You can track partner sales in your Salesforce org in different ways.

- [Add partners](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sales.partners_edit.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "The opportunity and account detail pages include a Partners related list for viewing and adding partner relationships.") to account and opportunity records.
- Enable your org for partners, create partner accounts, create partner users, and collaborate with them on your channel sales data in a partner community (recommended) or partner portal.
- Use Salesforce to Salesforce if your partner has a Salesforce org of their own.
