Make Money Online with the Shopify Partner Program

In this post we will be looking at using the Shopify Partner Program to make money online.

Shopify is a website that allows users to quickly and easily set up online stores and start making money online fast. It was founded in 2004 by Tobias Lutke, and Scott Lake and powers 40,000+  stores. They power shops for people like LMFAO, Evisu Jeans and Foo Fighters.

Not only does Shopify let users earn money online through creating online stores and selling products, but also through their affiliate program. The program offers several ways to earn cash so we will take a look at them below.

Ways To Earn Money With Shopify Partner Program


Affiliates

Anyone can sign up and refer new customers to Shopify and earn a lifetime 20% commission. When the customer pays their Shopify bill, you earn a portion of the monthly revenue and transaction fees.

They provide you with a unique referral link and some useful banners, so you can quickly and easily start promoting the program and eventually make some money. Using the referral link you can monetise your blog, forum posts, emails, you name it.

Designers

Earn money online Creating and selling your own ecommerce template for Shopify stores. One out of every four Shopify customers purchases a template for their online store from the Shopify Theme Store.

Themes must be free or priced over $80 and rounded to the nearest ten. Designers receive 50% of the profits and receive an additional 20% of each sale if they agree to provide full support for their theme. This is  great way to earn revenue from your designs.


Freelancers

Create an online store for your client and earn a lifetime 20% commission. After working on five or more contracts, you are eligible to apply to be listed in the Shopify Experts directory. Once you're listed as an expert, you're almost guaranteed to make money from your templates.

Developers

Make extra money building and selling your own app for Shopify stores using the Shopify API and App Store. More than half of all Shopify stores use at least two paid or free applications to integrate with other services.

Create a new, custom Shopify theme for a client or adapt an existing theme to fit a store's brand. Building a theme only requires knowledge of HTML, CSS, and the easy-to-learn Liquid template language.

Partners Dashboard

The Shopify Partner's Dashboard is where you can keep track of the money you make and other features of your account. Just login and you can see your earnings and change account settings. This is where you also upload your templates, apps and dev shops. Below is a screen shot of the Partners dashboard...


Earnings and Payments 

Credits to Partner accounts are created once customers pay their invoices and are paid out on the following schedule:
  • - For all credits created between the 1st to and including the 15th of the month, payment will occur 5 business days after the 15th day of the month
  • - For all credits created between the 16th to and including the last day of the month, payment will occur 5 business days after the last day of the month
Payments made via PayPal in USD. Any money owed is usually paid out twice monthly as long as your balance is above $25 USD. If the balance is below $25, it gets held until the next payout period.
