Why doesn’t Tallyfy offer complete white-labeling?

While Tallyfy provides extensive branding customization options, complete white-labeling (hiding all references to Tallyfy) isn’t technically or operationally feasible. We’ve maximized customization within realistic constraints.

Here’s why full white-labeling doesn’t work:

Technical limitations

  • Security compliance constraints: Our HSTS compliance and BIMI compliance are specifically tied to the tallyfy.com domain. These critical security protocols cannot function on custom domains.
  • JavaScript library restrictions: Several essential JavaScript libraries and security components can only execute properly on the tallyfy.com domain for security and licensing reasons.
  • Clickjacking protection: We implement security controls that prevent logins and signups outside our domain, protecting users from phishing attacks.

Operational realities

  • Documentation access: This user manual you’re reading is hosted on tallyfy.com. Your users will inevitably need access to help documentation, revealing Tallyfy as the underlying platform.
  • Support interactions: Unless you field 100% of customer support requests internally, users will contact Tallyfy support when they need help - immediately revealing the true vendor.
  • Compliance transparency: When clients request SOC 2 Type 2 compliance documentation (as they should), our certifications are assigned to Tallyfy, Inc. You cannot hide Tallyfy’s existence anywhere in the security and compliance lifecycle.
  • Billing transparency: While official Tallyfy partners can use the “unbilled domains” feature to exclude their own consulting domain from client billing, the invoicing and billing interface still clearly shows “Tallyfy” as the service provider.

What Tallyfy does offer

We’ve taken branding customization to its maximum practical extent:

  • Visual branding: Add your logo, colors, and custom CSS throughout the platform
  • Email customization: Configure custom SMTP to send emails through your own email server
  • Partner programs: Our Ambassador program provides additional branding options for qualified partners

The reality is that attempting to “pretend” a white-labeled SaaS product is made by another entity is neither sustainable nor honest. Tallyfy will be revealed as the vendor at some point in the customer relationship - whether through support interactions, compliance requests, or technical requirements.

How can I set up custom email sending (SMTP) in Tallyfy?

You can configure Tallyfy to send all emails via your company’s dedicated email server instead of Tallyfy’s default email service. This configuration provides superior brand consistency and enhanced organizational control over email communications. Learn more: Customize email sending.
