Last reviewed: Apr 13, 2026UI path: Open a storefront Apply as a Partner button if you are applying to one store, or open the Partner sign-up page if you want a general profile.

Before you start

  • Use the email address you want connected to your partner profile.

Where to find it

Open a storefront Apply as a Partner button if you are applying to one store, or open the Partner sign-up page if you want a general profile.

Steps

Step 1

If a merchant has published Apply as a Partner on their storefront, use that button to submit a store-specific application to that merchant.

Step 2

If you want a broader partner profile that merchants can invite later, open the general partner sign-up form instead.

Step 3

Use the same email address for either path if you want your future access to stay tied to one partner identity.

Step 4

When you are ready to sign in, open the login page and enter that same email address.

Settings explained

  • A storefront Apply as a Partner submission is store-specific and goes into that merchant's Pending Requests queue.
  • The general partner sign-up form creates a broader partner profile that merchants can later invite or approve into programs.
  • Login uses a one-time email link instead of a password.
  • Your final dashboard view depends on which stores approve or invite you and whether you are a Standard Affiliate or VIP Partner.

Example

A creator first clicks Apply as a Partner on one merchant storefront, then later completes the general partner sign-up flow with the same email so other merchants can invite them without creating a second profile.

Tips and limits

  • Always use the same email for signup, application, and login to avoid duplicate profiles.
  • If a merchant tells you to apply through their storefront, use the store button instead of assuming the generic sign-up form will place you in that program automatically.
  • If a storefront shows the application button but rejects submission, the merchant may have closed applications even though the theme block is still visible.
