All questions about Shopspotting, answered in brief

Shopspotting is a self-employed activity on a commission basis: you bring creators, coaches and experts to a shop system for digital products and earn a commission on the revenue-based fee they pay on every sale. The more they sell, the more you earn, every month, for as long as they stay a customer. The model was introduced by Merchavio, so far the only provider (as of October 2026): there you receive 25% of every sales fee plus, on top, 25% of your sellers’ monthly subscription (net). More about Shopspotting

A Shopspotter recommends a shop system for digital products to creators, coaches and experts, self-employed and on a commission basis, and then receives a share of the fee on every sale they make, and at Merchavio also of their subscription on top. What a Shopspotter does

Through Merchavio. Merchavio introduced Shopspotting and is so far the only provider (as of October 2026). There you create a free Shopspotter account and receive 25% of every sales fee your sellers pay plus 25% of their monthly plan on top. Where and how to start

Nothing. There is no fee, nothing to buy and you don’t need a shop of your own. Do I need my own shop?

It depends on how many sellers you refer and how much they sell. Example with Merchavio’s prices: a seller on the Growth plan with 200 sales at €50 a month brings you €64.75 a month: €12.25 from the subscription and €52.50 from the sales fees. That is an example, not an average and not a promise. What a Shopspotter earns

At Merchavio: 25% of the net amount actually paid, after discounts and without VAT, from the plan and from the fee on every sale. The calculation in detail

With no expiry date, for as long as the seller pays and you take part. If Merchavio changes the rates, the change only applies to sellers referred afterwards. How long commission runs

At Merchavio, from a balance of €50, at the earliest 30 days after the end of the month in which it arose. First you enter your tax and payout details once. Then you request the payout in your Shopspotter area with the “Request payout” button, and it is paid via PayPal or SEPA transfer. All about payouts

No. Merchavio automatically creates a self-billing credit note as a PDF for every payout and sends it to you by email. Your Shopspotter area lists every payout with its credit note number. If something in the credit note is wrong, you can object within 30 days.

Then no new commission arises from them. If one of the seller’s payments to Merchavio is refunded, charged back or fails, the commission on it is reversed too. What happens on cancellation and refunds

In principle, anyone who works self-employed: freelancers, agencies and companies, including small businesses. From other countries too. It is not possible as a private individual, because settlement by self-billing credit note needs business details. The requirements

Yes. You work on your own account and on a commission basis. You decide when, how often and through which channels you recommend, within the partner terms. You can do it full-time or alongside your main work. What Shopspotting is

When they sign up through your personal link. If they allow cookies, a signup up to 90 days after the click counts at Merchavio. Without consent, it only counts in the same visit, without the page being reloaded. The last link used counts. How the Shopspotter link works

No. Commission runs without it. If you like, you can help your sellers with setup or marketing and charge your own fees for it, just not as a bonus for signing up through your link. Supporting your sellers

Best through people who already know you, your own content, your newsletter or your work with clients. All the ways at a glance

Any time and without notice, in your Shopspotter area or by email. Merchavio still pays out commission you have already earned after the hold period, even below the minimum. What happens when you cancel

Honest recommendations labelled as advertising are allowed. Among the things not allowed: ads on the name “Merchavio”, messages without consent and promises of income. The rules in plain language

No. Signups through your own link, further accounts of your own and accounts created only to trigger commission earn no commission.

Yes. If someone you referred becomes a Shopspotter and refers sellers, you receive an additional 5% of the net amount those sellers pay Merchavio. This continues even if that Shopspotter stops later, for as long as you take part. There are never more than two tiers, and commission only ever arises from payments by sellers, never for recruiting alone.

Judge it by the facts: taking part costs nothing, commission only arises from real payments, and the partner terms are public. How you can tell

Merchavio, the shop system you do Shopspotting through. Name and address are in the legal notice.
