Every agency running Shopify accounts has taken a pitch from a "partner program." A vendor shows up with a deck, a commission tier, and a promise that this one is different. Most of the time it's an affiliate link with better graphics.
Agencies remember who burned them. A partner that competed for the client relationship instead of supporting it. A commission structure that shrank the moment volume grew. A tool that required ripping out something the agency had already sold and configured. That history sets the bar for anyone new asking for a slot in the stack.
An agency has already sold Klaviyo. They've built flows, trained the client's team, and staked their credibility on that recommendation. A partner asking them to replace it is asking them to undo their own work.
The real question is whether a new tool runs alongside what's already sold, or fights it for space. CART sits next to Klaviyo instead of replacing it. It leaves email flows alone and picks up at the moment a shopper abandons a cart, when Klaviyo's email hasn't landed yet or won't land at all.
Commission language in most partner decks stays vague on purpose. "Generous," "competitive," "industry-leading." An agency running the numbers for thirty accounts needs figures, not adjectives.
CART's compensation scales with the relationship. A simple introduction earns a percentage of net income for a set period. Staying involved, managing the account, integrating CART into your own platform, growing it across more stores, means the terms grow with you, tailored to how much of the work you're actually carrying. No minimum to qualify, no cap on what you can earn.
A partner confident in its product doesn't need a long contract to prove it. CART starts with 250 cart recoveries, $0 charged, and no setup fee. That lets an agency hand a client something real to evaluate before either side signs anything, and walk away at $0 charged if the recovery numbers don't hold up.
Commission gets an agency to say yes. What keeps the relationship going is what the agency's client experiences afterward. A recovery tool that sends generic blasts and calls it "personalization" makes the agency look like it sold snake oil. One that runs real two-way conversations, recovers cart revenue Klaviyo's email flow missed, and shows up in the client's dashboard as incremental lift gives the agency something to point to in the next quarterly review.
What an agency wants is something it can recommend to a client without hedging, not another logo for the pitch deck.
Run your next 250 abandoned carts through CART, $0 charged, and see what it recovers before you commit to anything.
