Experience Cloud sites are a tool for partner relationship management. A company invites outside partners, such as resellers, distributors, or independent brokers, to a site where they log in and work with the CRM data the company shares with them, so both sides can drive channel sales and marketing together. Partner Central is the Lightning solution and template for building this kind of partner site with clicks and no code.
Core information
  • A partner site lets partner users log in to Salesforce through a separate website and access data you've made available only to them. You invite partners to the site and share CRM data with them to drive channel sales and marketing.
More details and nuances
  • Partner sites and the Partner Central template are available in Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions, in both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience.
