Clinch Partners terms

1. Commission

You earn 20% of what Clinch actually bills each store you referred: usage fees on orders that used a Clinch code and, where it applies, the Pro or Growth monthly fee. Net of refunds, credits and amounts Shopify retains. For 24 months from the first charge to that store. These founding terms apply to the first five partners who activate a store. Terms for new partners may change, never retroactively for stores already registered.

2. Payment

Quarterly, by PayPal or Wise, once your balance is above $50. Balances below $50 roll over, and are paid after 12 months whatever the amount.

3. For your client

A store you refer is free to install and pays no commission for its first 30 days, like every store on Clinch. It also gets setup with the founder and a report at day 30 and day 60. Clinch works best on stores with 10,000 or more sessions a month, in the US, Canada, the UK or Australia, with product costs in Shopify and no other exit popup running; smaller stores can install too, and count as referred all the same.

4. Referral

Register the store's domain before it installs. A registration lasts 60 days. One partner per store; the first registration counts. Stores that already had Clinch do not count. If a store uninstalls, commission stops; if it reinstalls within six months, it returns to the same partner.

5. How results are described

Orders that used a Clinch code are attributed orders, not proof of extra sales. Until the store's control group shows an effect, describe them that way to your client. Do not post Clinch codes on coupon sites or bid on the Clinch brand in ads.

6. What Clinch commits to

A reply within one business day, a monthly summary of your stores, and 30 days' notice of any price change that affects your clients.

7. Ending

Either side can end this by email. Commission already earned is paid. Future commission stops if these terms are broken.
