Inbound requests

Answer merchants from your own inbox.

A merchant opens your profile and sends a hire request. It lands in your inbox with their address as Reply-To, so the conversation is yours from the first reply.

New hire request on your profile

From: A merchant browsing the agencies directory
Reply-To: The merchant's own address
Message: We need our product pages rebuilt before the spring launch. Can you take it on, and at what rate?

Delegated access

Get a mandate, never a seat in their team.

Your client grants you one brand or their whole organization, for a set number of days. You follow its creative production from your own space, and never see their billing, balance, team or conversations.

One brand or the whole organization
Up to 180 days, renewable
Revoked by your client in one click
Only a producer mandate spends credits

Mandates a client can grant

Fit

You fit if you ship Shopify work for clients.

A human reads every application against this bar. It measures the work you have shipped, not the size of your team, which is why senior freelancers qualify.

2 years or more of paid Shopify work
3 production case studies we can open
A public track record: Partner status, reviews, repositories
An honest capacity, counted in stores per quarter
Not a fit if you want a cut of each subscription
Not a fit if you want to resell BoostEcom under your brand

Two doors

Paid for the work, or for the introduction.

The partner program lists you and pays nothing: you bill the work. The referral program pays you for a merchant you introduce. Both can apply to the same client.

	Partner	Referral
Who it is for	Agencies and senior freelancers	Anyone with an account
Commission	None	30%
Duration	Not applicable	12 paid invoices
Review	By hand, case studies read	None, open to any account
What you get	Directory profile, hire requests, client mandates	A 60-day attribution window

The honest part

What the program does not give you.

Six things partners ask about that the program does not include. They are written down so nobody plans a business around them.

No commission
We pay nothing on the stores you work on and take nothing from your invoices. For an introduction, the referral program pays 30% over 12 paid invoices.
No resale
You cannot rebrand and resell BoostEcom. White label is a Custom plan option for the client, not a license for a partner.
No early access
Partners see a feature the day everyone else does.
No private channel
There is no partner Slack. The community runs on Discord, in the open.
No certification
No badge and no exam. A human reads your case studies.
No co-marketing slot
Case studies and joint posts start with a request, once there is real work to show.

FAQ

What partners ask before applying.

Christopher Lasgi

Founder of BoostEcom, on Shopify since 2018

A question this page does not answer? Talk to the founder.

How much does BoostEcom pay me?

Nothing, and that is deliberate. You invoice your clients at your own rate and we take no cut of it. To be paid for an introduction, the referral program pays 30% of what a new merchant pays over their first 12 paid invoices, and any account can join it without review.

Can I also earn the referral commission on a client?

Yes, when the merchant is new to BoostEcom. Bring them through your referral link, collect 30% of what they pay over their first 12 paid invoices, and bill your implementation separately. The ledger refuses one case: a merchant who is you.

I work alone. Can I apply?

Yes. The program covers agencies and senior freelancers, the marketplace keeps a directory for each, and the bar measures the work you have shipped, not your headcount.

How many partners are listed today?

Few, and we would rather say so. BoostEcom's own agency was the first profile in the directory. Joining early puts you among the first names a merchant reads.

Who owns the client's brand and data?

Your client. They grant the mandate, choose its scope and end date, and can narrow or revoke it at any time. You are not a member of their organization, so ending the work takes nothing from them.

Whose credits does my work spend?

Your client's, and only under a producer mandate. The reviewer and viewer mandates read and never spend. A producer mandate generates on the client's balance, which is why the client is the one who chooses it.

I applied. What happens next?

A human reads it and answers by email. Once accepted, you create your listing yourself from the seller dashboard, and it goes live after review.
