Integration Logic

  • Upfluence for Shopify

    This integration establishes a direct, two-way connection between Upfluence and Shopify. When an influencer is enrolled in an affiliate program within Upfluence, the integration automatically generates a unique discount code or affiliate link in your Shopify store. When a customer uses this code or link to make a purchase, Shopify sends the order details (including sales amount and items purchased) back to Upfluence. Upfluence then attributes the sale to the correct influencer, calculates the commission, and updates the campaign performance dashboard. The integration also syncs your Shopify product catalog to Upfluence, making it easy to seed products for influencer campaigns.
