How it works
- 1
Apply and verify the business
Submit the retail application. We verify the business and each physical location before approval.
- 2
Receive one code per approved location
Every approved physical location receives its own unique, immutable uppercase store code. A multi location business keeps one partner relationship and one monthly payout.
- 3
Staff share the code
Customers enter the store code while creating their account in the Ally iOS app. That is the only place a code can be used.
- 4
A $5 commission qualifies
The fixed $5 commission qualifies after the referred customer completes their first successful paid renewal on Basic, Plus, or Gold.
- 5
Monthly review and manual payout
Qualifications are reviewed on the first Tuesday of each month and approved payments are sent manually under the published schedule.
