What you get
Built for agencies who stay involved after the referral.
A referral link on its own isn’t a partnership. This is what comes with it.
Recurring revenue share
Paid every month for as long as your client stays on the platform — not a one-off bounty at signup.
Dedicated partner manager
A named person who knows your book of clients, handles escalations and helps you scope the first few referrals.
Priority support for your clients
Referred accounts go into a priority queue, so a tracking problem on your client’s Black Friday isn’t sitting behind a ticket backlog.
Co-marketing that actually ships
Joint case studies, webinars and campaigns built around your clients’ results, with our team doing the production.
Early access to new features
You see what’s coming before it launches, so you can plan client roadmaps around it instead of reacting.
Partner directory listing
A profile in the partner directory, in front of brands actively looking for an agency that knows attribution.
What your clients get
You only refer what makes you look good.
What changes for a brand the month after you bring them across.
Better ad performance
Higher match quality on every event sent to Meta, Google and TikTok — so the platforms optimise on real buyers and CAC comes down.
More revenue from email and SMS
Anonymous browsers resolved to a known profile, so Klaviyo flows fire for people the pixel never identified.
Server-side tracking that holds up
Conversions captured from the server, independent of ad blockers, ITP and consent banners.
Cross-device identity resolution
Every event matched against a 750M+ device graph, so one customer stays one customer across devices and sessions.
How it works

Before you apply
Questions agencies ask first.
Who can become a partner?
Agencies, consultancies and freelancers working with DTC brands on Shopify. There’s no minimum client count to apply — the tiers are what you grow into, not what you need to start.
How does the revenue share work?
You earn a share of what your referred clients pay, every month they stay on the platform. The share increases as you move up tiers. Current rates are shared during onboarding.
How do I track my referrals?
Every partner gets a branded referral link and a portal showing which clients signed up through you, what they’re on and what you’ve earned.
Is there a minimum commitment?
No. There’s no contract, no quota and no cost to join. If you never refer anyone, nothing happens.
What support do my clients get?
The same onboarding and support as any direct customer, plus a priority queue once you’re an Agency Partner or above. Your partner manager handles escalations on your behalf.
Can I white-label Upstack?
Not today. Upstack is sold under our own brand. You get co-branded collateral, case-study templates and partner materials to use with your clients instead.
How do payouts work?
Monthly, via Stripe on net-30 terms. You’re paid the month after your referred clients’ subscription revenue is billed.
Ready to grow together?
Apply once, and start earning recurring revenue while your clients get tracking that actually holds up.
