## Description

Tracks installs and recurring revenue, runs commission rules and pays affiliates through PayPal. The migration is the pitch: it imports affiliates, referral codes, referral history and payout history out of Mantle, keeps every existing apps.shopify.com link working in the same mref format so no affiliate has to re-share anything, and runs alongside Mantle until that shuts down. Attribution is the Partner API for installs and revenue plus GA4 and BigQuery, which is how Mantle did it. Free at $0 a month to run your whole program with no caps, and the money is a 20% cut of what you pay affiliates that the Affilitrak marketplace introduced you to.

## 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.
