Commission structure

Two revenue streams, both perpetual

Every merchant you bring on pays you twice over — once on what they pay GoHato, and once on what they sell. Neither one runs out after a fixed number of years.

Perpetual
25%

Of the subscription fee

You earn 25% of every merchant's GoHato subscription, for as long as they stay subscribed. There's no year-four cliff — the commission keeps paying out on renewal after renewal.

Guaranteed minimum, per onboarded merchant
India merchants: ₹400 / month US & other countries: $8 / month
Perpetual
0.2%

Of GMV

On top of the subscription share, you earn 0.2% of every merchant's sales on GoHato — with no end date on the relationship and no cap on what you can earn.

How it compounds

Scales automatically as your merchant's store grows — no re-negotiation needed.

How it works

Three steps, no onboarding call required

01

Register as a partner

Tell us a bit about how you work with D2C brands and get set up on your partner account. No referral link to manage.

02

Claim or onboard a merchant

Already working with a brand? Claim them under your account. Bringing on someone new? Onboard them directly — either way, they're attributed to you.

03

Earn on subscription and GMV, forever

From their first paid month onward, you earn 25% of their subscription and 0.2% of their GMV — for as long as they remain a GoHato merchant, with no cap.

Why pitch GoHato

Reasons merchants switch — and reasons you keep earning

1

Fastest to implement

Merchants can go from signup to a live, selling storefront in days, not the weeks a typical platform migration takes.

2

Direct team support on onboarding

Our own team handles merchant onboarding directly — your merchant isn't left to figure out setup alone or wait on a ticket queue.

3

Up to 80% lower cost

Merchants save up to 80% compared to running a similar stack elsewhere, since everything is built into the one plan.

4

Faster storefronts

Sub-second page loads out of the box, keeping shoppers on the page and ad spend working harder.

5

Strong SEO by default

Clean, semantic storefronts that are built to be found, with no separate SEO app or plugin required.

6

Payment, shipping & KYC handled by us

Our team directly supports merchants through payment gateway setup, shipping onboarding, and KYC — not left to a help article.

7

Perpetual earnings, no cap

Every merchant you claim or onboard keeps paying you — 25% of subscription and 0.2% of GMV, for as long as they stay, with no ceiling on total payouts.

Frequently asked questions

Clear terms, no fine print

Does the commission ever stop? +

No. Both the 25% subscription share and the 0.2% GMV share are perpetual — they continue for as long as the merchant stays active on GoHato, with no fixed number of years.

Is there a cap on how much I can earn? +

No. Your commission scales with every merchant you bring on and with how much each one grows, with no ceiling on total payouts.

How does the minimum guarantee work? +

For every merchant you onboard, you're guaranteed at least ₹400/month if they're based in India, or $8/month if they're based in the US or another country — even in months where 25% of their subscription fee would come out lower.

Do I need to be a developer or agency to join? +

No. The program is open to anyone who works with or advises D2C founders — consultants, marketers, freelancers, and agencies alike. There's no technical requirement to claim or onboard merchants.

What if a merchant I onboarded pauses and comes back later? +

Merchants you've claimed or onboarded stay attributed to your partner account permanently. If they pause their subscription and reactivate later, your commission resumes automatically.
