# Partners
> Introduction to the Dintero Partner API for inviting and managing merchants, covering how partner accounts work.
As a Dintero partner, you get a dedicated partner account with API access to invite and manage merchants.
You can automate merchant onboarding, configure payment settings, create API clients, and pull settlement and insight reports on behalf of your merchants. You also get access to a single partner [Backoffice](https://backoffice.dintero.com/) where you can manage all your merchants in one place.
To become a Dintero partner, [apply on the partner page](https://www.dintero.com/partners) or contact [partners@dintero.com](mailto:partners@dintero.com).
## Partner account IDs
Partner account IDs end with five zeros. For example, account ID `T11200000` has partner ID `112`. Merchant accounts created under your partner account are linked to this ID.
Dintero account IDs are prefixed with `T` for sandbox accounts and `P` for production accounts. Use sandbox accounts during development and switch to production when you are ready to go live.
