Frequently Asked Questions

For Merchants

There is no fixed fee for merchants using Saleshare Affiliatizer. In other words, if no sales are generated, there is no charge. Thereafter, merchants will be charged an amount that represents the affiliate payout percentage (that they have set in the app settings), applied to each Saleshare-driven checkout subtotal (i.e. not including shipping). An additional 0.1% is added to this affiliate payout percentage as a contribution to the upkeep and maintenance of the Saleshare network.

For Affiliates

There is no fixed fee for affiliates using Saleshare Affiliatizer. Thereafter, merchants will be charged an amount that represents the affiliate payout percentage (that they have set in the app settings), applied to each Saleshare-driven checkout subtotal (i.e. not including shipping). An additional 0.1% is added to this affiliate payout percentage as a contribution to the upkeep and maintenance of the Saleshare network.

Collection and Payout Schedule

A sale generated by Saleshare which has subsequently been returned by the customer is voided, as if no sale had occured. For this reason, affiliate rewards are collected from the merchant and passed on to the affiliate after a 30 day period. If a return occurs after that collection and payout, this will be deducted from the subsequent payout and reward settlement.

Affiliatizer is a Shopify app that connects Shopify store owners with affiliates (influencers, content creators, bloggers, youtubers, etc.) through the use of special URLs to your store (affiliate links), along with a unique discount code. Affiliatizer keeps track of sales coming from an affiliate link and code, providing accounting and statistics.

Once the app is installed through the Shopify App Store, the merchant website will be listed on the Affiliatizer platform, which means that influencers will be able to evaluate the store and promote it. This is done by choosing a unique coupon code, which will generate a URL. The influencer can then publish or post that URL along with the code. If a visiter or follower clicks on that affiliate link, the Shopify app will detect this, leading the potential customer to a coupon code page where they can enter the code that came with the link. This is to prevent "cookie-stuffing" (see below). If the customer goes on to the checkout, the discount will be applied and Affiliatizer keeps track of this.

Affiliatizer is very easy to set up - just install the app from the Shopify App Store and you're good to go. In the Affiliatizer dahsboard (under the Shopify Admin's Apps page), the Coupons menu lets you set the discount offered to customers and the percentage reward given to the affiliate.

First register as an affiliate (influencer) here. Once you verify your email address, provide a link to at least one of your channels (instagram, blog, youtube, etc.). Then browse stores in the Stores section and click 'Join' on any store you want to create a personal coupon for.

Affiliatizer uses a fraud protection system that prevents cookie-stuffing and coupon directories, which means that sales are only counted if the customer makes a purchase knowingly through a promotional link.
