Hello all, I have a shopify partner account. Recently shopify offering merchants $1 plan for first three months. But if I develop a store for my client from my partner account then they cannot avail this offer of $1. So, my question is that how to get benefit as a shopify partner from merchant store.

Hi!

 

I'd recommend you to just build the store from your partner account. After you're done building, you can transfer the store to your client. They will however pay the normal price from the start. This is good for you for your affiliate share, but also good for your client who had the option to fully build the store without paying. 

 

The 1$ promotion is not a valid discount when transferring from a partner store because the merchant didn't have to pay for development time anyway.

Hi there,

 

The 1$ for the first 3 months is only for customers that are trying to build their website by themself without a partner. With a partner they will be able to get a much longer "free trial" so to say. The 1$ is actually a prolonged trial period.

 

So I'd say, don't worry about the 1$ trial where you can have a "unlimited" trial via a partner account.

Thanks ThomKnepperm, but how to start selling with partner store because they need to get subscription to start selling products. But in $1 they can start at very first day.
