How the Subi partner program works for agencies and developers

What you earn when a store that came through your link pays Subi, and how to apply.

If you build or run Shopify stores for clients, you can earn when a client's store installs Subi through your partner link and pays for it.

Run your own store on Subi and want to recommend Subi to another merchant? That is a separate program with its own terms: How do I refer other merchants to Subi and earn commissions?

What it pays

  • $25 once a store that installed through your link has paid a subscription fee for a second month.

  • 25% of the subscription fees that store pays Subi, for as long as it keeps paying.

Both parts are worked out on the subscription fee only. Transaction fees count toward neither one.

The $25 can be withdrawn as soon as it is payable. The 25% on a store's first twelve months is settled once, when those twelve months close, and after that it is owed month by month. You can ask for a withdrawal from your dashboard once you are owed $10 or more.

How a store is credited to you

  1. Once you are approved, your partner dashboard at partners.subi.co gives you your own link.

  2. Send your client the link. It takes them to Subi's page on the Shopify App Store.

  3. Your client opens the link in the browser they will install from, and installs Subi on their store from that page.

Your dashboard should then list the store, and whether it has started paying. Credit comes from the App Store listing's analytics, which can miss a visit, for example when cookies are declined. If a store that came through your link doesn't show up after a couple of days, write to [email protected] with its address and we'll look into it.

A store counts once it has finished onboarding and pays for a qualifying plan.

A few things to know

  • A store that already has Subi installed isn't credited by your link. Only an install made through a link counts, and credit follows the first link behind the install.

  • Installs by you or your staff, stores you or your staff own, and companies you control don't count, and neither do installs arranged mainly to earn a commission.

  • Wherever you share your link, say right before or next to it that you earn from it, for example "Affiliate link" or "#ad".

  • Before your first payout we need your tax form and payment details. Commission on an install that is cancelled, refunded or charged back is reversed.

  • A store credited to you before September 21, 2026 stays on the terms it started with, and your dashboard shows each store under its own terms.

The full rules are in the Affiliate Program Terms.
