales professionals
- Anyone with a network of Clover restaurant owners
If you already talk to restaurant owners about websites, marketing, POS systems, or online ordering, SOO can be an additional solution to introduce during those conversations.
Why Recurring Revenue Matters for Sales Agents
Traditional sales often require you to continually find new customers to maintain your income.
A recurring commission model works differently.
Instead of receiving value from a referral only once, you can continue earning from the restaurant’s activity after the initial referral.
That’s why building a portfolio of restaurant accounts can become more valuable over time.
The SOO program describes the commission as recurring for every referred restaurant, with the SOO team handling setup, support, and billing.
