UpPromote review

UpPromote is the most affordable way for a Shopify store to run its own affiliate program. The free plan covers one program with link and coupon tracking, performance analytics, fraud detection and a basic registration form. Growth at $29.99 per month, or $24.99 billed yearly, adds unlimited programs, a premium registration form, customer referrals, a marketplace listing and store credit payments. Professional at $89.99 adds unlimited coupons per affiliate, anti-leak discounts, auto-generated coupons, PayPal auto-pay, custom affiliate links, multi-level marketing and gifts. Enterprise at $199.99 adds unlimited staff accounts and multi-store sync. The trade-off is a performance fee on approved referral sales: 2% on Growth, 1.5% on Professional and 1% on Enterprise, which can outgrow the subscription once affiliates sell a lot. A Creator Discovery add-on from $39 per month searches 380M+ creators across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.
