Refer a brand. Earn when we ship.
Propeller’s referral program rewards partners who introduce ecommerce brands that sign a Shopify, Shopify Plus, CRO, growth, or commerce-technology engagement with Propeller in Santa Monica, Los Angeles.
Introduce a fit brand. We run discovery, close the work, and pay you when the first statement of work is signed. Clear rules. Named contact. No black-box affiliate dashboards.
Warm intros close. Cold RFPs stall.
The strongest Shopify and ecommerce projects still arrive through people who already trust the work — founders, CMOs, peer agencies, fractional operators, and advisors who see the leak before a pitch deck does.
Most “referral programs” are a vague promise and a forgotten spreadsheet. This one is written down: who qualifies, what you earn, how attribution works, and who answers when you send someone.
Paid when the work is real.
You get paid for qualified introductions that become signed Propeller engagements — not for clicks or half-warm email forwards.
10% of year-one fees
On the first twelve months of project or retainer fees we invoice the referred brand, paid after funds clear. Caps and multi-year renewals are agreed in writing before kickoff.
Or a fixed finder’s fee
Prefer a simple bounty? We can structure a fixed fee on signature for discrete builds, Plus migrations, or Consulate entries — agreed before you make the intro.
Attribution that sticks
Email intros to newbiz@propeller.marketing, or send partners through this page with your name in the form. First clear attribution wins. We confirm receipt within one business day.
Built for people already in the room.
Happy clients
Brand leaders who already trust Propeller and know peers stuck on a storefront, migration, or growth system that is not keeping up.
Peer agencies
Branding, creative, PR, and media shops that win ecommerce briefs but do not want to staff Shopify Plus, CRO, or Klaviyo delivery in-house.
Operators & advisors
Fractional CMOs, board advisors, 3PL consultants, and accountants who see DTC brands before they issue an RFP.
Send brands we can actually help.
- Shopify or Shopify Plus brands roughly $2M–$100M+ ecommerce revenue
- Rebuilds, Plus migrations, headless / Hydrogen, Consulate US entry, CRO, Klaviyo, or paid + organic growth
- Teams that want a commerce partner — not a theme ticket queue
- Categories we already ship in: spirits, beauty, luxury, CPG, hospitality, and ambitious consumer brands

Questions partners ask
What is Propeller’s agency referral program?
It is a structured partner program that pays clients, peer agencies, and operators who introduce ecommerce brands that sign a Shopify, Shopify Plus, CRO, growth, or commerce-technology engagement with Propeller (propeller.marketing).
How much does the Shopify agency referral program pay?
Standard structure is 10% of year-one project or retainer fees we invoice the referred brand, or a fixed finder’s fee agreed before the introduction. Payment follows after the statement of work is signed and initial fees clear.
What counts as a qualified referral?
A named decision-maker at a brand that is a realistic fit for Propeller’s commerce work — typically Shopify or Plus brands around $2M+ ecommerce revenue needing builds, migrations, CRO, growth, Consulate, or custom commerce technology — with clear first attribution to you.
Can another agency refer Shopify work to Propeller?
Yes. Peer agencies that own the client relationship on brand, media, or creative often refer Shopify delivery to Propeller and earn under this program. For invisible delivery under your brand, see our white label service.
How do you track who referred a lead?
Submit through this page with your details, or CC newbiz@propeller.marketing on a warm intro. We log first clear attribution in our CRM and confirm within one business day so partners are never guessing.
Is there a cost to join the referral partner program?
No. Registration is free. There is no retainer, no minimum referral volume, and no public affiliate portal required.
