Everything UpPromote tracks, netted against what it actually costs.

Affiliate clicks, conversions and revenue from UpPromote, orders and margin from Shopify, attribution from Polar. Affiliate sits in the same blended view as every other channel, refreshed automatically.

Affiliate Revenue

“How much did affiliates and referrers actually drive?”

Clicks, conversions and revenue by affiliate and program, synced from UpPromote and matched to real Shopify orders.

revenue by affiliate / program

Commission & Payouts

“What is the affiliate channel really costing me?”

Commission rates and payout amounts land next to revenue, so the channel shows contribution after commission, not gross sales.

commission cost per affiliate

Coupon Codes

“Are affiliate codes cannibalizing full-price orders?”

Coupon-code usage tied to orders, so you can see when a discount code is just discounting sales you would have made anyway.

coupon code usage by order

Attributed vs Reported

“Is affiliate revenue over-credited on last click?”

Affiliate tools claim the sale on last-click coupon or link. Polar shows UpPromote-reported revenue next to first-party, de-duplicated, click-attributed revenue.

New vs Returning

“Are affiliates buying new customers or reselling to old ones?”

Split affiliate-driven orders into new and returning customers to see whether the channel grows the base or just pays commission on repeat buyers.

Blended Context

“What is affiliate worth next to everything else?”
