What partner rewards are, and who can get them
Partner rewards are offers from Shopify's third-party partners, part of the Shopify Balance rewards program.
No Shopify help page we read on October 19, 2026 (partner rewards, cashback rewards, the rewards index, the Balance overview, eligibility) names the partners or says when a partner reward arrives; the Balance product page names only Google.
The partner-rewards help page names no country of its own; the limit comes from Balance, which needs a physical residential address in the US or Puerto Rico. See who can open a Shopify Balance account.
Do partner rewards count toward the cashback cap?
No. Balance cashback is a percentage of eligible Shopify purchases paid from your Balance account, up to a maximum of $2,000 USD a year, and the cashback deposit doesn't include cashback from Shopify partners. The partner-rewards page names the cap directly:
Rewards offered by Shopify Partners don't count towards the $2,000 USD maximum for your cashback rewards.
Balance cashback on Shopify purchases itself requires a Balance card set as your primary payment method; see how you qualify for Balance cashback. Shopify Credit runs a separate cashback program.
The Shopify Balance product page hedges that “this cashback limit may not apply to Shopify Partner offers.” Plan by the firmer help pages and leave partner offers out of your cashback math.
How you redeem a partner reward
Partner rewards aren't applied automatically: you must actively redeem them. The Shopify Balance help overview says you “receive partner offers when you use your Shopify Balance card.”
Start in your admin: the Shopify Balance rewards page lists all current rewards, so look there for open partner offers before you redeem one.
