UpPromote

UpPromote installs into a Shopify store and turns customers into affiliates without anybody writing tracking code. Recruitment forms, coupon-based attribution and automated payouts all sit inside the admin a merchant already uses. The performance fee on top of the monthly price means a program that works costs more, which is either fair or annoying depending on the month.

Free covers one program, link and coupon tracking and $3,000 of referral review a month. Growth is $29.99 a month plus 2 percent of successful referral sales, Professional is $89.99 plus 1.5 percent and Enterprise is $199.99 plus 1 percent, each with a larger review allowance. Paying yearly saves 17 percent and every paid plan has a 14-day trial. The performance fee applies only to sales from approved referrals, which is what makes the free tier usable rather than decorative.

Shopify merchants and creators with a Shopify storefront who want an affiliate program running this week. Anybody selling somewhere else should look at Tapfiliate or Refersion instead.
