The affiliate loop: store to payout
The end-to-end flow — connect a store, create a program, share links, attribute sales, run payouts.
Afflo connects four things: your store, your programs, your partners, and your payouts. Once they’re linked, every click, sale, and commission shows up in one place.
The loop in five steps
- Connect the store. Shopify syncs orders into Afflo so every sale can be matched to the partner who drove it.
- Create a program. A program defines how partners earn — a percentage of sale or a fixed amount, how long attribution lasts, and whether to issue a discount code.
- Invite or discover partners. Invite affiliates by email, share a public sign-up link, or use Creator Search and Outreach to find new creators.
- Share tracking links and codes. Every partner gets a unique referral link and, optionally, a discount code. When a shopper uses either, Afflo attributes the sale.
- Review and pay. Open Payouts, check what’s due, and run it through your connected provider — PayPal, Tremendous, or Trolley.
Who does what
The brand team (or you, on their behalf) sets up programs, approves affiliates, and runs payouts from the main app. Affiliates and creators sign in to their own portal to grab their link, view clicks and earnings, and set their payout method.
