The opportunity
Affiliate platform revenue can include orders that would have happened without the partner, coupon-site interception, returning customers, refunded orders, and attribution that overlaps with paid or CRM channels. Ranking partners by attributed revenue alone can reward the wrong behavior.
BizSidekick reconciles partner activity with Shopify outcomes, keeps attributed and incremental-value signals separate, and turns the program into a reviewable weekly operating queue.
How it works
- Set the program scope — Confirm complete periods, partner types, attribution, code rules, commissions, currencies, refund treatment, and customer definitions.
- Read partner activity — Pull clicks, codes, attributed orders, sales, commissions, content, statuses, pending applications, and payout states.
- Read Shopify outcomes — Match eligible orders, discounts, refunds, net sales, new customers, repeat purchase, and product mix.
- Normalize partner value — Separate attribution from evidence of customer discovery, margin quality, refund risk, coupon interception, and repeat value.
- Rank operating priorities — Identify scalable partners, high-risk volume, dormant partners, pending decisions, and missing evidence.
- Build the weekly action plan — Return outreach, creative, offer, compliance, approval, and pause recommendations with owners and review dates.
Safety boundary
Attributed sales are not presented as incremental sales. The analysis does not approve a partner, change commission, issue payment, publish content, or disable an affiliate account.
