Affiliate Program for Ecwid Users and Enthusiasts

This program works for everyone: Ecwid store owners, website owners, bloggers, freelancers, and active social media users. Initial investment is not required to become an Ecwid Affiliate, and you’ll earn a percentage from each new paid store.

How It Works

To participate, register in the program and get a unique link, then provide that link to anyone interested in launching an online store with Ecwid. Each person that opens an Ecwid store through your link becomes your referral customer.

When that person upgrades to a paid plan (Venture, Business, or Unlimited), you’ll receive $100 commission. You’ll be able to track the number of referral clients and fees in your partner account.

Bonus: Ecwid affiliate partners get access to closed beta versions of new products and the chance to advertise their business by writing a guest post on the Ecwid blog.

How It Works
It’s up to you to decide if your app is free or paid, and you can set your own price.

And if you don’t have the ability to accept payments from customers, no sweat! Ecwid can process your payments.

How to Become an App Partner

Ecommerce that has your back

So simple to use – even my most technophobic clients can manage. Easy to install, quick to set up. Light years ahead of other shop plugins.
I’m so impressed I’ve recommended it to my website clients and am now using it for my own store along with four others for which I webmaster. Beautiful coding, excellent top-notch support, great documentation, fantastic how-to videos. Thank you so much Ecwid, you rock!
I’ve used Ecwid and I love the platform itself. Everything is so simplified it’s insane. I love how you have different options to choose shipping carriers, to be able to put in so many different variants. It’s a pretty open e-commerce gateway.
Easy to use, affordable (and a free option if starting off). Looks professional, many templates to select from. The App is my favorite feature as I can manage my store right from my phone. Highly recommended 👌👍
I like that Ecwid was easy to start and to use. Even for a person like me, without any technical background. Very well written help articles. And the support team is the best for my opinion.
For everything it has to offer, ECWID is incredibly easy to set up. Highly recommend! I did a lot of research and tried about 3 other competitors. Just try ECWID and you'll be online in no time.
