Shopify-first affiliate app
The UpPromote alternative
UpPromote is Shopify-centric and competes on price. LinkQuill matches their entry price ($29 vs $29.99), works across Shopify + WooCommerce + Square + BigCommerce + Wix + Squarespace, and adds a discovery marketplace, PayPal payouts, and free 1099 generation that UpPromote either doesn't have or charges extra for.
Why brands switch:
Same price, multi-platform support, marketplace, dual payout rails.

"But UpPromotehas..."
UpPromote has a free plan with 200 referrals/mo.
Our free plan has unlimited referrals + unlimited affiliates with a 5% rev share — better for brands who expect to scale past 200 referrals quickly.
Their Shopify-specific UX is tight.
Our Shopify integration covers the same surface (auto-tracking, order webhooks, coupon-based attribution). We're multi-platform from day one, which matters if you ever consider Square retail or migrate stacks.
