Why use Simple Affiliate instead of an external affiliate network?

External networks typically take a cut of referred sales and keep affiliates on the network's domain. Simple Affiliate keeps the program inside your Shopify store:

  • Affiliates stay on your domain and customer accounts
  • You own the relationships and do not pay network referral fees
  • Tracking, payouts, and tax forms live in Shopify admin
  • Setup is minutes, not a separate partnership stack

If you already have customers who would promote the brand, an in-house program is usually simpler and cheaper than recruiting through a network.
