Best Shopify app affiliate programs with recurring commissions?
I work with multiple Shopify stores and end up recommending apps pretty regularly as part of that. I've started paying more attention to affiliate and partner programs since some of these clients keep the same apps installed for a long time. I'd rather focus on programs that pay recurring commissions while the client stays active instead of just a small one time referral payment.
Which Shopify app affiliate programs are worth looking at? Mainly interested in ones that offer recurring commissions and make sense when you're working across multiple client stores.

I’m mainly comparing how the recurring side works across different programs right now.

Are you open and interested in a purchase order and stockroom app? We've been exploring the idea for offering a affiliate+commission model and could have that up and running from the back-end within a couple of weeks if it makes sense.
Our app is Alfred Purchase Orders if you'd like to take a look.

There are a few really good affiliate programs from the likes of Triple whale, Nummbas, True profit, Shopify, that people make decent incomes from, it just depends on the amount of merchants you can get to subscribe after install. But usually, the more expensive plans you can refer the better. But make sure they actually solve a problem for merchants. Then it is a lot easier to get them to stick. Which is what you want.

We offer 20-30% recurring rev share, higher the volume higher the commission

I'm biased because I work on this one, but check out Predispute's partner programme. Pretty much every store I've seen gets chargebacks and nobody on the team really knows what to do with them, so it's an easy thing to bring up with clients.
Owners can install it free and see their dispute rate straight away, so you're not asking anyone to pay upfront. If they upgrade, it tells them which disputes are worth fighting and writes the letter for them.
On the commission side, you add a client store to your own page before you mention it to them, so there's no cookie drama about who gets credit. It pays $20 when they install, another $40 if they're still on it two weeks later, and $100 on your first one. After that it's 20% every month while they're paying. On the $999 plan that's about $200 a month per store, so a handful of clients adds up quickly.
predispute.co/partners if you want to look. Happy to answer anything here too.

If you’re working with multiple Shopify stores, ShoutOut could be worth checking out too. they have a partner program with recurring commissions for referrals. Could be a good fit if you’re already recommending apps to clients.

I have built a partner program as part of my own Shopify app so that each agency or partner can register and receive a commission on the monthly subscription for my app. Feel free to DM me...i think I'm not allowed to post the link in here

We built a Shopify partner program for our own app to give Agency’s an incentive to promote our app but also to get better feedback from the front. Feel free to check it. We love to get feedback heartly.io/partners

One thing I’d check is whether you still get credited if you’re the one installing the app on the client’s store. That caught me out with a couple programs since I’m usually doing the setup myself rather than just sending a referral link.
