Help clients manage revenue sharing without payout disputes
SplitLayer gives Shopify agencies a refund-safe payout ledger for clients running creator collaborations, vendor payouts, consignment, or revenue-share campaigns. Less spreadsheet work. Fewer payout disputes. Explainable results.
Why agencies use SplitLayer
Creator collaborations, vendor payout models, and revenue-share campaigns start simple. They become hard once refunds, discounts, and rule changes appear - and clients start asking why the numbers are wrong.
Reduce spreadsheet work
Replace manual payout calculations and custom spreadsheets with a structured ledger that tracks every allocation automatically.
Support complex workflows
Configurable split rules by product, variant, tag, or date - including promotional periods and versioned policy changes.
Explainable payout reports
Every ledger entry shows the rule used, policy version, calculation inputs, and amounts - so clients can see exactly why a number is correct.
Refund-safe reversals
Refunds create linked reversing entries based on the original allocation - not a recalculation under today's rules. History stays correct and auditable.
Simulate before activation
Preview the impact of a rule change on past orders before it goes live. Useful when renegotiating creator or vendor terms mid-campaign.
Best client fit
SplitLayer is most useful for clients where the payout logic is more complex than a single fixed percentage. If any of these describe a current or recurring client, it's worth a conversation.
-
Creator-led product drops
Brands selling with creators or collaborators where each product has a revenue-share arrangement.
-
Vendor and partner payout stores
Stores paying multiple vendors or partners from order revenue, with different rates per product or supplier.
-
Consignment stores
Businesses where consignors receive a share of each sale and refunds need to be tracked back to the original allocation.
-
Marketplace-style Shopify stores
Multi-brand or multi-seller stores where platform revenue needs to be split from seller earnings on each order.
-
Agencies managing multiple client stores
Agencies that see this problem across multiple clients benefit from having a reliable, consistent tool to recommend.
How agencies typically find this problem
"A client asks us to build a custom spreadsheet for creator payouts. Then refunds start happening and the numbers no longer add up."
"The client changed their creator commission rate halfway through a campaign and now can't tell which orders used which rate."
"A vendor is disputing their payout and the merchant can't explain the exact calculation. Support tickets increase every month."
What you get
We start with low friction. No contracts, no commitments - just the tools to validate whether SplitLayer is a good fit for your clients.
Free dev-store setup
Use SplitLayer on development stores at no cost. Explore the configuration, test payout logic, and validate the workflow before recommending it to a client.
Guided first-client onboarding
We'll work through the first client setup with you - defining the initial policy, configuring the split rules, and reviewing the first payout export together.
Payout workflow review
Before a client goes live, we can review their payout workflow together - commission rules, refund handling, and export format - to make sure everything is correct.
Future referral program
As SplitLayer grows, agencies that introduce clients will have the opportunity to join a formal referral program. We'll discuss terms once you've seen it working.
How agency partnerships work
We keep the process lightweight. The goal is learning first - a referral relationship only makes sense after you've seen it work for a client.
Get in touch
Tell us about your agency and the kind of clients you work with. No sales process - just a conversation about whether you see this problem, and how often.
Explore on a dev store
Set up SplitLayer on a development store. Configure a split rule, run a simulated order, see a refund reversal, and export a payout summary. Takes under an hour.
Introduce a pilot client
When it looks like a fit for a real client, we'll onboard them together - first policy setup, first payout export, and first refund walkthrough - to make sure it works end to end.
Grow together
As more clients benefit, we formalise the relationship with referral terms, co-marketing opportunities, and priority support for agency-managed stores.
