Expert Directory

[tatrang22]

Hello everyone,

I'm a Shopify theme and app developer and currently a Shopify Partner. I'm looking to expand my work by joining the Shopify Expert Directory. To do that, I need to meet certain requirements, including successfully completing 5 referrals or working with at least 50 active merchants in the last 12 months.

I have a few questions and would appreciate any advice:

1. How do I achieve the 5 successful referrals? Is submitting a lead through the Partner Dashboard the only way, or are there other methods?

2. Considering that some of the required information is quite sensitive (like revenue details, motivations for upgrades), what's the best way to obtain this data from clients?

3.How long does it typically take for the status of my referrals to be processed and updated on the dashboard?

Any insights or shared experiences would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!
