Step 5

Treat the store selector as the current context label, even if only one active affiliation is listed there.

Settings explained

Default store is the store that opens first in a multi-store dashboard.
Tier controls which tools are shown for that store relationship.
Status shows whether the affiliation is active, suspended, or disconnected.
Store selector visibility can remain visible with one active affiliation so the current store context is always clear.
Merchants can lock a tier, promote a partner, or allow automatic changes based on program rules.

Example

A partner may be a Standard Affiliate for one store and a VIP Partner for another. The dashboard adjusts when the partner changes store context, so the storefront builder only appears when the current store relationship includes VIP access.

Tips and limits

Disconnecting from a store removes active access to that store context.
If the current store becomes unavailable, the dashboard can redirect you to the default active store.
Public storefront and public partner profile visibility are separate from private dashboard access.
Checkout attribution, thank-you messaging, and storefront personalization can still depend on the active store relationship behind the scenes, even though the shopper only sees a smooth storefront experience.
