As we explored in our previous blog posts, your customers want to hire globally, and most platforms aren't set up to help them do it. You also know that building that capability from scratch is a multi-year, resource-heavy bet that most teams can't justify. So the question now isn't whether to embed, it's what a good embedded solution actually looks like.
That's where Oyster Embedded comes in. Oyster Embedded gives your platform real global employment capabilities, compliant contracts, local payroll, benefits administration, without the operational overhead. You stay focused on your product, own the customer experience, and we handle the country-specific compliance and operations behind the scenes.
Choose Your Velocity: The Oyster Embedded Options
What that looks like in practice depends on your team, your timeline, and how deeply you want to integrate. Whether you need to validate demand this week or build a fully bespoke native experience over the next quarter, we’ve built three distinct paths to help you move at your own speed.
- Quick Links: If you have customers asking to hire in Germany or Brazil today, Quick Links are your fastest route to revenue. This is a co-branded experience that allows you to validate immediate demand without changing your product roadmap. It provides a trusted, verified handoff that maintains brand continuity while Oyster handles the heavy lifting.
- Embeddable Modules: For those looking for a more integrated feel without a big engineering commitment, our Embeddable Modules allow you to keep users within your platform during key decision-making moments. You can drop specific high-value components, like our Employment Cost Calculator, New Hire Form, or Oyster AI, directly into your existing workflows with only a few lines of code. It's the fastest way to provide global team management (e.g. create a new hire, get a cost estimate) exactly where your users need it, requiring only hours or days of development time rather than a full quarter.
- Full API: For platforms that want total control over the user interface, our API offers a completely native experience. This allows for partial to complete white labeling, where the global employment engine sits silently under the hood. You can own the UI/UX, while Oyster powers the complex compliance and payroll logic in the background.
A Commercial Model That Scales With You
We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all billing model. Your partnership should reflect your specific business goals and pricing strategy. To support this, we offer a flexible commercial framework:
- Standard Revenue Share: A simple, revenue share percentage that rewards you as your customers grow. We handle the selling and billing and send you a commission.
- Reselling: We agree on custom pricing and turn over the selling and billing to your team, allowing your organization to own the commercial relationship with customers.
Plus: The Human Support
APIs and embeddable modules are important, but technology is only half the battle. When an employee resigns in France or a tax deadline looms in Japan, you need more than just a system notification. You need someone who actually knows what to do. Embedding Oyster means you also get access to our team of human experts, who step in for the critical moments that no technology can solve.
Every partner also gets a dedicated Partner Manager and specialized developer support to ensure your implementation goes smoothly. With Oyster Embedded, you aren't just getting access to an API; you’re gaining a global operations team working behind the scenes.
Start This Quarter, Not Next Year
Building a global employment infrastructure is a marathon, but your customers are moving at a sprint. With Oyster Embedded, you don't have to sacrifice quality or compliance for the sake of your roadmap. You can provide a seamless, locally-aware experience, complete with accurate contracts and on-time payroll, right now.
