Adding a new Theme

Good to know: While you control all your affiliate programs from the same dashboard, you set up each one individually. That allows you to set different affiliate terms (ex. Commission Rate) for each theme.

The New Theme Form

Go to the 'My Themes' page and click on the 'Add a new theme' button. You will be redirected to the new theme page.

  • CPI:
    Cost Per Install. The amount the affiliate will be rewarded for each successful install of the theme.
  • Minimum Withdrawal:
    The minimum amount an affiliate needs to reach in earnings so they can ask to withdraw their balance. In USD.
  • Auto Approval:
    If checked, every affiliate who applies for your affiliate program will be approved automatically without your manual approval.

Theme details

  • Theme name: The exact name as shows on the Theme Store.
  • Theme Logo:
    A .png file of your logo. a 125x125 is recommended.
  • Shopify Theme Store Listing Link: eg. https://themes.shopify.com/themes/YourTheme
  • Theme Support Email: Your affiliates will use this email if they want to contact you

Theme Resources (Optional)

Add links to a public Google Drive, YouTube channel, or any other platform where your affiliate partners can find resources and tutorials that will help them learn and promote the theme.

Shopify Partner Details

Please make sure the details are correct, changing them later can be done only by contacting our support.
  • Partner ID:
    Find it under Settings > Account information
  • Partners API Client Access Token:
Important! Shoffi requires API permissions to your theme so we can tell if an install was made using a referral link, and calculate the earning and commission rates properly.
Those permissions grant us a 'Read only' access, which we use only to read the information that is relevant to the Shoffi platform.
We don't read any data that was prior to your integration with Shoffi. You can find more information about the Partner API permissions here.
When creating a new API client, please approve permissions to:
  • View financials
  • Manage themes
If it's your first time creating a Partner API key, you can follow Shopify's guide here.
Theme ID:
  • Go to your theme page on the partner admin, and copy it from the URL.
    For example:
    https://partners.shopify.com/1111111/themes/1234567#/
    1234567 is your theme ID.

The theme integration process

Partners API connection

In order to submit the 'new theme' form, you will need to validate the connection to your Shopify Partners API, to make sure the details you've entered are correct. In case one of the fields is wrong, or if you haven't added the right permissions, you will get an error explaining exactly what went wrong.
If the connection is successful, you will be able to start inviting affiliates and use Shoffi right away.
