Adobe has made it clear: partners who fail to adopt all 10 required APIs by August 30, 2026, will face a mandatory 25% cut to their M1 and M2 rebate payouts for Q3. There is no grace period, no workaround, and no appeal process. The clock is running.
As one of Adobe's leading platform partners, Appxite is already on track. But if you or your platform are not, the financial consequences are real and immediate. We're issuing this notice now so you have every opportunity to act.
All 10 Adobe APIs must be live in production and actively used to book orders. Missing even one puts your full rebate at risk.
What You Stand to Lose
The rebate reduction isn't a warning - it's an automatic penalty applied to every partner who falls short. Here's what that looks like in real numbers:
The 10 APIs You Must Adopt - All of Them
