Refersion has been running since 2013 and powers affiliate, influencer, and ambassador programs for thousands of DTC ecommerce brands. First-party tracking, unlimited offers, and custom commission structures are the selling points. UpOrder sits alongside it, handling transactional email customisation with product recommendations and loyalty offers for repeat purchase.

The word to notice is lifetime. You earn 20% for as long as the customer stays subscribed, either on a direct-billed Refersion plan or a Shopify-billed UpOrder plan. Two conditions apply: the customer stays active and you stay an Active Partner under the program terms. No twelve-month cap, no step-down after year one.

Selling Software to People Who Already Get It

Your buyer is an ecommerce brand that has decided to launch an affiliate program. That means Shopify agencies, DTC consultants, and anyone writing about ecommerce growth are sitting on qualified traffic. The pitch is easy because a brand shopping for tracking software already understands why they need it.

One thing to get right before you apply. This program is for promoting Refersion and UpOrder software to businesses. If you want to promote products from brands using Refersion, that is the Marketplace instead, a completely separate signup.

First-party attribution avoids third-party cookie loss

Cons

Manual vetting rejects incomplete or unverified applications
Active Partner status required to keep earning

Captain’s Verdict

Lifetime 20% recurring on ecommerce infrastructure is about as durable as affiliate income gets, and UpOrder gives you a second product without a second application. Manual approval and unpublished payout terms are the only real friction. Captain Approved!
