Head to head
Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureTraditional 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.
Trabajar con influencers suele terminar en códigos repartidos a mano y comisiones calculadas en planillas, sin saber quién vendió. Kool le da a cada creator un link de seguimiento y un código de descuento que se crea solo en la tienda, atribuye cada venta a quien la generó y calcula su comisión. La aprueba a los treinta días, tras verificar que la orden no fue cancelada ni devuelta.
