What is Refersion?
Refersion is affiliate management software for ecommerce brands. It tracks the sales that affiliates, influencers, publishers and ambassadors bring in, sets up commission offers and pays partners. Tracking runs on a first-party domain, without cookies or user redirects. You can add attribution rules based on unique links, coupon codes, customer email, product SKU or manual credit.
Brands can create percent-of-sale, flat-rate, subscription, SKU-specific, multi-level and tiered offers. They can also list a program in the Refersion Affiliate Marketplace so affiliates can find it and apply. Payouts go out through PayPal, Trolley, ACH, wire, gift cards or manual payment, and tax forms are handled automatically. The platform integrates with Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Magento and Stripe. It also offers an API and an MCP server, so you can manage a program from Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini.
Paid plans charge a monthly fee plus a percentage of affiliate-driven sales. The plans are aimed at DTC brands, from new programs up to brands doing more than $1M GMV a year.
