Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureAnyone can promote your store: a customer, an influencer, a niche blog, a reseller. What is missing is a way to see who sent which order and to pay them fairly. Recruit affiliates with a signup page, give each one an affiliate link and a coupon code, and every referral order is attributed within a 30-day window and tagged in your admin. Approve conversions, then pay by PayPal, Payoneer or bank transfer.
Traditional affiliate apps assume every order = a settled order. In COD markets, delivery often fails or customers refuse, leaving merchants overcompensating affiliates on uncollected sales. COD Affiliates tracks every order through three states (Generated, Confirmed, Collected) and only releases commissions when the cash is actually in your pocket.
- Unlimited commission programs: percentage, fixed amount, or tiered rates
- Automatic referral tracking with 30-day attribution window
- Real-time analytics dashboard for clicks, conversions, and revenue
- Affiliate portal for partners to track earnings and grab links
- Release commissions only when COD orders are actually collected
- Three attribution methods: affiliate links, discount codes, exclusive products
- Built-in COD-aware calculator factoring shipping, returns, effectiveness
- External affiliate portal where partners track their commissions and copy links
