Who this is for: Merchants who want someone to set up ShopIQ for them and partners who want to offer paid implementation services.

Are implementation fees paid to ShopIQ?
No. Implementation fees are paid to the partner. ShopIQ subscription fees are separate. The merchant may need to pay ShopIQ subscription, additional AI credits if needed, domain charges, payment gateway fees, logistics charges, WhatsApp provider charges, advertising spend, and the partner implementation fee.
Does ShopIQ decide the implementation fee?
No. The implementation fee is decided between the partner and the client. Partners may price based on number of products, design complexity, timeline, number of integrations, content requirements, catalog cleanup, image work, training requirements, ongoing support needs, and custom deployment needs where applicable.
What should merchants ask before paying implementation fees?
- What is included and what is not included?

- Are policy pages and integrations included?
- Is domain setup and training included?
- How many revisions are included?

Can partners charge ongoing fees?
Yes. Partners may charge ongoing monthly fees for store management, marketing, catalog updates, content, analytics, or campaign execution. These fees are separate from the ShopIQ subscription unless agreed otherwise.
Do implementation services consume AI credits?
Manual partner work does not consume AI credits. AI-powered tasks performed during implementation consume AI credits from the merchant account or agreed account setup. Partners should explain AI credit usage to clients.
Implementation fees should be transparent. Partners should give clients a clear scope of work, pricing, timeline, payment terms, and support expectations before starting.
