How it works

From signup to first payout, in four steps.

Designed to be invisible. Sign up once, claim stores, watch revenue arrive.

How it works

Four steps from signup to first payout.

  1. Step 01
    Sign up free

    Create your developer account in 30 seconds. No KYC, no contracts. Stripe handles compliance later, at payout time.

  2. Step 02
    Claim merchant stores

    Submit the Shopify domain of any store you have a relationship with. We verify with the Tiwaa platform — auto-approved if a Tiwaa app is already installed.

  3. Step 03
    Apps earn revenue

    Every Tiwaa app the store runs accrues monthly revenue. You get 20% of gross, no rev share fine print.

  4. Step 04
    Stripe payout monthly

    On the 1st of each month, we calculate your direct + referral earnings and push payouts via Stripe Connect Express.

Step 01

Create your developer account

Email + password. 30 seconds. Optionally enter a referral code if a friend invited you — they get 5% of your future earnings, no cost to you.

terminal
$ curl -X POST tiwaa.dev/auth/signup
  -d email=you@studio.com
  -d password=••••••
  -d ref=ALICE42
→ { ok: true }
Step 02

Claim merchant stores

Submit a Shopify domain. We hit the Tiwaa platform to confirm: does this store exist, and does it have at least one Tiwaa app installed? If yes, your claim is auto-approved instantly. If not, it is rejected — no review queue, no waiting.

system
lumen-tea.myshopify.com
→ verified
→ 2 Tiwaa apps detected
→ claim auto-approved
Step 03

Earnings accrue automatically

Every Tiwaa app on a claimed store generates monthly revenue. We get the gross figure directly from the Tiwaa billing platform via webhook and a nightly reconcile. Your dashboard updates live.

terminal
[2025-11-01] Pulse Reviews    $49 × 20% = $9.80
[2025-11-01] Aura Loyalty     $99 × 20% = $19.80
[2025-11-01] Orbit Upsell    $199 × 20% = $39.80

Total for Nov: $69.40
Step 04

Monthly payout via Stripe Connect

On the 1st of each month, our cron job aggregates pending earnings and creates Stripe transfers to your connected account. First-time payout requires you to complete Stripe Express onboarding (bank, ID). Subsequent months are automatic.
