Affiliate & creator programs for Shopify
Stop paying full commission on traffic you already bought.
Affiliate Loop runs your partner programme inside Shopify — links, personal coupon codes, attribution, holds, payouts. It is the only one that knows the difference between a sale your creator earned and a sale your ad budget bought, and settles each at its own rate.
One month, settled two ways
Base rate 20% · Ad rate 5%| Attributed sales | Sales | Flat 20% | With the split |
|---|---|---|---|
| Creator’s own audienceearned | $23,540 | $4,708 | $4,708 |
| Content you put ad spend behindbought | $18,640 | $3,728 | $932 |
| Commission owed | $42,180 | $8,436 | $5,640 |
kept on a $42k month — because the sales your own ads produced no longer pay a creator rate on top. Every ad we push carries a tag, so the ledger can tell them apart on its own.
The loop
Click to payout, without you touching a spreadsheet.
Five stages. Each writes to the same ledger, so what an affiliate sees in their portal and what you owe in yours can never drift apart.
- 01
Click
Your creator shares
yourstore.com/apps/affiliate-loop/go/dana. We log the click, set a 30-day attribution cookie and send the shopper straight to the product — no interstitial, no redirect chain. - 02
Code
Every creator also gets a personal Shopify discount code, created the moment they go active. Someone who screenshots a link instead of tapping it still gets credited, and the shopper still gets your customer discount.
- 03
Order
Attribution is written when Shopify says paid, not when the cart is built. The referral rides on the order itself, so any commission can be audited back to a named person and a first click.
- 04
Hold
Commission sits unpayable through your return window. A refund or a cancellation reverses it automatically and takes the sale back off that creator’s lifetime total, so tiers cannot be earned on money you gave back.
- 05
Payout
Approve everything that has matured, pay in one run, and export the ledger. Paid someone by bank transfer already? Record it, and it stops showing as owed — it can never be paid twice.
What’s inside
Built for a programme you actually run.
Rates that survive real negotiations
A base rate, per-product overrides, tiers that step up on lifetime sales, and promo windows with an end date so they expire themselves. A promo is a floor, never a ceiling — a creator on a better negotiated rate keeps it.
A partner portal with no passwords
Creators sign in with a link you email them. Inside: their share link, their coupon, what they have earned, what is still on hold, the leaderboard and every payout you have made.
Creator content, then the ad
Creators submit video and stills into a review queue. Approve one and push it to Meta as a paused ad, tagged so any sales it drives settle at your ad rate instead of the full one.
A ledger that reconciles
Holds, a payout threshold that rolls over instead of dribbling out $4 payments, CSV export for your bookkeeper, and reconciliation for money you sent outside the app.
Bring people in three ways
A public apply page on your storefront, direct invites by email, and a recruit bonus that pays your existing creator when the person they brought makes their first sale — not when they sign up.
Your store’s data stays your store’s
Every record is scoped to one shop at the database layer, not by convention. Uninstall and the sessions go immediately; the programme itself is held briefly in case you came back by accident, then erased.
Pricing
Seven days free, then billed on your Shopify invoice.
Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial. Nothing is charged until it ends, and you cancel from your Apps page like any other app.
