Shopify Description
Shopify is a commerce platform founded in Canada in 2006 that lets businesses build an online store and manage sales across several channels. Merchants can start from ready-made themes or AI-assisted setup, then handle payments, fulfilment, point-of-sale retail and international selling from one dashboard. The platform also connects stores to social channels and marketplaces so products can be sold where shoppers already browse. Shopify offers a free trial, which makes it easy for new merchants to test before paying. For affiliates, the programme suits business, ecommerce and creator-economy content, such as guides to starting an online shop, platform comparisons and tutorials. Referrals are paid when a new merchant signs up for a qualifying paid plan. Merchants should compare monthly fees, transaction charges and app costs.

Shopify's Referral Program
The Shopify Affiliate Program pays a fixed bounty for each qualified merchant referral, listed at $25-$150 per sale; the official page states up to $150 USD per referral. It runs on Impact, with a 30-day cookie. Payouts are made by PayPal or bank transfer. Shopify reviews applications, so publishers with established audiences in business or ecommerce topics are most likely to be accepted.
