Partner Program

Get paid every month for the Shopify stores you already work on.

DriftCharge is a modern subscription platform being built for Shopify merchants. Earn 20 to 40% lifetime recurring commission on every client store you refer. Agencies and freelancers also get listed in our developer directory, where merchants come to hire.

Join the Partner Program Free to join. 2-minute signup. Same terms for everyone.

Two ways in

Pick the path that matches how you actually work.

Same commission on both paths. The difference is whether you take on client work directly.

Path 1

Agency Partner

For freelancers, agency founders, and teams who build and manage Shopify stores for clients.

  • Lifetime commission. 20 to 40% recurring commission on every referred store
  • Directory listing. Get listed in the DriftCharge developer directory, where merchants come to hire
  • Inbound leads. Merchant leads get routed to listed partners
  • Your fees stay yours. Setup, migration, customization: that is your invoice, not ours

Directory listings are reviewed before going live, so merchants can trust every listed partner.

Path 2

Ambassador

For developers and PMs employed at agencies or companies, affiliate marketers, creators, and anyone who influences which apps merchants choose.

  • Same 20–40% commission. Lifetime recurring on every referred store
  • Your own link. A tracked referral link, issued at launch
  • No requirements. No client work required, no quotas, no minimums
  • Recommend and earn. Bring up DriftCharge wherever a project comes up and earn when it converts

No directory listing on this path. You can switch to the Agency path any time you start taking client work.

Why partner

One signup. Three income streams.

Most app partner programs pay you once. This one pays you three ways, and two of them are recurring.

Lifetime commission

Earn a share of every referred store's subscription fee every month, for as long as the app stays installed. Not capped at 36 months. Not a one-time bounty.

Inbound client leads

Merchants who want DriftCharge set up on their store browse our developer directory to find someone to hire. If you're listed, that work comes to you.

Your billable work, 100% yours

Every install you drive is also an implementation project you can charge for. We take no cut of your setup, migration, or customization fees.

How it works

Four steps. The first one takes two minutes.

Zero commitment. Sign up now, earn from launch day.

Sign up now

Fill the form below. Name, email, LinkedIn. Done.

Get your referral link at launch

Every partner gets a tracked link. Any store that installs through it is tagged to you automatically.

Earn from day one

Commission starts the moment your referred store starts paying. Directory listings go live at launch too.

Launch with us (optional)

We'll hand you a ready-made LinkedIn post and graphics for launch day. Share with your network, more reach means more merchants see your directory listing.

Why sign up before launch

Partners get the beta first.

Everyone gets the same commission, whenever they join. What pre-launch partners get is time: access to the DriftCharge beta on a dev store before any merchant sees it.

That means you can test it, break it, learn it, and be the person merchants hire for it on day one, while everyone else is reading the docs for the first time.

Beta access means

  • Full app on a development store before public launch
  • Your feedback shapes what we build and fix first
  • You evaluate it properly before staking your name on a recommendation
  • First-mover position for client work when we go live
  • A ready-made LinkedIn launch post and graphics, if you want to share

Commission

20–40%

Recurring, on every referred store, for the life of the install.

Same rules for every partner, whenever you join. Everyone starts at the same base rate, and the rate steps up with the number of active stores you've referred. The exact ladder is published openly at launch. No gated terms, no fine print—just a fair rate that grows with your referrals.

Lifetime. Not capped at 36 months.

Questions

Answers before you ask

What is DriftCharge?

A subscription platform for Shopify being built around flexibility, retention, and developer experience, including AI churn risk scoring, smart cancellation flows, and automated winback generation. It's designed to fix the limitations developers keep running into with legacy subscription apps.

What does joining cost?

Nothing, ever. And we reply to every signup within 5 business days.

I'm a developer employed at an agency, not a freelancer. Can I join?

Yes, the Ambassador path is built for you. You get a referral link and earn the same commission on any store you refer, including your employer's clients if you're the one recommending the stack. The directory listing is for freelancers and agencies who take on client work directly, and you can switch paths any time.

Do I need clients right now?

No. Sign up, get your link at launch, use it whenever a project comes up. There are no quotas and no minimums.

How much do I actually earn?

Between 20% and 40% of each referred store's monthly DriftCharge fee, every month, for as long as the store stays on DriftCharge. Everyone starts at the same base rate and moves up the ladder as their referred stores grow in number. The exact rates and steps are published at launch, openly, for everyone.

How is tracking handled?

Through your unique referral link, issued at launch. Attribution is automatic. No forms to fill per client, no manual claims. For hands-on installs where a link can't track, there will be a simple client registration form as backup.

How do I get into the developer directory?

Tick the directory box in the form. Before the directory goes live, we review each application to confirm real Shopify client work, so merchants can trust every listing. That review is what makes a listing worth having.

Do I have to post about DriftCharge on launch day?

No. It's a checkbox on the form, not a requirement. If you tick it, we'll send you a ready-made LinkedIn post and graphics the week of launch, and you can use them, tweak them, or skip them. Commission and directory listing work exactly the same either way.

When does it launch?

We're in active development. Partners get progress updates monthly and beta access first. Join the program and you'll know before anyone else.

Does DriftCharge have an API or developer platform?

It's planned, and beta partners will shape it. We're building the core app first, and the API layer comes after, which means the developers who join now are the ones we'll ask what it should look like before anything is frozen. Sign up and mention your interest in the LinkedIn field or when we reach out, and you'll be first in line when API access opens.

I'm building a Shopify app. Can we partner or integrate with DriftCharge?

We'd like to hear from you now, even though integrations open after launch. We're keeping a list of apps that want to connect with DriftCharge, and it will decide which integrations we build first and who we co-launch them with. Message us on LinkedIn with what your app does. Early conversations get first integrations.

Same terms for everyone. The beta is open now.

Sign up in two minutes. Get your link at launch, and the beta before it.
