Amethyst Grid is an affiliate marketing platform built for Shopify app owners and merchants. It lets you run a fully automated affiliate program — track clicks, manage partners, and pay out 20% recurring commissions via Stripe Connect.
Who is Amethyst Grid for?
It’s for two types of users: Affiliates who want to earn commissions by referring Amethyst Apps to Shopify merchants, and Program Owners who want to run their own affiliate program.
Is there a free trial?
The Affiliate plan is completely free to join. The Program Owner plan costs £10/month with no free trial, but you can cancel at any time.
What Shopify apps can I promote?
You can promote any of the active Amethyst Apps listed in your dashboard, including Agent Ready, Index Pulse, IndexStream, Search Pulse, and more.
Sign up, choose the Affiliate plan, go to Amethyst Apps in your dashboard, select the apps you want to promote, and copy your unique tracking links to share.
How much can I earn?
You earn 20% of every monthly subscription you refer, recurring for as long as the merchant stays subscribed. There is no cap on earnings.
How are commissions tracked?
Each affiliate gets a unique tracking link. When a merchant clicks your link and subscribes to an app, the commission is automatically attributed to your account.
Do I need a Stripe account to get paid?
Yes. You must connect a Stripe account via Stripe Connect in your Partner Profile to receive payouts. This is a one-time setup.
How long does Stripe Connect onboarding take?
Stripe Connect onboarding typically takes 5–10 minutes. You will need a valid bank account and some basic identity information.
What happens to my commissions if I haven't connected Stripe yet?
Your commissions will accumulate and remain as Pending. They will be paid out on the next 1st-of-month payout run after you complete Stripe onboarding.
Payouts are processed automatically on the 1st of every month for all commissions with a Pending status.
What currency are payouts in?
Payouts are made in the currency of your connected Stripe account, typically GBP or USD depending on your location.
Is there a minimum payout amount?
There is currently no minimum payout threshold. All pending commissions are paid on the 1st of each month.
Can I see my payout history?
Yes. Go to My Commissions in your dashboard to see a full history of paid and pending commissions with dates and amounts.
What if a payout fails?
If a payout fails, it will remain as Pending and retry on the next scheduled payout run. Check your Stripe account is fully verified if you experience repeated failures.
Yes. Go to the user menu and click Change Plan at any time. Switching is instant.
Can I be both an Affiliate and a Program Owner?
Yes. Choose the ‘Both’ plan to access both the affiliate dashboard and the program owner dashboard from one account.
How do I reset my password?
On the sign-in page, click ‘Forgot password?’ and follow the instructions sent to your email.
How do I delete my account?
Email support@amethystapps.com with your request. We aim to process deletion requests within 5 business days.
Is my data secure?
Yes. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text. Payment data is handled entirely by Stripe and never stored on our servers.
