For Web and Digital Content Creation Agencies

Earn Rewards While Staying Laser-Focused on Digital Delivery


Web and Digital Content Creation Agencies often find it challenging to decline clients seeking email services alongside their web and digital needs. The complexities, shift in focus, and potential support disruptions can be overwhelming. Most of the time, the remuneration received is not worth the effort invested.
What if you could introduce the robust capabilities of Google Workspace to your clients at a cost lower than direct options, while earning rewards for yourself?
When you refer clients to Paoma, whether for their current Google Workspace subscription or a new one, you not only add value to your customer but also earn cashback reward and unlock discounts for your agency’s Google Workspace subscription. It's a double-win that streamlines your services, reduces your cost and provides additional revenue.

For your Customers


Billing

Why should I choose Paoma over direct Credit Card payments with Google?
Paoma offers a more cost-effective solution for payment. Local Credit Cards in MUR incur approximately 3% processing fees on foreign currency transactions. Paoma invoices in MUR and enables payment through local bank transfers, helping you save on processing fees.
I already pay Google with my credit card for an exisitng Google Workspace Subscription How does the billing transfer from Google to Paoma work?
The billing transfer process is simple. Our technical team will guide you through a few steps in your Google Workspace Admin Console to retrieve a code and transfer it to us. Once completed, the transfer will take place overnight. You'll receive a credit from Google on your credit card for the remaining days on your last bill prepayment. Subsequently, you'll receive your invoices from Paoma at the end of each subscription month.
Google Workspace prices are quoted in USD. What will be the monthly charge in MUR?
To provide you with the best price, we use the MCB selling spot rate for each invoice, ensuring you get the most competitive rate without inflating the MUR price to mitigate exchange rate fluctuations.
Can I choose to pay in USD?
Absolutely! If you prefer USD invoices, let us know, and we will provide you with a USD account for payment.

User Seats Management

How can I add or remove users from my subscription plan?
You have the flexibility to reduce user seats on a Flex plan as you currently do. To increase your user seat count, feel free to get in touch with our Business Executives.
Shortly, Paoma will introduce a user-friendly self-service portal where you can adjust the number of user seats you require.
What if my users have different Google Workspace plan requirements?
With our Partial Domain Licensing option, available from 10 users, you can assign different plans to different users within your subscription. This flexibility helps optimize your budget based on your pooled storage needs. Contact our Business Executives for more information.

Pricing

Is your price the same as Google's?

Can I get a better price?
Yes, by committing to an annual plan, you can save over 16%. During this period, you can increase the number of users in your Google Workspace account, but you won't be able to reduce them.
Furthermore, if you choose a multi-year commitment or have a larger number of users, you'll be eligible for even more substantial discounts.
What about VAT?
The VAT charged in line with local regulations can be claimed in your periodic VAT return, similar to any other eligible business expense.
How are user seats added or removed within a month?
User seat additions or removals within a month are charged proportionally based on the number of days they were active. Our invoices provide detailed information about user charges for each period within the month.

Support

Can I receive local support in Mauritius?
Certainly! Our Support team, trained and certified in Google Workspace, is available to assist you in English, French, or Creole. We can help with various tasks, including managing subscriptions, aliases, groups, and more.
What's the cost of support?
Most of our business customers opt for our Prepaid Support plan. This plan allows you to purchase support hours that can be used as needed, with debits in 5-minute increments. Hours expire after a year, and there's no minimum purchase requirement. Larger quantities offer higher discounts.

Data Privacy & Control

Can Paoma access my data?
No, your data remains private. Only the user who created the data has access unless shared with others. Paoma solely has access to a subscription billing platform and cannot access your Google Workspace Admin Console unless you choose so for support purposes.
Do I retain full control over my Google Workspace Admin Console?
Absolutely. Even if we perform tasks in your Admin Console, your Super-Administrator account always remains under your control. We can use a 'Cloud Identity Free' user account to provide services without accessing your data directly.
What are the implications regarding Data Protection regulations?
You can rest easy. Paoma's role is strictly limited to billing responsibilities. We don't assume the roles of Data Controller or Data Processor for your data, ensuring there are no data protection implications.

Can you help with consistent email signatures based on a template design?
Certainly! We offer an affordable solution to ensure all your users have consistent email signatures. Reach out, and we'll guide you through the process and pricing.
