# Partner & affiliate tools for Shopify app developers Source: watchfor.tools, an independent directory for people who build Shopify apps. No paid placement, no affiliate links. Not affiliated with Shopify. Canonical: https://watchfor.tools/categories/partner Attributing installs to the agency, affiliate or partner that drove them. 7 listed here, and 2 more that also belong in it. ## Tools ### Affilitrak for Apps Page: https://watchfor.tools/tools/affilitrak Summary: Affiliate tracking for apps, built to take over a Mantle program as it is. Price: Free, 20% on marketplace affiliates Watch for: The pitch is "same tracking as Mantle" and "built on Mantle's tracking infrastructure", which is Affilitrak's claim about itself, not one Mantle makes. Mantle's own wind-down page lists it beside Shoffi, PartnerDock and Orbit as one of four places to go, with no partnership, no data handover and no preference stated. So ask what that infrastructure claim means before you give it your attribution. The brand also covers two products, and the numbers on affilitrak.com belong to the other one, the merchant affiliate app on the Shopify App Store. Those are 1,000 stores, 10,000 referrals tracked and a 5.0 from 200 ratings, and nothing on the app developer page says how many app developers run a program here. Free is not settled pricing either: the commission on marketplace affiliates had no stated rate on 6 November 2026. That marketplace is the only thing that earns, so an introduction from it is a sale, not a recommendation. No company or person is named anywhere on the site, and the link to Beckett Oliphant comes from his own launch announcement, not from the site. ### PartnerDock Page: https://watchfor.tools/tools/partnerdock Summary: Affiliate tracking with a software fee, not a cut of revenue. Price: Free, then $19 / $49 / $99 Watch for: Very new, and the site is built as a Mantle migration funnel. Ask how many live programs they run before trusting it with attribution. ### Shoffi Page: https://watchfor.tools/tools/shoffi Summary: The largest affiliate network aimed at Shopify apps. Price: Free until $100/mo referred Watch for: One developer publicly reported 16 affiliates and 3 attributed clicks over several months on the marketplace. Shoffi's own rep admitted it is a tool, not a growth guarantee. Judge the tracking, and give the marketplace less weight. ### PartnerJam Page: https://watchfor.tools/tools/partnerjam Summary: Cookie-independent affiliate tracking with a direct Partner API integration. Price: 30-day trial, then $49.99 / $99.99 a month Watch for: It is not free. Each plan is a 30-day trial, then $49.99 or $99.99 a month, with the plan set by your revenue. It is a side product of an app developer, so check the changelog before you commit a program to it. ### Orbit Page: https://watchfor.tools/tools/orbit Summary: Partner onboarding, leads, commissions and white-label portals. Price: Free for Marmeto partners Watch for: Marmeto publishes a comparison of Orbit against every rival, and it recommends Orbit, as expected. Useful as a list of features, not as a verdict. ### Krutva Page: https://watchfor.tools/tools/krutva Summary: Partner relationship management, named in community threads. Price: Not published Watch for: The least evidence of any listing in this directory. Confirm it is still in business and serves Shopify app developers before spending time on it. ### PartnerStack Page: https://watchfor.tools/tools/partnerstack Summary: A full B2B partner program platform, not built for Shopify but used from it. Price: Not published. Set per program in a demo Scope: not Shopify-only Watch for: Nothing here knows what a Shopify app is. There is no Partner API connection, no install attribution and no App Store anything. So a Shopify app developer wires it up by hand and pays enterprise prices, while the cheap, native equivalents are two rows up in this category. Pricing is set per program in a demo and not published, so you cannot compare it with PartnerDock or Shoffi without booking a sales call first. The 30 to 45 day onboarding is their own number, and it tells you what kind of company this is sold to. It is listed because an app developer selling to agencies and enterprise partners at scale does eventually outgrow a link tracker. This is the platform they end up looking at. ### Elevate Page: https://watchfor.tools/tools/elevate Listed under: Analytics & billing (https://watchfor.tools/categories/biz), and also in this category Summary: MRR, ARR, churn and retention for Shopify app companies. Price: Free for Marmeto partners Watch for: Free access requires being an approved Marmeto partner, which is the real product. ### Marmeto Page: https://watchfor.tools/tools/marmeto Listed under: Ecosystem suites (https://watchfor.tools/categories/suite), and also in this category Summary: Twelve products across the partner side and the merchant side. Price: Most tools free for approved partners Watch for: Most of it is free only if you register as a Marmeto partner, which is the actual product. Logistics and Payouts are white-label infrastructure you would resell. That is a different offer from the analytics tools. ## Related categories - Analytics & billing (2 tools in both): https://watchfor.tools/categories/biz - Ecosystem suites (1 tool in both): https://watchfor.tools/categories/suite - App Store ASO (also in the directory): https://watchfor.tools/categories/aso - App Store data (also in the directory): https://watchfor.tools/categories/data
