LoyaltyLion** - the default pick if your clients are Shopify/Shopify Plus DTC brands. It has the most mature, explicitly agency-oriented partner program of the bunch: tiered levels (Registered/Gold/Platinum), a 20% revenue share on referred deals, or you can split it as 10% rev share + 10% client discount, or pass the whole 20% to the client.
