What the Integration Does for You
The Shopify connection is more than a login link. Once it’s live, four things work together: order sync, order tagging, storefront touchpoints, and billing.
Orders and attribution
Shopify order webhooks flow into Afflo continuously. Each order is matched to a partner through their tracked referral link or discount code, and credited sales surface on the Dashboard and in each affiliate’s Performance tab.
There’s also an optional toggle in the program wizard’s Advanced Settings step to tag referral orders inside Shopify itself — useful if your fulfillment or finance workflows filter on order tags.
The storefront touchpoints
The integration reaches your shoppers directly:
- Discount codes — generated per partner and redeemed at Shopify checkout
- The Storefront Modal — the referral welcome popup shoppers see when they arrive through a partner’s link, configured in the program wizard’s last step
Samples and billing
Two more things ride on the same connection:
- Sample authorizations — approving an affiliate’s sample request creates a zero-cost order in Shopify, so seeding goes through your normal fulfillment flow
- Plan billing — your Afflo plan is charged through Shopify Managed Pricing, so plan changes and invoices live in Shopify, not Afflo
One caution: TikTok Shop appears as a reporting dimension on affiliate profiles, but it isn’t a connectable integration yet — don’t promise it to clients.
