Everything you need to run partners at scale

From attribution to payouts — without the compliance headaches.

True multi-tier overrides

Pay affiliates on the sales they drive, plus a smaller override to the sponsor who recruited them — up to 10 capped tiers on Scale (the deepest on Shopify).

Click + code attribution

Every affiliate gets a unique Shopify discount code AND a last-click Web Pixel cookie window — so sales are credited even when the code isn't applied at checkout.

Recurring commissions

Keep crediting the original affiliate for a customer's repeat orders — even without a code or link — matched by a privacy-safe hashed id, never personal data.

Performance auto-tiers

Reward your best partners automatically — once an affiliate passes a revenue milestone, their commission rate steps up.

Milestone bonuses & targets

Set one-time rewards — e.g. “$50 when they reach $1,000 in sales” by revenue or order count. Bonuses pay out automatically alongside commissions.

Per-product & per-campaign control

Override commission on specific products, and run multiple named campaigns — affiliates add ?c=campaign to route and measure each promotion.

Flexible payouts

Pay by one-click PayPal, store credit, or a Wise/bank batch CSV — with payout minimums, auto-payouts, CSV export and one-tap mark-as-paid. Affiliates are emailed on every step.

Affiliate broadcasts

Email your whole affiliate roster a promo or program update in a click — each gets a personalized copy with their own link and code. No mail-merge tools needed.

Branded portal + leaderboard

A clean, mobile-first portal with earnings charts, team, links, QR codes, payouts and a gamified leaderboard — themed to your brand, passwordless login.

Swipe-copy asset library

Give partners ready-to-share banners and one-click swipe copy with their link and code auto-filled — organized by category so they promote you faster.

Custom signup fields

Ask new affiliates the questions that matter — audience size, main platform, how they'll promote you — and review the answers on each profile.

On-site recruitment

Drop a “Become an affiliate” block into your theme and turn happy customers into partners — your program grows from your own traffic.

Fraud protection

Commission is automatically withheld on self-referrals and disposable-inbox farming, so payouts go to genuine sales.

CouponLeak Guard

Stop paying commission on discount codes that leak to coupon sites. Orders that use a code without a tracked referral click are flagged — or their commission withheld automatically.

Real-time dashboard & analytics

Affiliate-driven revenue, commissions owed and top affiliates — plus a deeper analytics view with conversion rate, EPC, AOV, attribution mix and per-tier breakdown.

Developer API & webhooks

A REST API to manage affiliates, read stats and report conversions from headless or custom storefronts — plus signed outbound webhooks. (Scale)

Compliant & privacy-first

Commissions on real sales only — no buy-ins, no recruitment pay. GDPR data-subject webhooks, AES-256 encryption, no customer PII stored.

Live in minutes

Four steps from install to your first paid commission.

1

Install & configure

Add Override to your store and set tier rates, hold period, payout minimum and branding in a quick wizard.

2

Affiliates join free

Partners sign up via your branded portal (optionally with a sponsor code) and get a referral link + discount code on approval.

3

They share, you grow

Customers buy using the code. Override attributes the order and computes commissions across every tier automatically.

4

Approve & pay out

Commissions clear after your hold window, then you generate a payout batch and mark it paid. Refunds claw back automatically.

Compliant and payable by design

Override is built so you stay a legitimate affiliate program — not a scheme — and so Shopify and your payment provider keep you payable.

  • Sales-only commissions, no joining fees, capped tier depth.
  • Minimal data: order id, totals, codes — never customer PII.
  • Mandatory GDPR/PCD webhooks, retention purge, encryption at rest.
  • FTC-disclosure text on the portal and marketing assets.

Frequently asked

Is this a pyramid scheme?+

No. Override pays commission strictly on real product sales — never on recruitment, signups or headcount. There are no joining fees or buy-ins, and tier depth is capped (up to 10). Each tier beyond the first is a small override on actual sales.

What customer data do you store?+

The minimum: order id, order name, totals, currency and discount codes. We never store customer name, email, phone or address. We implement Shopify's mandatory data-subject webhooks and encrypt payout details with AES-256-GCM.

How does attribution work?+

Two ways, automatically. Each affiliate gets a unique Shopify discount code; when a customer checks out with it, we map the order to the affiliate. We also run a privacy-friendly last-click Web Pixel, so a referred sale is still credited within your cookie window even if the code isn't applied at checkout.

How are affiliates paid?+

Commissions clear after your hold window. Connect your PayPal to pay affiliates in one click, or export a CSV and pay however you like — then mark the batch paid. Affiliates are emailed automatically when they earn and when they're paid.

Can I change commission rates later?+

Yes. You control tier count, rates, commission base, hold days, payout minimum and branding at any time — plus optional performance auto-tiers that raise a top affiliate's rate at a revenue milestone. Changes apply to future conversions.
