Have at least one partner account and one merchant relationship.

Where to find it

Partner dashboard → Stores

Steps

Step 1

Open Stores in the partner dashboard to see each active store relationship.

Manage Stores pageUse the Stores page to review every active store relationship, see which affiliations are active, and confirm which stores are currently connected to your profile.

Step 2

Review which store is marked as your default store.

Default store controlsCheck which store is currently marked as the default and use Set as Default when you want a different store to open first in the dashboard.

Step 3

Check the tier label shown for each store.

Tier labels on store affiliationsUse the tier labels on each store relationship to confirm whether that store currently gives Standard Affiliate or VIP-level access.

Step 4

Use the store switcher if you need to change context before editing links, payouts, analytics, or storefront settings.

Store switcher menuOpen the store switcher when you need to change the active store context before creating links, checking payouts, viewing analytics, or editing storefront tools.

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.
