The affiliate program your Cash on Delivery store can finally trust
Most affiliate apps pay a commission the moment an order is placed β a disaster for COD, where many orders are returned or never delivered. COD Affiliate confirms every commission on delivery, so you only ever pay for orders that actually arrive. Create affiliates, share tracking links, and approve payouts with confidence.
Affiliate marketing that survives Cash on Delivery
In COD markets, a placed order is not a paid order β returns and failed deliveries are part of daily life. Standard affiliate apps ignore this and pay a commission the instant checkout completes, so a single influencer running fake or low-quality orders can drain your budget. COD Affiliate is built the other way around: it tracks every referral with a first-party cookie, attributes the order to the right affiliate, and only confirms the commission when the order is delivered. You stay in control β approve or decline in bulk, set custom rates per affiliate, and pay out when you are ready.
Everything you need to run affiliates on COD
One app to create affiliates, track referrals, confirm commissions on delivery and pay with confidence.
Affiliate management
Create influencers, partners, resellers or loyal customers as affiliates, each with a unique tracking link, a custom commission rate, and an Approved, Pending or Disabled status you control.
Commission confirmed on delivery
The whole point: trigger commissions on order, on payment, on delivery or manually. Choose on-delivery and returned or cancelled orders never earn a payout β ending the affiliate fraud that breaks COD stores.
First-party link tracking
Every affiliate gets a clean ?ref link. A first-party cookie tracks visitors and orders are matched by checkout token, cart token, hashed email and cookie, so attribution holds up even on COD checkouts.
Bulk approve & decline
Work through a Pending Commissions queue and approve or decline in bulk, with a decline reason on the ones you reject β review a whole delivery batch in seconds, not one order at a time.
Per-affiliate stats
Each affiliate has live stats β conversions, pending and earned β plus a detail page with top products, top cities and countries, and a full order list to see exactly what they drive.
One-click storefront tracking
Turn on tracking with a single Theme App Extension block β no code. A ScriptTag fallback covers every theme, and session, page-view and event tracking is automatic.
Built for the way COD actually works
Three reasons COD Affiliate pays for itself instead of bleeding your budget.
Pay for delivered orders, never returned ones
In COD markets, returns and undelivered parcels are normal β and a commission paid on the order is money gone the moment a parcel comes back. Confirm commissions on delivery and the problem disappears.
- Commission triggers: on order, on payment, on delivery or manual
- Returned and cancelled orders never confirm a commission
- Approve or decline each commission, with a decline reason
- "Tracking-only" mode for partners who get a link but no payout
Every sale matched to the right affiliate
A referral program is only fair if the right person gets credit. COD Affiliate uses a first-party cookie and a configurable attribution window, then matches orders through several signals so credit lands where it belongs.
- First-party cookie tracking from a simple ?ref link
- Attribution window from 1 to 365 days (default 60)
- First-touch, last-touch, linear and position-based models
- Order matching by checkout token, cart token, email hash and cookie
You run the program, on your terms
This is a merchant tool, not a black box. You create the affiliates, set the rules, share the links and decide who gets paid β with stats and a clear order trail behind every decision.
- Percentage-of-order or flat-amount commission rules
- Custom commission overrides per affiliate
- Default commission, approval rule and custom tracking parameter
- GDPR controls with IP and email hashing, plus data retention
Live in minutes, not days
No developer required β create an affiliate, share the link, confirm on delivery.
