What to expect when applying

  1. Click the storefront apply button if one is visible.
  2. Complete Basic → Social → About → Review with the requested information.
  3. Review your details before choosing Send Request, then look for the confirmation message.
  4. Wait for merchant review. A successful submission does not mean the application has been approved or that dashboard access is ready.

The form examples use the current application extension with sample theme settings. Names, contact details, and profile data are fictional; no application was submitted for these screenshots.

What a public profile means

  • A public profile is a visitor-facing page meant for discovery and trust.
  • Public profile information can differ from what the partner sees privately inside the dashboard.
  • Use Copy link or Share to share the public profile, rather than a private dashboard URL.
  • If a profile or application flow is missing, the merchant may not have published or enabled that feature for the current storefront.

Current behavior

  • The storefront application flow uses the published Partner Apply Button and Partner Application Modal from the live theme.
  • Public partner profiles can expose curated profile information without exposing private dashboard data.

Limitations

  • If the merchant disables applications or removes the theme block, the storefront application entry point will not be available.
  • Submitting a public application does not create immediate dashboard access on its own.
