Creator Partner Program
The short version: share your link, earn on every sale it drives, get paid. Here are the details our partners ask about most.
The basics
What is this, exactly?
You’re an Alain Dupetit creator partner. You get a personal link to share with your audience, and you earn a commission on every order that link brings in. No inventory, no shipping, no middleman — just your link doing the work.
Does it cost me anything?
Nothing. Joining is free, there’s no fee, and there’s nothing to buy.
How do I get started?
Already invited? Open the invite email from Alain Dupetit and click Accept — that sets up your free creator account in Shopify Collabs, where your link and dashboard live.
Not invited yet? You can apply to join at alaindupetit.com/pages/collab. We review every application.
Your link & your social
Where do I find my link?
Inside your Shopify Collabs creator account. Once you’ve accepted the invite, your unique referral link is on your dashboard, ready to copy.
Can I customize my link?
Yes. Your link is alaindupetit.com/yourname — the part after the slash is your personal code. If you’d like a specific one (your name, your handle, whatever you go by), just tell us and we’ll set it, as long as no one else is already using it.
How do I add it to my social?
Put your link anywhere your audience taps:
- Your Instagram or TikTok bio, or your link-in-bio (Linktree and the like)
- Stories, captions, and posts
- Your YouTube description
You can also connect your social accounts inside your Collabs profile. Anyone who clicks your link and buys is credited to you automatically — they don’t have to type anything in.
Do my followers need a code, or get a discount?
For most partners there’s no code and no discount — your link alone does the tracking, so there’s nothing for your followers to enter.
If your specific invite mentioned a discount code or a gifted item, those details are spelled out in your invite email.
Earning & getting paid
How much do I earn?
You earn a commission on the full value of every order your link drives. Your exact rate is in your invite — most partners earn 15% on every sale.
How do I get paid?
In your Collabs creator account, go to Settings → Payments → Payouts, connect your PayPal (or a bank account), and turn on Automatic Payouts. That’s the only setup you need — once it’s on, your earnings are sent to you automatically.
When do I get paid?
Each commission is held for about 30 days first — that covers our return window — then it’s released. Released earnings are paid out to your connected PayPal or bank on Collabs’ regular payout cycle.
What if a customer returns something?
Commission is based on net sales. If a customer returns or refunds an item, the commission for that order is reversed. Everything that sticks is yours.
Tax
Why am I being asked for a W-9?
If you’re in the US, Shopify asks for a W-9 before releasing more than $599.99 in a year — it’s a standard tax form. Until it’s on file, your earnings still add up, they’re just held. You’ll find the request inside your Collabs account, and it only takes a minute.
Content
What should I post? Any rules?
Post whatever feels true to you and your audience — that’s what works. Two small asks: tag @alaindupetit so we can see it, and label the partnership (for example #ad or “affiliate”) so you’re covered under FTC rules. Beyond that, style it your way.
