# Partner Integration

> Build a trading experience on Polymarket US as an Introducing Broker or Independent Software Vendor.

This section is for **Introducing Brokers (IBs)** and **Independent Software Vendors (ISVs)** building a trading experience on Polymarket US. It teaches the **workflow** — how to onboard yourself, onboard and verify your users, fund their trading, place orders, and monitor activity — and points you to the exact APIs and streams for each step.

> [!NOTE]
>
> **New here?** Read [Your Role](https://docs.polymarket.us/partners/your-role.md) and the [Platform Model](https://docs.polymarket.us/partners/platform-model.md) first, then follow the [Integration Journey](https://docs.polymarket.us/partners/integration-journey.md).

## Which partner are you?

> [card] [ISV](https://docs.polymarket.us/partners/partner-types/isvs.md)
>
> An Independent Software Vendor provides the software experience for retail traders. Not a broker.

> [card] [IB](https://docs.polymarket.us/partners/partner-types/ibs.md)
>
> An Introducing Broker integrates the same way, plus carries CFTC/NFA regulatory obligations.

> [card] [FCM](https://docs.polymarket.us/partners/partner-types/fcms.md)
>
> A Futures Commission Merchant connects and clears differently. See the FCM guide.

> [!NOTE]
>
> IBs and ISVs **integrate identically** — same APIs and same workflow. The difference is legal classification. FCMs are handled separately.
