Refersion
Refersion is an affiliate marketing platform that tracks sales from affiliates, influencers and ambassadors, calculates commissions and pays partners, for ecommerce brands on Shopify and other stores.
Updated October 2026
Overview: What is Refersion?
Launch costs $39 a month plus 3% of affiliate-generated sales, and a free Marketplace listing is available (checked October 2026).
A brand sets up its program, recruits partners or finds them in the Refersion Marketplace, and gives each one links or codes. Refersion tracks the resulting orders on a first-party domain, applies commission rules by percentage, flat amount or SKU, and pays partners in bulk through PayPal, ACH or bank transfer, with tax forms handled. It has been on the Shopify App Store since 2013. It's built for direct-to-consumer brands, not for B2B partner or reseller programs.
Fit: Ideal customer profile.
Direct-to-consumer and ecommerce brands, mostly on Shopify, running affiliate, influencer or ambassador programs and wanting tracking, commissions and payouts in one place. Because every paid plan takes a share of affiliate-driven sales, costs grow with program success. B2B software companies running partner or reseller programs usually need a partner platform instead.
