Start free. Pay a share of the sales creators and affiliates bring.

On the order subtotal of orders attributed to creators: what the shopper paid for the products, after discounts and excluding VAT, sales tax and shipping. Gift cards count only if the store pays commission on gift cards, and subscription renewals only if it pays commission on renewals. A $100 sale with a 5% creator commission costs $5 to the creator and, on Free, $4 to Partnely. Orders nobody sent cost nothing, and reversed orders carry no fee.

It lets a program start at no monthly cost and keeps the paid plans low. We earn more only when creators bring in more sales.

Every program and every platform, and the tools a program is run with. Tracked links and coupon codes, orders matched from Shopify, WooCommerce, Stripe or any other checkout, commission rules in the order you set them, rates per creator, per product and per collection, campaigns with the content handed in for review, groups, bulk actions and notes on the people in the program, your own questions on the join form, reports by creator, product, code and day with a CSV from every table, program emails that send themselves in the store's own logo and colour, the program page creators join on, and one ledger with every click, order, approval and payment. A paid plan lowers the percentage and adds the brand's own clauses, webhooks and Slack, the store's own wording in those emails, and, from Growth, the REST API and risk flags.

Yes. The ambassador program gives creators products, a fee or store credit for the posts they make each month, with commission beside it only if you want it. Each creator signs the brief before anything is asked and hands in each post in its monthly slot, and the fees are paid with the next payout from your own PayPal. It is on every plan, Free included, beside the affiliate program or on its own.

From Essential up, yes: a signed webhook to an address of the store's own, or a message in a Slack channel, as creators join and as orders are recorded, approved, reversed or paid. Every plan can read the same events in the tracking log, and every plan can post orders to the order API.

One monthly invoice: the plan price plus the percentage on the orders approved in that month, charged to the card on file under Settings, Billing. A store connected through our Shopify app is billed by Shopify instead: the plan is chosen on Shopify's own plan page, and the plan price and the percentage are charged on the store's Shopify bill, with no card and no invoice from us. An approved order is final, so a refund after approval does not change the invoice. Enterprise is billed on invoice, for a store not connected through our Shopify app.

Automatically, through the store's own PayPal. Connect your PayPal business account under Payouts before creators join, and every creator is paid on your payout schedule straight from your PayPal balance, with PayPal's own answer on each payment written back to the ledger you and the creator both read. It is the one way a payout is made, so what the ledger says is what PayPal did. Partnely never holds that money and takes no fee on payouts; PayPal's own fee is the store's.

Only if they want to. Joining programs, links, codes, campaigns, the page and payouts are free. Pro, $9 a month, is for linking outside the platform (any address on the page and on Replies buttons) and running Replies at volume. Nothing they pay changes what a brand pays.

Tracking never stops and no order goes unrecorded. Active creators and tracked orders are counted against the plan and never cut off: one more creator joins and one more order is recorded, and Billing shows the month's count so you can move up when it fits. A feature with a monthly number, say the eleventh automation or the sixth email campaign on Essential, asks for the next plan; everything else keeps running.

Yes. One login can own several stores, so an agency runs every client from the same account with a switcher, and each store has its own team: give a colleague or an agency their own login with a role. Manager runs the program, Finance handles orders, payouts and billing, and Viewer reads only; the API key and the team stay with the owner, and billing is the owner's and the Finance seat's.

Shopify does. Once the app is installed through Shopify the store picks its plan on Shopify's own plan page and pays on the Shopify bill, with the same plans, the same percentage and the same trial as everywhere else; there is no card at Partnely and no invoice of ours. The percentage is worked out here to the cent and reported to Shopify once a day. A store already paying by card keeps that card subscription until it ends and moves to the Shopify bill then, so nothing is ever charged twice.

Yes, and you never have to. A points program gives the store's own buyers points on every order, rewards to spend them on and a page of their own, and customer referrals give a buyer a link and a single-use code for a friend, and a reward when that friend orders. Both run beside the creator program, in the store's own colours, and the creator program works exactly the same if you leave them switched off.

Each store has its own team: give a colleague or an agency a login with a role. Manager runs the program but not billing, the API key or the team; Finance handles orders, payouts and billing; Viewer reads and exports and changes nothing. Any login can turn on two-step sign-in with an authenticator app, a device is remembered for thirty days, and a store's owner can require it for every seat.

All of them. Shopify, WooCommerce and Stripe send us orders directly: Shopify through our app and WooCommerce through our plugin, which do their own setup. Every other store uses the same tracking code and order API on every plan; the rest of the REST API comes with Growth.
