What Shopify looks for in a creator
Entrepreneurship and side-hustle creators whose audience starts or runs online stores.
Build a store on camera or run a case study around a real seller, with your affiliate links.
Sample pitch to Shopify

I make [content type] for [audience], and they are exactly the kind of people who buy from Shopify. My last [post/video] on [topic] hit [number], with strong engagement from [who].

Shopify's own program
You do not have to wait on a pitch to earn from Shopify. They run a program you can apply to yourself, and the commission is yours, not ours.
Apply to the Shopify programWhat to charge Shopify
Most creators undercharge because they are guessing. Put your numbers in and you walk into the conversation with a figure you can defend.
Priced as finance / business / tech, which is how Shopify sits in the market. A starting point to anchor your ask, not a quote.

Before you hit send
- Reference one specific, recent Shopify product or campaign so it is obvious you actually know the brand.
- Lead with how your audience matches their customers, not your follower count.
- Pitch one concrete idea with clear deliverables, not a vague 'let's collaborate'.
- Back it with one or two honest numbers from your best recent work.
- Keep it to a few short paragraphs and end with a single, easy ask.
- Send from a real address, double-check the name, and plan one friendly follow-up for about a week later.
