Terms built for clear, long-term partnerships.

1. What we pay

50% of what we receive from each referred store, every month, for the first 12 months of their paid subscription.

That rate and that period are the terms. Everything in the table below is arithmetic on top of them.

What it works out to at today's prices. This is an illustration, not part of the terms. Arvio's plans are US$9.90, US$39 and US$99 per 30 days as of 26 August 2026. Current prices are always the ones on our App Store listing.

These are approximate on purpose. Commission is calculated on the revenue that actually reaches us, after platform fees, payment processing, taxes and currency conversion — and those vary by merchant, so a figure to the cent would be a false promise. Your Shoffi dashboard shows the exact amount for every transaction.

If we change a plan price, the rule does not change — only the amounts in that table do. A price change is not a change to these terms, and we will not cut anyone's earnings by moving prices around instead of changing the rate.

• Recurring subscription revenue only. One-time charges, credit top-ups and usage charges do not earn commission.
• We pay nothing per install. There is no bounty. A store that installs and never pays earns nothing, for either of us.
• The 12 months run from the store's first successful charge, and only while it keeps paying. If the store cancels in month 3, commission stops in month 3.

2. What counts as a referral

A merchant clicks your link, then installs Arvio and starts a paid plan.

• 30 days. The click and the subscription must be within 30 days of each other.
• Same device. Tracking is device-based. If someone reads your post on a phone and installs on a laptop, we will not see it.
• The store must not have installed Arvio before.
• A trial alone earns nothing. Commission starts at the first successful charge, after the 5-day trial.
• If two affiliates referred the same store, the most recent click wins.
• Referrals outside a link. Shoffi lets you report a referral manually and we review each one. We will decline it if the store came from our own advertising, our App Store listing, our existing customer referral programme, or another affiliate — not because we doubt you, but because we can see where it came from and we cannot pay for it twice.

3. What does not earn commission

• Stores you own or control, stores of a company you are part of, or stores of immediate family.
• Shopify development stores and test stores.
• Stores already using Arvio, or that have used it before.
• Stores already in an active conversation with us.
• Paid search on our name. Do not bid on “Arvio”, “Arvio Shopify”, or misspellings of them, on any ad network, or use our name in a display URL.
• Confusable identities. Domains, social handles, app names or page titles built around “Arvio” or a near-copy of it.
• Coupon, deal, cashback and loyalty sites, and browser extensions that overwrite affiliate links.
• Unsolicited bulk email or DMs, and posts that break the rules of the place they are posted — the Shopify Community forums included.
• Anything where the merchant is paid, rewarded, or required to install.

4. Refunds, chargebacks and cancellations

We pay you out of money we actually received and kept.

• Commission accrues the moment Shopify records the charge. It becomes payable once that money has reached us and the period for reversing it has passed.
• If a charge is refunded, reversed, charged back, or never reaches us, the commission comes off your balance.
• If we have already paid it, your balance can go negative and carries forward against future commission. We will not invoice you for it.
• A reversal takes back one month of commission, not the whole 12.
• If the stores from one partner start reversing at an unusual rate, we will come and talk to you before we change anything.

This is not us being careful with your money — it is the one part of an affiliate programme where the platform cannot protect either side automatically, so we would rather say plainly how we handle it.

5. Getting paid

• Everything is tracked in your Shoffi account: clicks, referred stores, and what each one has earned.
• Minimum balance of US$50 before you can request a payout.
• Payouts go through PayPal by default. Tell us before requesting one if you need a different method.
• We have 60 days from your request to pay, and we use part of that window to confirm the underlying charges cleared. In practice we aim to pay well inside it.

6. If you manage stores for clients

Arvio installs into a merchant's own store. If you manage a client's store and have permission to act in it, you can install it there for them.

1. Your link has to be the one that gets clicked. Telling a client to search the App Store for us earns you nothing — there is no click to attribute. Either send them your link, or use it yourself while working in their store.
2. The client pays. Billing sits on the client's Shopify account, and commission follows their subscription for as long as it runs.
3. Tell your client you earn a commission on it. If they ask us, we will confirm it. We would rather lose a referral than have you lose a client over a disclosure you did not make.

7. What you can say about us

• Work from our published facts: https://arvio.a.xyz/blog/what-arvio-actually-does?utm_source=affiliate_terms&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=sept_affiliate&utm_content=terms_page. If you need something that is not in there, ask and we will either give it to you or tell you we cannot.
• Do not invent performance numbers. We do not publish a figure for sales, traffic or conversion lift, because we have not measured one. If we find one attributed to us, we will ask you to take it down.
• We do not have the “Built for Shopify” badge. Please do not say we do.
• Do not present yourself as Arvio, Arvio support, or an official Arvio account.
• Disclose that your link is an affiliate link wherever you post it.
• Logos and screenshots: email hi@a.xyz and we will send you the media kit. Please use them as they are — do not recolour, stretch, or add effects.

8. What we can and cannot see

We only pay what the tracking attributes. A merchant who clears cookies, switches device, or finds us later through App Store search will not be credited to you, even if you are genuinely why they came. We do not have a way around this, and we would rather you knew that going in than discovered it in month two.

If a referral you are confident about does not appear, tell us. We will look, and we can approve it manually if the evidence holds.

9. Changes, and ending it

• We can change the rate or the period. A change applies only to referrals made after it. Anything already earning keeps its terms for the rest of its 12 months.
• Plan prices, the trial length, and the payout mechanics on Shoffi's side can also change. Those are not changes to these terms — the table in section 1 is an illustration at the prices on the day it was written, and the rate is what you are actually owed.
• Some things we have not set yet, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise. Today every partner is approved by hand, and there is no cap on how many stores you can refer, no cap on how many partners we take on, and no minimum activity to stay in. If we ever introduce one, we will tell you before it applies, it applies only to referrals made after that, and nothing already earning is touched.
• One account per person or company. Email us first if you need multiple people under one account or need to move it to another company.
• Either side can leave at any time. Commission already earned and cleared still gets paid.
• We can end a partnership and withhold unpaid commission for conduct listed in sections 3 or 7.
