Partnership Program
Partnerships That Send Work Both Ways
We partner with agencies, platforms, consultants and app developers who serve online retailers but do not want to build an eCommerce delivery team. You keep the relationship. We do the work, or we send the work to you. Either way it is documented, revenue-shared and referenceable.

Why Partner With Us
What you get that a referral fee does not cover
Most partner programs are a commission rate and a contact form. These are the six things partners tell us actually mattered once work started moving.
We will not poach your client
Every agency and white-label agreement carries a non-solicitation clause that runs 24 months past the last invoice. We have never breached one, and we will put it in writing before you send us a name.
Named people, not a pool
Your account gets the same strategist and specialists every month. You will know their names, see them on calls, and reach them in the shared channel without going through an account manager first.
Payouts you can audit
Referral share is calculated on revenue we actually collected, shown line by line in a monthly statement. If a client churns or short-pays, you see exactly why the number moved.
A 48-hour clock on every intro
Referrals get a first call within two business days. You get told what happened either way — scoped, deferred or declined — so you are never the last to know about your own introduction.
Six disciplines under one roof
Store management, SEO, paid media, CRO, retention and development sit in one team. You are not stitching four vendors together on your client’s behalf.
We say no in front of you
If a referral is not a fit — wrong stage, wrong margin, wrong expectations — we tell you before we tell them, with the reasoning. Bad-fit engagements cost you more reputation than they earn us fees.
Working Stack
The tools we are in every day
If your product is on this list, an integration conversation is short. If it is not, tell us what it does and we will say honestly whether our clients would use it.

The Process
How a partnership actually starts
Five steps from first call to first statement. Most partners are enabled and taking referrals inside three weeks.
01
Intro call
Thirty minutes. We map what you sell, who you sell it to, and where our work would sit next to yours. If there is no overlap we say so on that call rather than scheduling a second one.
02
Terms in writing
Program, rate, payment timing, non-solicitation and cancellation, all on two pages. Nothing is verbal and nothing is retroactive.
03
Enablement pack
Scope templates, the qualifying questions we use, pricing bands, current case studies and the objections you will hear. You should be able to answer a client without calling us.
04
First engagement
Your referral gets a call within 48 hours and a scope within five business days. You are copied on the scope and can join the kickoff.
05
Statements and reviews
Monthly statements with the collected revenue behind every payout, and a quarterly review of what converted, what stalled and what we should stop sending each other.
Our Side of It
What we commit to, in writing
A partnership is only worth having if the obligations run both ways. These six are in every agreement we sign, and every one of them is enforceable rather than aspirational.
- We will not solicit your clients. Non-solicitation runs 24 months past the final invoice, on every agency and white-label agreement.
- Your referral hears from us in 48 hours. And you hear the outcome, whether we scoped it, deferred it or turned it down.
- Payouts are calculated on collected revenue. Monthly statements show the invoices behind the number, not just the number.
- No exclusivity, no minimums, no lock-in. Either side can end the arrangement with 30 days notice and no clawback on earned share.
- We decline bad-fit referrals openly. You get the reasoning before your client does, so you are never contradicted in front of them.
- Your data stays yours. Client lists, pricing and scope documents are never used for our own outbound. Ever.
Partner FAQs
Questions partners ask before signing
Seven things worth settling before the first introduction. Anything else, the intro call covers.
Who is the referral program actually a fit for?
Consultants, fractional CMOs, accountants, 3PLs, freelance designers and developers — anyone whose clients run online stores and periodically ask who should manage or market them. There is no volume requirement. Partners who send us one good introduction a year are treated the same as partners who send us one a month.
How much do partners earn, and when are they paid?
Referral partners earn 22% of what we collect from the client for twelve months, paid monthly in arrears once the client’s invoice clears. Affiliate and creator partners earn a flat $500 per engagement that reaches month two. Agency and white-label partners do not earn a share — they buy delivery at a wholesale rate and keep the margin between that and what they bill their client.
Will you contact or take over my client?
No, and it is a contractual term rather than a promise. Agency and white-label agreements carry a 24-month non-solicitation clause covering the client and their staff. On white-label engagements we work under your brand, in your project tool, and we do not introduce ourselves as a separate vendor.
What happens if you decide a referral is not a fit?
We tell you first, with the reason — usually stage, margin structure or expectations that no agency could meet. You decide how to handle it with your client. Where we can, we point them at a better-suited option, including agencies we do not own any relationship with.
Can we co-market, publish case studies or run webinars together?
Yes, and technology partners in particular should expect to. We co-write case studies, run joint webinars and publish integration documentation. Every case study is approved by the merchant before publication, and we do not use client names or figures without written sign-off.
How do white-label engagements handle reporting and client calls?
Reporting is delivered in your template with your branding, on your reporting cycle. Our specialists can join client calls as members of your team, stay silent as observers, or skip them entirely — your call, agreed at kickoff and changeable at any point.
Is there a cost or a commitment to becoming a partner?
No fee to join and no minimum commitment in any of the four programs. Either side can end the arrangement with 30 days written notice, and referral share already earned on active clients continues to be paid for the remainder of its twelve months.
Let’s find out if this is worth both our time
Thirty minutes, no deck. Tell us who your clients are and what they keep asking for, and we will tell you honestly which of the four programs fits — or that none of them do.
