Tech Partners

For Tech Partners

Build once, connect everywhere. The OCTO spec is open and free. Membership makes implementation faster.

Why implement OCTO?

One standard replaces dozens of custom integrations. That means fewer edge cases, faster delivery, and partners who already speak your language.

Wider partner network

Every OCTO-compliant partner is a potential connection. One implementation, hundreds of suppliers, resellers, and platforms.

Faster time to market

Skip the months of back-and-forth on custom APIs. The spec is documented, tested, and ready. Build once, ship to many.

Reduced maintenance burden

A shared standard means shared understanding. No more maintaining dozens of bespoke connection adapters that drift apart over time.

Industry credibility

OCTO compliance tells partners and prospects your platform is serious about interoperability.

Open & Free

The specification is yours to use. No license, no fees, no gates.

The OCTO specification is published openly. You can read it, implement it, and ship integrations without asking permission or paying a cent. Membership is about getting there faster, not getting access.

Read the Specification

What membership adds

The spec is free. Membership gives you the support, tooling, and community access that accelerate delivery and reduce risk.

Open Specification & public resources

The full OCTO spec, documentation, and all public technical resources.

Validation & Self-Certification Tooling

Validation tools, reference implementations, and self-certification. Ship a correct integration the first time.

OCTO Slack community

Slack channels with other implementers. Get answers from people who've solved the same problems.

Early access to new capabilities

Review upcoming capabilities before they go public. No surprises when new features ship.

Member updates & briefings

Roadmap highlights, quarterly briefings, and member-only insights on where the spec is headed.

Member & Implementation Directory

Listed in both the Member Directory and the Implementation Directory. Where suppliers and partners find you.

Technical discussions & support

Direct access to technical discussions, implementation guidance, and the spec committee.

Technology Member pricing

Simple, transparent pricing based on company revenue. No per-seat fees, no usage limits, no surprises.

Frequently asked questions

Is the spec really free?

Yes. Read it, implement it, ship integrations — without paying anything or signing any license. Membership is separate and optional.

What's the difference between using the spec and being a member?

Using the spec means you implement the standard. Being a member means you also get implementation support, early access, community, tooling, a directory listing, and a voice in how the spec evolves. It's the difference between reading the docs and having the team behind them on speed dial.

How long does implementation typically take?

Depends on scope and your existing architecture, but most tech partners report a working integration within weeks. The spec is well-documented, and members get implementation guidance that shortens the path further.

Can I get support during implementation?

Yes. Technology Members get Slack channels with other implementers and spec committee members. Ask questions, share approaches, get feedback as you build. It's one of the most-used member benefits.

Which tier should I choose?

Under $5M revenue: $999/year. Over $5M: $1,999/year. Same core benefits. The higher tier helps fund continued development and includes priority support and enhanced directory visibility.
