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.
