This guide explains what a support code and a VIP code are (not to be confused with the authorization code used for domain name transfers) on Infomaniak.
Support code and VIP code
The support code allows the Infomaniak Support department to identify you quickly and securely when you contact them and provide this sequence of numbers. It is displayed on the your user profile page.
The VIP code is reserved for customers who have subscribed to Premium Support and allows for identification when you call the technical reference. It is displayed on the management page for this service.
This management page also displays various information allowing you to contact Infomaniak as part of the Support package subscribed to.
The code is present on your technical document and also appears on the contact window when you want to contact Infomaniak via the assistance button .
In the same place, you can grant temporary access to your services (for access only possible for Infomaniak Support collaborators):
This guide is for you if you have received a payment reminder for an Infomaniak invoice even though everything seems to be in order.
Reminder email from Infomaniak?
Check that the reminder received is not a phishing attempt (fake email / message not from Infomaniak / scam).
Standing order
If you have set up a standing order, the reference number will not match the invoice number.
Since each invoice has an individual reference number, check the invoice for the month or payment period in question.
Difference in amount / currency
The amount of your payment does not match the invoice. Please always pay the exact amount of the invoice, and in the currency of the latter.
Money on the prepaid account
The payment you made has been received, but due to an issue that occurred while linking your payment to the outstanding invoice, this initial payment has been deposited into the prepaid account.
Check your prepaid account balance and pay the invoice using this method.
Payment reminder that crosses with the payment
A payment has indeed been made, but if it was by bank transfer, a reminder may have been sent before the invoice was settled.
You can change how payments should be made:

This guide helps you understand the concepts of recurring rebates and cashback (revenue) within the framework of the Infomaniak Partner Program.
Prerequisites
- Understand the differences between the 2 types of authorizations linking a Client to the Partner, which can be defined from the Manager.
- Understand the differences between the 2 types of payment methods linking a Client to the Partner, which can be defined from the Manager.
Cashback
This is an amount equal to the difference between the public price and the preferential price that the Partner benefits from as an Infomaniak reseller.
This amount is refunded as cashback to the Partner's prepaid account in the following cases:
Full access partnership (Client's payment methods)
- When the Client places an order or renews a product.
- When the Partner places an order or renews a product on behalf of their client using the client's payment methods.
Full access partnership (Partner's payment methods)
- When the Client places an order or renews a product.
Limited access partnership
- The Client places an order or renews a product that the Partner manages.
Rebate
A Partner benefits from rebates on orders and renewals due to their status as an Infomaniak reseller. The rebate applies in the following case:
Full access partnership (Partner's payment methods)
- When the Partner places an order or renews a product on behalf of their client using their payment methods.
Accumulation
The rebate is combined with the degressive rate of Web/Mail hosting.
With 35 web hostings, you pay for example only CHF 208.32 / month excl. VAT per hosting instead of CHF 347.20, which represents a total reduction of -40%.
Details of the calculation in CHF (excl. VAT):
- Regular price for 35 Web Hostings: CHF 347.20
- With 20% Partner Discount: CHF 277.76
- Final partner rate with 25% decreasing rate: CHF 208.32
Calculation details in euros (excl. VAT):
- Regular price for 35 Web Hostings: 201.25 โฌ
- With 20% Partner Discount: 161 โฌ
- Final partner rate with 25% decreasing rate: 120.75 โฌ
The decreasing rate (- 25%) is therefore applied to the remaining amount after the partner discount (- 20%).

This guide explains what a Single Sign-On (SSO) connection is, a mechanism that allows users to log in to multiple applications with a single set of credentials.
The "Log in with SSO" button is for users whose companies have enabled this feature. If you don't know what SSO is and/or if you are already a private Infomaniak customer, log in as usual via the blue button.
Preamble
- Infomaniak offers businesses/advanced users a connection on the page login.infomaniak.com via SSO, a connection system including Active Directory (AD) and OpenID Connect (OIDC) for Infomaniak users:
- Active Directory (AD): Microsoft directory service, often used to manage identities and access within an organization.
- OpenID Connect (OIDC): Authentication protocol based on OAuth 2.0, allowing standardized SSO connection via access tokens (token).
- For the moment, only Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) is compatible, this is not the case for a local AD or other Identity Providers similar to Entra.
Connecting to Infomaniak services via SSO
Infomaniak has recently introduced the possibility for its users to connect to its services via SSO. This means that in addition to its classic login system with username and password, you can now log in using your company or organization's credentials. This new feature is specifically designed to improve your experience and enhance security.
The "Log in with SSO" button is intended for users whose companies have enabled this feature:
- No need to remember an additional password for Infomaniak services: once authenticated with your professional credentials, you access your Infomaniak services directly.
- Your organization already applies security policies to your accounts (complex passwords, multi-factor authentication, etc.): by using SSO, these protections automatically extend to your access at Infomaniak.
- Do you change your password or account? These changes are made solely through your internal system, and they apply immediately to your connection at Infomaniak.
Talk to your system administrator or IT manager to find out if you can activate this option at Infomaniak. If your organization uses a centralized authentication system like AD or OIDC, SSO allows you to save time and simplify the management of your accesses. Infomaniak will provide the necessary information to connect its platform to your identity system.
This guide explains how to change the first and last name that Infomaniak displays when you are logged into your Infomaniak account (= user account) within an Organization in the Manager, as well as the avatar of your account.
