Agencies & partners
For studios and freelancers who launch stores for clients. Create the store, transfer it when it’s ready, stay on as a collaborator — and earn commission while the client is subscribed.
Agency life
Logging in as the client means no audit trail and an awkward conversation when you part ways.
The store is built on your account, and moving it to the client is a support ticket.
You build it once, get paid once, and support it for free afterwards.
How SellOrchard helps
Each block is a separate part of the program; most link to the partner pages rather than a product feature.
Client stores & handover
Create a client store from the partner dashboard on a free trial, then transfer it when it’s ready.
Collaborator access
Part of Team & security
Request access to an existing store; the owner approves it and chooses which areas you can manage.
Commission & payouts
Earn your tier’s rate on the net subscription revenue of stores you created or referred.
White-label
White-label partners run the merchant admin under their own name, logo, colours and domain.
Partner directory
Certified partners can be listed in the public partner directory with their services and website.
Apps & API
Build integrations for a client’s store with the REST API and webhooks, or publish an app to the marketplace.
