Support your clients with our tools. Stay stable with our partnership.

ShopStable partners build and look after websites for local businesses, charge their own fees, and earn a share of every plan payment for as long as the client stays.

  • Everything to build and keep up their site. The Website Builder, hosting, demo links, one-step hand-over, and a portal with every client site in one place.
  • Charge your own rate. Bill clients what you like for design, setup, and upkeep. We never take a cut of your fees.
  • 10% of every payment, every month. 15% on yearly plans, a brand-new client's whole first month as a bonus, and payouts to your bank each month.
  • Priority support from day one. Training the day you are accepted, and our team behind you whenever a client site needs it.
  • Your own site gets cheaper, then free. Half price once 3 clients are paying, free at 6.

Free to join. Applying takes about three minutes.

Questions partners ask.

The full wording is in the partner program terms, version 2026-10-23.

How much do I earn?

10% of every monthly payment a client makes, or 15% of a yearly plan paid to you over twelve months. Commission is on what the client actually pays, after discounts and before tax.

What is the first-month bonus?

When you bring a business that has not paid ShopStable in the last 90 days, your first commission is their whole first month instead of a percentage of it. For a yearly plan that is one twelfth of the year.

When am I paid?

Monthly, to your bank through Stripe, covering what you earned the month before. We aim for early in the month; weekends, bank holidays, and processing checks can move the date. Balances under $20 roll into the next payout.

How long do I earn from a client?

For as long as you work with them. Commission starts one month after you partner and ends when your access to their website ends; the month it ends in is paid in full.

Can I bring clients who already use ShopStable?

Yes. They earn you the full rate from the month after they partner with you. The first-month bonus is only for brand-new customers.

What if a client gets a refund?

Commission on a refunded or lost-dispute payment is taken back from a future payout. Nothing is ever collected from your bank.

How does my own site get cheaper?

1 paying client: full price; 3 paying clients: 50% off; 6 or more paying clients: free. Counted once a month from the clients that earned you commission, and applied to your main business.

Who can join?

You build, maintain, or advise on websites for local businesses. You are based in the United States with a US bank account. You own a ShopStable business account (free to create) to use as your main business. You agree to tell customers you are a paid ShopStable partner when you recommend us. You pass a short interview with our team.

Apply in about three minutes.
