Building and Handing Over a Client Site#

You do not need your client to have a ShopStable account before you start. You can build the site yourself, show it to them, and hand it over when it is ready to go live.

Start a client site#

From your portal, choose Start a client site. ShopStable creates a business under your login, already linked to you as the partner. It does not count toward the limit on businesses you can own.

Building is free. Publishing needs a paid plan, which the client chooses when the site is handed over.

Show the client a demo#

Create a demo link for the site from your portal. It shows the unpublished site exactly as it will look, and it keeps working until you turn it off. Send it to the client, gather their changes, and repeat.

Hand the site over#

When the client is ready, hand it over to their email address. They create a ShopStable account if they do not have one, accept the handover, and become the owner of the business and its billing. You keep partner access to the website, exactly as if they had signed up through your link.

Your commission on this client starts one month after the handover, as long as they are on a paid plan. Because they are a brand-new paying customer, your first commission month is their whole first month's payment.

Until the handover#

A site you are still holding earns nothing, does not count toward your own-site discount, and belongs to you. If the client never takes it over, nothing is owed by anyone.
