Issue: A Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central partner asked if joining the Shopify Partner Program allows associating with an existing Shopify merchant (on the Advanced plan) to earn incentives/partner revenue.
Clarification: Shopify confirmed referral revenue cannot be earned in this scenario because the merchant is already an existing Shopify customer. Referral revenue applies when partners refer new merchants to Shopify.
Next steps: The partner can still sign up for the Shopify Partner Program and review the Partner Program FAQ (link provided) for program details and other opportunities.
Scope: The context involves assisting with integration between Shopify and Dynamics 365 Business Central; no changes to the customer’s billing or plan were addressed beyond noting the Advanced subscription.
Outcome: Question answered; no partner earnings via association with an existing merchant. Status appears resolved, with an open invitation for follow-up questions.
Media: No images or attachments referenced.
Hi There,
We are an existing Dynamics 365 Business Central Microsoft partner and have a customer that is already on Shopify and using the advanced subscription. We assisting the customer to integrate their Shopify with Business Central.
If we sign up to be a Shopify partner, is there a way we can associate ourselves to this customer and benefit from incentives/partner earnings? Or is this not possible because they are already an existing Shopify customer.
Kind Regards,
Alex
Hi, @AlexHead .
Thank you for posting this question!
It’s not possible to earn the referral revenue in this case, as they are already existing Shopify merchants. However, if you’d like to learn more and sign up for our partner program, then we’d recommend taking a look at the Shopify Partner Program FAQ.
If you have any other questions on this topic, then don’t hesitate to let us know!
