Creator guide / Earn
Your commission rate
The standard rate, what a higher rate by invitation means, and what happens when a rate changes.
The rate and follower code are on the programme page. The binding table is in the terms, section 3.
The standard rate
Every creator starts on the same rate. It does not change with your sales: there is no ladder to climb and nothing to reach.
| Rate | Commission | Follower code |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 10% | 5% off |
Commission is the percentage that Shopify Collabs records on the order's product total after discounts (the follower code and any shop offer on the same order). Shipping is never part of it, and cancelled orders and refunded amounts do not count.
A higher rate, by invitation
A higher rate may be offered by invitation under the dated terms. If we invite you, we write to you with the rate and the period it covers, and it returns to the standard rate when that period ends unless we agree otherwise in writing. Your welcome email states anything we agreed with you personally.
When your rate changes
We update your offer in Collabs. The new rate applies to new orders from then on. Commission you already earned keeps the rate it was earned at.
Programme notices, including rate changes, go to the members email list. If you leave that list, we still send essential notices by direct email.
Earlier versions of the terms stay in the terms archive.
An example
An order of €100 placed with the 5% follower code comes to €95 of sales. Your 10% commission is €9.50, not €10.00, because the discount comes off first.
On a real print: a medium matte print is €36.95 (price checked 17 October 2026). With the 5% code the customer pays €35.10 for the print, and you earn 10% of that, €3.51. Prices are set in EUR; checkout in Norway and six EU countries shows them converted. Shipping is not part of the amount. If the order is cancelled or refunded, that commission is removed.
The estimator on the programme page does the sum for any amount of sales after discounts.
