Even if you do not need help implementing Zoho, you may want an advisor from time to time. Tag CodeStringers as your Zoho partner and we give you consulting hours every month at no charge.

How tagging works.
Zoho asks the administrator of your Zoho account to map a partner, so the last step is always yours, inside Zoho. We cannot do it for you.
Open Zoho’s Partner Associations page.
Use the button on this page and sign in to Zoho as an administrator of your account.
Choose your services and click Map Partner.
Pick the Zoho services you want us to look after, or select them all, then click Map Partner.
Check our partner code and submit.
The partner code should already be filled in. If it is not, type CODESTRINGERS exactly as shown, in capital letters. Then click Submit and confirm. Zoho tells us, and your hours begin the month your paid subscription shows with us as your partner.
Tell us who you are.
Fill in the short form on this page. It tells us whom to give the hours to; the tag itself is made in Zoho.
Prefer not to do it yourself? Say so in the form and we send a tag request from our Zoho Partner Store to your administrator’s email. Zoho emails them a link to approve it.
If another Zoho partner already looks after a product for you, tagging us for that product replaces them, and Zoho tells them by email.
Why we ask.
When you tag us, Zoho shares part of your license fees with us; these hours are what we give back.
Tagging is free, you stay in control of it, and you can change partners later. When you tag us, Zoho also shows us your subscription details, such as the product, the plan and the number of paid users. That is how we know how many hours to give you.
Questions you may have.
- Do I have to buy anything from CodeStringers?
- No. The hours do not depend on a project, a service or a plan from us.
- Which Zoho plans count?
- Zoho CRM Professional, Enterprise and Ultimate, and Zoho One, with any number of paid users. Other plans, including Zoho CRM Standard, do not carry the hours.
- What are the hours for?
- Your own questions about using and configuring Zoho: a second opinion, advice on what to change next. They are consulting time. They do not cover support tickets, fixes on your system, or project or implementation work.
- Do unused hours carry over?
- No. Unused time does not carry over, and months run on Pacific time.
- Can a government body use them?
- No. Government bodies are excluded. You are still welcome to tag us.
- Who can tag us?
- An administrator of your Zoho account. If that is not you, send this page to them.
- When do the hours start?
- In the month Zoho shows us your paid subscription with us as your partner. A trial does not carry hours, because the number of paid users is not final.
- Can I change partners later?
- Yes. You can tag another partner at any time, and Zoho tells both of us by email. The hours stop when our tag is removed.
