You pay separately, at cost
- Network or software fees and any commission override, paid to the provider
- The commission you pay partners on each sale
- Processing fees on partner payouts, if your software charges them
What you supply
- Admin access to your shop and its checkout
- The commission rate and the products partners may promote
- An account with the chosen network or software, in your name
What the price does not cover
- Setup only; finding and recruiting partners is a separate, larger job
- Networks decide whether to accept your brand, and how long that takes
- Partner sales depend on the partners and your offer; none are promised
The rules that apply
- ASA and CAP guidance says both the brand and the affiliate are responsible for affiliate ads under the UK CAP Code, which needs marketing to be obviously identifiable as such (rule 2.1). ASA and CAP: Affiliate marketing
- Since 6 April 2025, UK law treats using editorial content to promote a product, where the trader paid for the promotion without making that clear, as unfair in all circumstances. Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, Schedule 20 (legislation.gov.uk)
A cheaper way to do it
- Shopify Collabs, Shopify's own affiliate and creator app, is free to install; a 2.9% processing fee may apply to automatic commission payments. Shopify App Store: Shopify Collabs
