Overview
COD Affiliate is an affiliate, influencer and referral program manager built for Cash on Delivery Shopify stores. You create affiliates, share their tracking links, and the app attributes orders and confirms commissions on delivery — so returned and cancelled orders are never paid. It is merchant-facing: you manage everything from your Shopify admin.
4 itemsGetting started
You can be live in a few minutes. Install the app, turn on tracking, create an affiliate and share their link.
5 itemsCreating affiliates
An affiliate can be an influencer, partner, reseller or loyal customer. Each one gets a unique link, its own commission rate and a status you control.
4 itemsTracking links & cookies
Every affiliate gets a clean link with a tracking parameter. A first-party cookie remembers the referral so the order is attributed even on a Cash on Delivery checkout.
4 itemsCommissions & approval
Commissions are confirmed on delivery by default, so you only pay for orders that actually arrive. Review and clear them from the Pending Commissions queue.
4 itemsAttribution
Attribution decides which affiliate gets credit for an order. Configure the window and the model, and the app matches orders through several signals.
4 itemsStorefront setup
Tracking runs on your storefront through a one-click theme block, with an automatic fallback so it works on any theme.
