AffRef
What it is
AffRef tracks one-time and recurring affiliate commissions for Shopify merchants, SaaS businesses, and mobile app subscription products. It supports referral links and coupon codes, first-party tracking, and a real-time analytics dashboard. Each brand can offer a branded affiliate portal with signup questions and dashboards for links, coupon codes, click statistics, balances, and payout history. Payout options include Stripe Connect auto-pay, PayPal Mass Pay CSV, Wise Batch Payments CSV, and accounting CSV exports. Listed integrations include Shopify, Stripe, Lemon Squeezy, RevenueCat, Next.js, and custom platforms; mobile adapters include Adapty, Qonversion, and StoreKit. Its iOS and Android SDK captures affiliate codes through Universal Links and App Links without IDFA or paste prompts. Merchants can hold conversions through a default 30-day refund window and adjust that period brand-wide or per affiliate. CSV exports cover affiliates, conversions, payouts, and clicks. AffRef is available on Android, iOS, web, and through an API. There is no free plan; paid plans start at $49 a month, and a seven-day trial is listed. WooCommerce currently requires manual integration.
