The Turnkey Playbook for Flawless Influencer Attribution

Are your influencer campaigns bleeding value? You provide custom affiliate links, but influencers shorten, miscopy, or forget them, sending your attribution data into the 'dark social' void. This makes it impossible to measure ROI and reward your best partners.

Stop chasing broken links and start automating your influencer program. This playbook shows you how to deploy a turnkey SaaS platform that gives each influencer their own professional portal. They can generate their own unique, error-proof tracking links, access creative assets, and monitor their performance in real-time. By integrating directly with your Shopify store, every click and conversion is automatically tracked and attributed, eliminating data loss and guesswork.

Expected Outcomes

  • Complete elimination of data loss from incorrect or stripped affiliate links.
  • Accurate, real-time attribution for every influencer-driven sale and click.
  • Drastically reduced administrative time spent managing links and tracking results.
  • A professional, self-service portal that empowers influencers and strengthens relationships.

Integration Logic

  • Shopify

    This three-way integration centers around Shopify as the transaction hub. When a customer makes a purchase through a Tapfiliate affiliate link, Shopify's order data is sent to Tapfiliate to generate a commission. Simultaneously, Shopify syncs new customer data (name, email, order details) to a designated Mailchimp audience for post-purchase email sequences. Additionally, new affiliates approved in Tapfiliate can be automatically added to a separate Mailchimp audience, enabling automated onboarding and communication.
