My Vendors pay me commission: should they be Accounts?

My Vendors pay me commission: should they be Accounts?

Hi,

I would like ideas on the following business scenario:

I'm a Zoho Consultant (soon to be Zoho Partner), and I offer complementary services through Vendors, for example VoIP telephony, Partner Management platforms, Web design.

These Vendors are Vendors because they have a product/service that I use for my clients, however, they are an Account in the sense that they give me a comission and I don't have to buy their services directly.

How would you set them up?

Thank you
