More and better clients
Thanks to their relationships with merchants, partners will do their best to bring your app to those who need it. That will help apps get new clients, but even better than that – to clients who need the solution and are much more likely to keep using the app and upgrade to more advanced subscriptions.

Payment requests
You must pay partners based on the affiliate terms you have set.
Shoffi tracks the amount of money to be paid to each affiliate partner and will notify you when a partner requests payment.
