BYOK
Bring Your Own Gemini API Key
Connect your own Google Gemini API key so generation runs against your own quota. Available on Agency Pro Premium and Agency White Premium.
BYOK & White Label
Run MerchantDrafts on your own API key and your own brand
BYOK lets Agency Pro and Agency White operators connect their own Gemini API key so generation runs against their own quota rather than the hosted credit pool. White Label goes one step further — Agency White operators can replace the MerchantDrafts display name, logo, support email, and primary colour with their own agency branding so the plugin appears as their own product inside the client's WordPress dashboard.
01
Connect your Gemini key
Add your own Google Gemini API key in MD Settings. Generation switches from the hosted credit pool to your own key so usage limits and costs are fully under your control.
02
Apply agency branding
Set your agency display name, upload your logo, add your support email, and choose a primary colour in the White Label tab. The plugin appearance updates across the client's WordPress admin.
03
Deploy across client sites
Run MerchantDrafts across multiple client WooCommerce stores with your own key active and your own branding showing — the full content generation workflow, under your agency identity.

What it enables
Direct API key control and full agency branding
BYOK removes the hosted credit dependency entirely for operators who want to manage generation cost through their own Gemini account. White Label removes the MerchantDrafts identity from the client-facing plugin so agencies can deploy it as a branded tool under their own name. Both capabilities are configured in MD Settings and take effect immediately across the active installation.
White Label
Full agency branding replacement
Replace MerchantDrafts name, logo, support email, and primary colour with your agency identity. The plugin appears as your own branded tool in the client's WordPress admin. Agency White only.
Plan gating
Available on Agency plans
BYOK requires Agency Pro Premium or above. White Label is exclusive to Agency White Premium — the top-tier plan for agencies deploying MerchantDrafts across client sites.
Own API quota
BYOK moves generation cost to your own Gemini account so hosted credit limits no longer constrain high-volume agency workflows.
Agency display name
The plugin name shown to clients in the WordPress admin updates to your agency name — no developer access or custom plugin builds required.
Logo and colour
Upload your agency logo and set a primary colour so the plugin visual identity matches your brand rather than MerchantDrafts throughout the client's admin.
Support email
Set your own support email address so client-facing help links and support contact details point to your agency rather than MerchantDrafts support.
Before
Standard SaaS tool deployed in a client account
- Clients see the MerchantDrafts name and branding across every screen of the plugin in their WordPress admin.
- Generation runs against a shared hosted credit pool with usage limits that constrain high-volume agency workloads.
- No way to present the tool as a proprietary agency product or service without building a custom plugin.
- API costs are bundled into the plan rather than managed directly through the agency's own AI account.
After
BYOK & White Label on Agency plans
- Connect your Gemini API key so generation runs against your own quota with no hosted credit limits on high-volume workflows.
- Replace MerchantDrafts name, logo, support email, and colour so the plugin appears as your agency's branded product in the client's WordPress admin.
- Deploy across multiple client sites with your own identity consistently applied without custom development work.
- Manage API cost visibility directly through your own Gemini account rather than through a hosted credit pool.
BYOK and White Label are configured separately.
BYOK is available on Agency Pro and above. White Label is only available on Agency White. Both are configured independently in MD Settings and can be activated without affecting the other.
Core benefits
Built for agencies deploying MerchantDrafts across client sites
BYOK and White Label together give agencies full control over both the cost model and the client-facing identity of MerchantDrafts — without requiring custom development or a separate branded plugin build.
01
Deploy as your own branded product
Replace MerchantDrafts branding with your agency identity so clients interact with a tool that looks and feels like your own service — not a third-party plugin.
02
No custom plugin development needed
Set agency display name, logo, support email, and primary colour directly in MD Settings — no custom plugin build, child plugin, or developer handoff required to apply agency branding.
03
Own API quota, no credit limits
BYOK removes the hosted credit ceiling for high-volume agency workflows. Generation runs against your Gemini account directly and costs are managed through your own Google Cloud billing.
04
Scales across multiple client sites
White Label and BYOK settings apply per installation. Deploy across Agency White's included site licences with consistent branding and your own API key across all client WordPress accounts.
05
Support contact under your own name
Set your agency support email in White Label settings so client-facing help links and support contact details route to your team rather than MerchantDrafts support.
06
Full generation workflow still applies
BYOK and White Label are configuration layers over the full MerchantDrafts workflow — all generation, review, and writeback features continue to work exactly as standard with the agency settings active.
