The Solution Partner Program has a focus on services and consulting firms. Adobe Exchange Partners build applications that integrate Adobe products or that run on the Adobe Experience Platform. Exchange partners distribute applications through the Adobe Exchange Marketplace.
Some Exchange partners also have a services or consulting business and in those cases they might want to also join the Adobe Solution Partner Program. Below are a few details to keep in mind if you would like to join both programs.
- The programs have separate portals and you need to register separately for each program. You can be a member of both programs, if your company is a fit for both, and your registration for each program is approved.
- Adobe Exchange Partner Portal
- Adobe Solution Partner Portal (A step by step registration guide is here.)
- Each portal requires a separately registered Adobe ID, with a unique corporate email address for each Adobe ID.
