Qiao is an AI relocation app for international students in China: arrival plans, visa and police-registration reminders, city maps, a multilingual assistant.
Year one free. No setup or monthly fee, no card.
Founding cohort
Verification order, not arrival order.
It ships under your logo, so we check legal status, track record, references.
Limited places · everyone vettedThe whole arrangement fits on one screen.
Your contracts, your universities, your commissions, your agreement with the family. We take no percentage of it, ever: a separate clause says so. Admissions are booked through the platform only to make the numbers verifiable, never to share them.
eSIM, the Pass, insurance, bank introductions, renewals. Our revenue across the platform, and what pays for the free app your students use.
A student on your promo code buys any of it: 30% of the net is yours. From day one, free year included.
Full white-label app, dashboard, support, no usage limits, no card on file. At twelve months we count what measurably came back to you and cap the invoice at 20% of it. If it does not add up, you leave with your data and owe nothing.
Qiao is early: 200+ universities mapped, three languages, a working assistant, no name. Reputation is not bought with advertising, so we buy it with time: we pay for your first year, you tell the truth about the product.
The Qiao team at duor.digital
Your logo, colours and support contact: a promo code makes the app yours, and you stay through visa renewals, housing and banking, not just arrival week.
Police registration, dorm deposits, bank accounts, answered around the clock in the student's language, for their city and university.
Practical guidance, not legal or immigration advice, and it says so.
Visa expiry, police registration, residence permit: Qiao warns your manager in time, though responsibility stays with the student.
Every student gets a shareable code tied to your agency, so you see who referred whom and reward your best advocates.
Parents pay, the child flies out, then six months of silence: Qiao can generate a monthly report under your brand for you to send.
Students opt in, pick recipients and can switch it off; nobody unapproved sees their data, including you.
Reviews on your Qiao page come only from students the platform confirmed enrolled and arrived: verified enrolment, not verified opinion.
Many students find Qiao on their own, and for the whole agreement founding partners get first priority in routing by city, country and language, though we can prove queue position, not volume.
Your student buys in the app. The commission is ours, the person is yours: we split it from day one, free period included.
Attribution runs on the promo code and holds for as long as the student uses the app, not just the first month, not just the first purchase. Renewals and repeat purchases keep paying.
Paid out monthly, itemised by student and promo code in your dashboard.

Subscription lines are shared net of Apple and Google fees, up to 30%. Dashboard shows gross and net.
Per-product rates, not a per-student total: most buy one or two of six. Real secondary income across 25 students, not a headline.
Student placement. Your contracts, university commissions and family agreements stay outside our revenue model; admissions are booked here only to verify volume, and not one percent is ours.
Rates vary by product, market and volume and can change. Providers are named once agreements are signed. The schedule is a contract annex confirmed on your onboarding call.
The table above is rates. This is arithmetic: drag the cohort size, pick how active it honestly is, and watch what your 30% adds up to. Mid-range commissions, realistic adoption — the same assumptions in both directions.

QIAO PARTNER TAPE

≈ $17 · per student / year
Illustrative arithmetic, not a promise: mid-range commissions × conservative adoption, before any bulk codes. Lines marked soon ship on roadmap dates. Your dashboard shows gross and net per student — the real tape either beats this one, or you can see exactly why not.
Free offers usually go vague here, so here is the arithmetic. We do not set the number, your own results do.
Tagged at first contact, visible in your dashboard from that moment.
Bought inside the app, with a receipt behind every line.
It reached you because the platform earned it first.
Students you brought in yourself never enter the base. You are charged only on money that would not exist without the platform.
Marginal, like tax brackets: each rate applies only to its own band.
Counted with you, from dashboard data you can check.
How that example fee would be paid
The $2,800 over twelve months, settled against your share first.
The same $2,800 prepaid, minus a discount for paying once.
Bigger years pay a lower effective rate: growth makes the next dollar cheaper, not dearer. The bands are public, the same for every partner, and never move mid-term.
However fast you grow, the fee rises by at most 40% year on year.
A fall passes through at once, in full, uncapped. Down 60% means the fee is down 60%.
If rolling three-month benefit halves, either side calls an out-of-cycle recount.
Year-end true-up: anything above 20% of what the year produced is credited forward, or refunded if you leave.
The 30% we owe you is applied against the fee before invoicing. In a good month you transfer us nothing at all.
Two to three months free or near enough, metrics agreed in advance. Your first annual figure comes from real pilot numbers, not a forecast.
The year, in dates
Dispute a line and if we cannot evidence it, it leaves the base. We do not ask you to disprove it.
We can only count what we can measure, so partner services your students buy are transacted through Qiao. Anything settled off-platform cannot be verified, counted, or pay you your 30%. Admissions are booked here for measurement only: no percentage taken, ever.
You leave with a full export of your student base, pipeline history and reports (CSV and JSON) within 10 working days. We hold no payment details during the free year. The invoice is an offer, not an auto-renewal.
One agency that mishandles a family damages every partner, so we verify you before signing.
Short form, 30-minute call, straight no if we do not fit.
Registration, signing authority, track record, references we call. Documents, not screenshots.
Yes, waitlist or no, in writing with a reason, within 5 working days, in verification order.
Migrate, brand, train: 10 to 14 working days from signature to first student.
Beta in autumn, full version in winter, onboarding after. The free year starts at your first onboarded student, not signature. Applying holds one of the 30 places.
25 students in your first semester
Three students teach neither of us anything.
One named owner
A person, not a shared inbox.
Thirty minutes a month
Tell us what is broken; founding partners vote the roadmap we build.
We do not touch your placements. What your students earn us, we share from day one. After the free year we invoice only if we can show the platform earned you more than it costs.
That is not a figure of speech. It is how the contract is built.
We reply to every application within 5 working days — including the ones we turn down.
