What it does
UpPromote manages Shopify affiliate and referral programs, including partner registration, tracking, commissions and payouts. Install it through a Shopify account. Free supports a basic program; paid plans add capacity and controls, with fees tied to approved referral sales.
If a shopper follows affiliate A's link but uses affiliate B's assigned coupon, the basic rule credits B. A link and coupon from the same affiliate earn one commission, not two.
Customer and product connections introduce exceptions. Tracking priority chooses the affiliate, while commission-rate priority determines the amount; review both when adding special product rates or lifetime customer assignments.
Monthly Shopify subscriptions use USD and a 30-day billing cycle:
| Plan | Base fee | Performance fee | Monthly referral-review allowance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | USD 0 | None | USD 3,000 in referral sales |
| Growth | USD 29.99 | 2% | 300 referral orders |
| Professional | USD 89.99 | 1.5% | 600 referral orders |
| Enterprise | USD 199.99 | 1% | Unlimited referral orders |
Performance fees count approved referral sales, so reviewing an order affects the app charge as well as the affiliate's earnings. Paid plans have a fourteen-day trial, and annual subscriptions are available. Free includes one program and one coupon per affiliate. Growth permits unlimited programs; Professional adds automatic coupons and PayPal payments, while Enterprise adds multi-store and unlimited staff access.
