<p>Hi!</p>
<p>The Merchium Marketplace is where merchants will buy themes and apps for their stores. Today, we have great news for developers and designers who want to sell their work via the Marketplace and to benefit from Merchium’s growth.</p>
<p><strong>The Merchium Marketplace is now open for partners.</strong> If you want to sell apps and themes on the Marketplace, email us at <a href="mailto:partners@merchium.com?subject=Become%20a%20Merchium%20Partner" title="Become a Merchium Partner">partners@merchium.com</a> and we’ll send you a personal invitation to join a secret registration page.</p>

<p>The Marketplace is currently running behind a curtain; only our team and the partners have access to the site. Once the Marketplace has enough apps and themes, we’ll open it to the public.</p>

<h2>Why Become a Partner</h2>
<p>As our partner, you will get <strong>80% of the profits from every app and 70% of the profits from every theme</strong> you create and sell through the Marketplace. To withdraw funds, you’ll need only a PayPal account.</p>
<p>By entering the Marketplace now, you are putting your apps and themes in a privileged position: when the Marketplace opens to merchants, your work will be the first thing they see. You’ll benefit from a market with a low concurrency that is under growing demand.</p>
<h2>What a Partner Does</h2>
<p>There are two roles that a partner can fulfill: <strong>theme designer</strong> or <strong>app developer</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Theme designers</strong> use Merchium’s built-in editors to create themes for Merchium storefronts. Being a theme designer requires CSS knowledge and visual design skills. No programming or template code editing is involved.

<p><strong>App developers</strong> contribute to Merchium by adding payment, shipping, and helpdesk services, marketing tools, and other useful things. You can develop apps for Merchium using any programming language.
