Partner program
Earn 20% of net client payments for 12 months
Knockoff finds the sellers and storefronts running your client's product photos, builds the evidence, and prepares the takedown. You bring the brand, the brand pays Knockoff directly at the normal price, and you earn 20% of each net subscription payment after processing fees during the first year.
For Shopify agencies and freelancers with direct-to-consumer clients.
Your share, by plan
The client chooses the plan. Your share is 20% of the net payment after processing fees.
What one client is worth
Your client picks the plan and pays Knockoff at list price. There is no discount to pass on, no markup to defend, and no invoice through your books. Each successful net subscription payment can earn commission during the first year.
| Plan | Client pays | Estimated monthly commission | Estimated commission over 12 months | What the client gets |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Watch | $99/mo | $19.17 | $230.04 | Monitoring, alerts, and evidence packs across core marketplaces |
| Enforce | $299/mo | $58.01 | $696.12 | Everything in Watch, plus takedown packages the brand files in one click, and a US trademark watch |
| Dominate | $799/mo | $155.11 | $1,861.32 | Everything in Enforce, plus Knockoff files the approved takedowns as the brand's authorized agent on covered platforms |
Estimates use Stripe's current standard US online-card fee of 2.9% plus 30 cents per payment. Actual commission is 20% of the net subscription payment after processing fees. Taxes, credits, discounts, and pass-through charges can reduce it further.
Twelve months, then it ends
Months 1 to 12, paid
Month 13 onward, nothing
20% of each net subscription payment after processing fees received during the first twelve months, counted from the first payment.
Plan prices and what each one covers are on the pricing page, the same page your client will read.
Three steps to a referral
The first two take you a few minutes and cost the client nothing. The third is the client's decision.
01
Run a free scan on a client store
It takes the store URL. There is nothing to install, no client login, and nothing for the brand to do while it runs.
02
Share the report
It names the listings and storefronts using your client's product photos, with the archived evidence attached to each one.
03
The client signs up through your link
They subscribe on their own account at the normal price, and you earn 20% of each net subscription payment after processing fees for 12 months.
Start with a store you already run. The free scan reads the storefront the way a shopper does, so you can bring a client a finished report before you have said a word about a subscription.
Built for Shopify agencies
If you build and run stores for direct-to-consumer brands, you usually see this before the client does. A product photo you art directed turns up in a marketplace listing. A store opens on a misspelled version of your client's domain, running your layout, your copy, and your images.
It lands hardest on catalogs that sell on the photograph: jewelry, beauty, apparel, print on demand, and drinkware. The better the photography, the more worth stealing it is.
The client brings it to you because you are the one who built the store. This gives you an answer for them, and 20% of net subscription payments after processing fees for a year.
You refer it, the brand runs it
This is a referral, not a reseller agreement. Nothing about it adds a line to your retainer.
Where the money moves
Your agency
The brand
Knockoff
You send the referral link. The brand pays Knockoff at list price.
Knockoff pays you 20% of each net subscription payment after processing fees, for twelve months.
- The brand holds the subscription. Knockoff bills the client directly, at the price on the pricing page. You do not buy a plan or mark one up.
- The brand approves its own takedowns. A notice carries a sworn statement, so the decision stays with the person who owns the photographs.
- Support comes to us. Your client emails Knockoff and Knockoff answers. Their questions do not land in your inbox.
- You do not run the tool. No login to hold, no queue to work, no monthly report to write.
Tell your client you earn a commission
This is a requirement of the program, not a suggestion. Your client hears about the referral fee from you, in plain words, at the time you make the recommendation, and before they subscribe.
One sentence in an email covers it: you earn a commission based on their net subscription payments after processing fees. A partner who hides it is removed from the program.
The disclosure requirement, how attribution works, and how payouts are calculated are all written out in the partner terms.
A free Watch plan for your own store
Once you are approved as a partner, your own store runs on the Watch plan at no charge. Agencies sell things too: themes, templates, courses, product lines. The copying finds you the same way it finds your clients, and you should be watching for it on your own catalog while you talk to brands about theirs.
It is also the fastest way to learn the product. You see the scans, the evidence, and the takedown flow on a store you know inside out, which makes the conversation with a client a demonstration instead of a pitch.
Partner questions
How much does a Knockoff partner earn? +
You earn 20% of each net subscription payment after processing fees during the first 12 months. Using Stripe's current standard US online-card fee of 2.9% plus 30 cents, the estimated commission on Watch at $99 a month is $19.17 a month and $230.04 over 12 months if the client pays monthly without interruption. On Dominate at $799 a month, the estimate is $155.11 a month and $1,861.32 over the same period. Actual processing fees can vary.
Who pays Knockoff, the agency or the brand? +
The brand. Your client subscribes on its own account and pays the same price it would pay coming to us directly. You do not buy a plan, resell one, or carry a client's invoice.
Do I have to tell my client that I earn a commission? +
Yes. Telling the client is a condition of the program, and it happens before they sign up.
Does my agency have to run the tool? +
No. The brand connects its own store and approves its own cases, because a takedown notice is signed by the rights owner. Support questions come to Knockoff.
Can I see the product before I refer anyone? +
Yes. The free scan runs on any Shopify store from the store URL, so you can point it at a client store today. Approved partners also get the Watch plan free on their own store.
What happens after the first 12 months? +
The commission covers net subscription payments received after processing fees during the client's first 12 months. Failed payments do not extend that window. The client keeps their plan and their account either way.
