  • Free until $200k ARR
  • No credit card needed
  • EU hosted, GDPR compliant
How the beta works

Help us get it right, get it first

App revenue on Shopify works differently: Shopify bills the merchant, keeps its revenue share and pays you out, and an uninstall usually means churn. The best place to model that is on real Partner accounts.

  1. Join the list

    Tell us roughly how big you are and what you use for metrics today. It takes a minute.

  2. Connect your Partner organization

    When it's your turn, create a Partner API client in your Partner Dashboard and give GrowPanel your organization ID and token. GrowPanel only reads data with it.

  3. Compare the numbers

    We go through MRR, churn and shop counts with you, against your Partner Dashboard and the numbers you trust today, and fix whatever doesn't match.

  4. Keep it running

    When the integration leaves beta, your account keeps syncing. There's nothing to set up again.

FAQ

Shopify Partners and GrowPanel, answered

Something else on your mind? Talk to a human, we reply within one business day.

Who is this for?

Shopify app developers who charge merchants through Shopify's Billing API. GrowPanel reads your app revenue from the Partner API, for the apps in your Partner organization.

When will the integration be ready?

We're building it now. Beta testers get it first, as soon as it imports real Partner accounts correctly, and we'll email everyone on the list when it's their turn. We'd rather launch it late than launch it with wrong numbers.

What access will GrowPanel need?

A Partner API client that you create in your Partner Dashboard, with the View financials and Manage apps permissions. GrowPanel uses it to read your app's transactions and events, and nothing else.

Why not just use the Partner Dashboard?

The Partner Dashboard shows your earnings and installs. GrowPanel turns them into subscription metrics: MRR movements, churn and retention by cohort, and forecasts, plus Slack alerts and email reports.

I also sell outside Shopify. Can I combine the two?

Yes. A GrowPanel account can combine several billing sources, so if you also run a standalone product on Stripe, you can see both together or apart.

What does it cost?

GrowPanel is free until you're above $200k ARR. After that, plans are priced by ARR, billed monthly or annually.
