How to Become a Shopify Partner

A Shopify Partner account is free and unlocks the tools developers, designers and agencies use to build on Shopify. If you plan to work on Shopify stores, this is step one.

What it unlocks

• Unlimited development stores to build and test on.
• Access to manage client stores via collaborator requests.
• The ability to build and sell themes and apps.
• Referral earnings for stores you help launch.

How to sign up

Create an account on the Shopify Partners site, complete your profile with your business details and services, and you can start building development stores right away. A complete, professional profile also helps you show up in the Partner directory.

Partner vs Certified

Anyone can become a Partner; Shopify Certified status signals verified experience and is a stronger trust signal for clients. Experts Cabin is a Shopify Certified Partner — proof of real, tested experience building on the platform.
