Questions
How does a shop get counted as mine?
The shop types your code on the app's Plan page before its first payment. Your link shows the code and copies it for them. Shopify doesn't pass links into apps, so the code is what counts.
Do I need a Shopify Partner account?
No. Anyone who helps Shopify shops can apply.
What do I see about the shops I send?
A shortened shop address, the app, its plan and what you earned. Never the shop's customers or orders.
What if a shop uninstalls?
You keep what you earned. Earnings stop with the shop's payments.
Can I use my code on my own shop?
No. Own shops, test stores and shops that had the app before don't earn.
Can I run ads?
Yes, but never on the words "Shopify" or "RNS", and add "Shopify" as a negative keyword.
What about tax?
You handle your own. If the law requires us to report what we pay you, we'll ask for the details we need.
Can I recruit other partners under me?
No. One level only, no sub-affiliates: partners earn only on shops they refer themselves.
