Attribution you can trust — every referral, exactly right

Referrals are now matched by carrying the affiliate's code through the install, so the right affiliate is credited with certainty.

Why we built it: a founder noticed an install that wasn't theirs credited to an affiliate. Accurate attribution is the whole point of an affiliate program, so we rebuilt it to be exact instead of a best guess.

An affiliate should only be credited when a merchant genuinely came through their link. When an install didn't carry a tracking code, we used to fall back to a 30-day 'last click' window — but a click carries no shop identifier, so that's a guess, and a guess can occasionally credit the wrong affiliate.

Now you can carry the affiliate's referral code all the way through your app's install — the code rides the Shopify OAuth flow and reaches us intact, so the match is certain. It's a one-time, ~10-minute setup in Settings → Tracking, with copy-paste examples for Remix, Next.js, Express and more.

Guessed matches are no longer auto-approved: they wait for your confirmation in the referrals queue, so a stray click can never quietly pay out. Migrating from Mantle? Your existing links keep working — nothing breaks.
