Most agencies sell email marketing the same way: the client pays for their own Mailchimp account, the agency logs in and does the work, and the tool gets the brand recognition while the agency gets the hours.
Think about what that arrangement actually says. Your strategy, your copy, your results, delivered inside someone else's product. The client sees a third-party logo every time they open their reports. And if they ever decide to "just do it themselves," the platform is already theirs.
White label email marketing flips this. The platform runs under your domain, has your branding, and bills on your terms. To your clients, it's not a tool you use. It's a service you own.
Transpond's white label program is built for exactly this. Here's what it includes, why it's worth doing, and how to set it up.

What is white label email marketing?
White label email marketing means offering an email platform to your clients under your own brand: your domain, your logo, your look and feel, your pricing. The underlying software is built and maintained by someone else, but your clients experience it as yours.
It's the same model agencies already understand from white label reporting tools or reseller hosting. You skip the years of product development and get straight to the part you're actually good at: running marketing that works, and packaging it as a service worth paying for.
Why agencies white label their email marketing
It turns a cost line into a product line. Right now, email tools are something you or your clients pay for. When it’s white labeled, the platform becomes something you sell. You control what clients pay, so the margin between your cost and your price is yours to set, and it recurs every month whether or not you're actively running campaigns that week.
It makes your agency harder to leave. When a client's lists, templates, automations, and reporting all live inside your branded platform, your agency is woven into how their marketing runs day to day. That's a very different relationship from being one login among many in a tool they could keep without you.
It looks the part. A client logging in and seeing your brand on every screen reads as an agency with its own infrastructure. The same service delivered through a patchwork of third-party logins reads as outsourcing. Same work, very different perceived value.
It simplifies your own operations. One platform, one dashboard, every client account in a single place, instead of a separate tool subscription and login set per client.
What you can white label in Transpond
Transpond's agency program covers the full surface a client would ever see:
- Your domain. Clients log in through a custom domain you choose, not transpond.io.
- Your branding. The platform's look and feel matches your brand, so every screen a client sees carries your identity.
- Your billing. Pricing is bespoke: you decide what your clients pay for the service, and the platform bills on your terms rather than exposing them to Transpond's price list.
- Your client management. A single dashboard manages every client account, and user access controls decide exactly what each client and team member can see and do.
- Your mail infrastructure, if you want it. Send through Transpond's default mail servers, or use your own.
- Your templates. Use the pre-built library, or build custom template sets per client so every account starts on-brand.
Underneath all of that sits the full platform your clients' campaigns actually need: the Campaign Builder, signup forms, automations, SMS, conversations, analytics, and native Capsule CRM sync.
How to set it up, step by step
- Set up your agency account.
Start at agency.transpond.io. This is the reseller program rather than a standard account, so you'll set up the agency relationship first: your account, your terms, and access to the white label controls.
- Choose and connect your domain.
Decide where your platform will live. A subdomain of your existing site (marketing.youragency.com) keeps everything under one brand roof and is the common choice. This is the address your clients will bookmark, so pick something you're happy to say on a sales call.
- Brand the platform.
Apply your logo, colors, and look and feel so the platform reads as yours on every screen. Treat this with the same care as your own website: this is the part of your agency clients will see most often.
- Decide your packaging and pricing.
This is the commercial heart of the setup. You control what clients pay, so decide what you're selling: platform access alone, platform plus a managed service, or tiers of each. Common structures include a flat monthly platform fee per client, a fee bundled into the retainer, or tiered pricing by contact count. Whatever you choose, price the value of the service, not the cost of the software.
- Set up your template library.
Before the first client logs in, build the foundations: a set of base templates, your standard automation workflows (welcome sequence, follow-up series, re-engagement), and any signup form patterns you reuse. Every client account you create afterward starts from this library instead of from scratch.
- Create client accounts and set access.
Add each client as an account under your dashboard, and use roles to control access. Some agencies give clients full access to their own account; others keep clients to viewing reports while the agency does the driving. Both work; decide per client.
- Onboard your first client.
Connect their CRM (if they're on Capsule, the sync is native and real-time), import or migrate their lists, apply their branding to their templates, and switch on their first automation. Our Agency Campaign Setup Checklist covers this exact sequence: Download now.
From there, every new client is a repeat of steps 6 and 7, which is the point: the setup work is front-loaded, and each additional client costs you less time than the last.
What your clients experience
It's worth being clear about what this looks like from the other side, because it's the whole sales pitch.
Your client gets a login at your domain. They see their campaigns, their contacts, and their results inside a platform carrying your brand. Their reports come from your system. When they have a question, they ask you. When their welcome sequence converts a lead at 11pm, your platform did it.
What they don't see: Transpond's name, Transpond's pricing, or any suggestion that they could bypass you. The relationship stays exactly where it should be, between your agency and your client.
Things to decide before you launch
How much access clients get. Full self-service, view-only reporting, or something in between. There's no wrong answer, but decide before onboarding rather than after a client stumbles into a half-built automation.
Who answers support questions. White labeling means client questions come to you first. Most are covered by knowing the platform well, which is one more reason to run your own agency's marketing on it before putting clients on it.
Your own sending reputation. If you choose to use your own mail servers rather than Transpond's, deliverability management sits with you. For most agencies, the default infrastructure is the simpler path until there's a specific reason to change.
Where it fits in your proposals. The strongest position for white label email marketing is usually as part of a system, platform plus strategy plus reporting, rather than as software resale alone. You're not competing with the price of an email tool; you're selling marketing that runs itself under your brand.
Make a platform that’s yours
The mechanics of white labeling are genuinely quick: a domain, your branding, your pricing, a template library. The value compounds from there, with every client who logs into your platform instead of someone else's, and every retainer that includes a product line you control.
If your agency is already doing the work, it should be your name on the platform doing it.
