From merchants

What merchants say

  • Fantastic app and even better support!

    We run a store with an extremely large product catalog (+200 000 products), and Sledge has been the best solution to bypass Shopify’s 5,000 product per collection limit while still providing powerful filtering. We have several of stores and have used similar apps on the other stores, all of which are more expensive and less powerful.The team has given us exceptional support and even helped with custom fixes. Highly recommended – great value for the money!

  • I'm very happy with this sledge app because every feature is working here except that A-Z alphabetic order process and coming to the support assistance they are very talented and good response. I'm happy with their great responses in time, it's very helpful to me. I'm completely done with my filter ticket because of the support team.Thank you...! : )

    BellaDiscountFrance
  • A great app with a great support team

    I was able to achieve my desired results with clean-looking custom filters and a wish list page. Support is very helpful and informative. They were able to help with my setup and fix any details that I struggled to do myself.

    Sibi BuiltUnited States
  • Absolutely unreal support

    The amount of work the Sledge team did for us to earn our business is unbelievable. We've been on Shopify for 3+ years and have never seen this much dedication from the developers of an app. On top the amazing support, the app works great once the tweaks were done. It works extremely fast and we are very satisfied with the results. If any issues rise, a simple email is sent to the Sledge team and they work tirelessly to take care of it. 100% recommended. The Sledge team have built something awesome!

  • We use this app to display product filters horizontally on Collections pages, as well as stock count on product cards. The setup was easy and it does exactly what we wanted it to do. I have had to contact support a few times and every time they have been great.

    CLARIBagUnited Kingdom
  • We've been using this app for ~1 year to maintain an improved product filter/search experience for our nearly 20,000 product inventory. The features you get for the subscription price are worthwhile. It also works with Hydrogen, which is rare.I had an issue with the app, and the developers responded with a fix before the day was over. Highly recommended for the storefront value and support you get from this app.

    Oriental Rug GalaxyUnited States
  • We’ve tested several filter apps for product pages, but Sledge is by far the best solution we’ve found!The app is incredibly versatile and powerful, with a clean interface and smart functionality that just works. The preset settings help you get started in no time, while advanced users can fine-tune nearly everything.

    Guide, assets and talking points.

How does the commission work?

Sledge's 10 founding partners earn 25%, and partners who join later earn 20%. Your rate applies to what a referred store pays for its plan each month, not counting tax, while it stays on a paid plan. Shopify's share and fees don't come out of it. A refund or chargeback cancels or reduces the commission on that payment, and if we already paid it, we take it from your next payout. A store counts as yours when it installs within 30 days of clicking your link, on the same device.

When does my commission start?

With a referred store's first payment, when it moves to a paid plan after its 14-day free trial.

What happens if a merchant changes plans?

Your commission follows the plan the store pays for, so a move from Pro to Scale raises it and a move down lowers it. Your rate stays the same.

When and how do I get paid?

We send your commission to your PayPal. Each commission becomes available 30 days after the store's payment, once Shopify has paid us for it. Your Shoffi balance shows commission as soon as the store pays, including commission still on hold. When it reaches $50, request a payout. We pay every 14 days, and your payout goes out on the first payday after all its commissions are available, minus any a refund took back.

How do I track my referrals?

Once you're approved, Shoffi gives you your referral link and a dashboard of the stores you've referred.

Do development stores count?

Not while they're development stores. Once the store is transferred to your client and makes its first plan payment, your commission starts. If it no longer shows as yours in Shoffi after the transfer, send it to us as a manual referral.

Can I refer my own store?

Stores you own or control don't earn commission. A client's store that you manage but don't own or control does.

Is there an approval process?

Yes. We review every application and reply within a few business days. The founding cohort is limited to 10 partners.

Where can I read the full terms?

On the Shoffi sign-up page, before you join. They cover when a store counts as yours, payouts, and self-referral or fraud.

Recommend Sledge Earn as they grow
