Yuko is an affiliate marketing platform built for Shopify stores. It lets you create and run a fully branded affiliate program, where partners, influencers, and customers promote your products in exchange for a commission on every sale they drive. Instead of paying upfront for ads with uncertain returns, affiliate marketing is purely pay-for-performance. You only pay when a sale happens. ### How Yuko Works Yuko connects three things: your Shopify store, your affiliates, and your customers. Here's the full picture: 1. **You create a program** — Set your commission rate, define your terms, and publish a signup page. This takes less than 10 minutes. 2. **Affiliates apply** — Anyone can apply through your public signup link. You review and approve them from the Yuko dashboard. 3. **Affiliates promote** — Each approved affiliate gets a unique referral link and/or discount code they share with their audience. 4. **A customer buys** — When someone clicks an affiliate's link and makes a purchase, Yuko automatically attributes the sale and calculates the commission. 5. **Commission is recorded** — The affiliate's earnings appear in their portal. You review and approve payouts on your schedule. *** #### Key Concepts **Affiliate** A person or business that promotes your store in exchange for a commission. Affiliates can be influencers, bloggers, loyal customers, or brand ambassadors. **Program** Your affiliate program is the container that holds all your settings, like commission rates, payout rules, signup form, and terms. You can run one program or multiple programs targeting different affiliate types. **Commission** The amount or percentage an affiliate earns when they successfully refer a paying customer. Yuko supports flat-rate, percentage-based, tiered, and recurring commission structures. **Referral Link** A unique URL is assigned to each affiliate. When a customer clicks this link and places an order, Yuko attributes the sale to that affiliate automatically. **Discount Code** An optional coupon code tied to an affiliate. Customers get a discount at checkout, and the sale is attributed to the affiliate who shared the code. **Affiliate Portal** A dedicated dashboard where your affiliates can log in to see their referral links, track their clicks and conversions, and view their commission earnings. **Payout** The payment you send to an affiliate for their earned commissions. You control when payouts are processed and what the minimum threshold is. *** ### What You Can Build with Yuko * A public affiliate program open to anyone who applies * A private program with invite-only access for select partners * A tiered program where top performers earn higher commissions * A recurring commission program for subscription-based products *** ### Platform Requirements * Yuko works exclusively with **Shopify** stores (Basic plan and above) * No developer setup required, installs in one click from the Shopify App Store * Works with all Shopify themes {% hint style="success" %} #### Need help? Contact support - [CONTACT](mailto:contact@afflr.on.crisp.email) Schedule a free onboarding call - [BOOK A CALL](https://cal.com/yukoteam/yuko) Join the Yuko community - [VISIT](https://yuko.so/partners/agency/) {% endhint %} # Quickstart This guide walks you through everything from installing Yuko to your first approved affiliate sharing their link. Please follow the steps in order. {% hint style="info" %} #### **Before we start** Make sure you have: * An active Shopify store (any paid plan) * Admin access to your Shopify account to install the app. {% endhint %} ### Step 1 — Install Yuko on Shopify * Go to the [Shopify App Store](https://apps.shopify.com) and search for [**Yuko Affiliate Marketing**](https://apps.shopify.com/affiliate-marketing-afflr). * Click **Install.** * You'll be redirected to your Shopify admin. Click **Install app** to authorize Yuko. * You'll land on the Yuko dashboard inside your Shopify admin. > **Note:** Yuko requests access to orders, customers, and discount codes. This is required for tracking referrals and generating affiliate discount codes. *** ### Step 2 — Enabling the theme app extension This ensures Afflr works correctly on your store theme. 1. **Enable Extension (Dashboard Method)** From the Afflr dashboard, enable the extension, copy the Afflr key, open the theme editor, paste the key, and save the theme to activate Afflr. 2. **Enable Extension (Alternate Method)** When switching themes, enable Afflr again via **Online Store → Themes → Customize → App Embeds**. Turn on Afflr-Extension, paste the Afflr key, and save the theme. We can now move forward with configuring your affiliate program. *** ### Step 3 — Create Your Affiliate Program * From the Yuko dashboard, Programs -> click **Add Program**. * Give your program a name (e.g., *Yuko Partner Program* or your brand name). * Choose a **commission type**: * **Percentage** — Affiliates earn a % of each order (e.g., 10%) * **Flat rate** — Affiliates earn a fixed amount per order (e.g., $5) * Enter your commission rate. * **Enable '**Referral Tracking Method' * **Referral Code** — Affiliate gets a unique discount code that customers apply at checkout * **Unique Safe Link** — Affiliate gets a trackable URL that attributes sales automatically * **Customer Discount:** Set the discount your customers receive when using an affiliate's code, percentage, or fixed amount. * Click **Save & Continue**. > **Tip:** If you're unsure what commission rate to set, 10–20% is a common starting range for e-commerce stores. You can always adjust this later. *** ### Step 3 — Customize Your Signup Page Your signup page is where potential affiliates apply to join your program. Yuko auto-generates one for you. 1. Go to **Widgets → Sign-up form.** 2. Add your logo and a short description of your program. 3. Optionally add program highlights (e.g., *"Earn 15% on every sale, get paid monthly"*). 4. Click **Save**. Your signup page is now live at: `yourstorename.myshopify.com/pages/affiliates` *** ### Step 4 — Configure Affiliate Approvals Affiliate approvals in Yuko are **manual;** every application is reviewed by you and approved or rejected from the dashboard. This gives you full control over who represents your brand. * Go to **Programs → click 'View'**. * Under the Affiliates section, review the pending application. * Click **Approve or Reject**. > **Auto-enroll customers:** If you want existing customers to automatically join your affiliate program after making a purchase, enable **Automatically enroll customers in the referral program upon purchase** under **Settings**. Enrolled customers are added to the program you select there. *** ### Step 5 — Invite Your First Affiliate You're ready to bring in your first affiliate. You have two options: **Option A — Share your signup link.** You can copy your sign-up page URL and share it with anyone you want to invite; send it via email or DM, or post it on your social channels. **Option B — Add an affiliate manually** 1. Go to **Program → click 'View' -> Add affiliate** 2. Enter their name, email address, edit the referral code, and select the program you want them in. 3. They will receive the email with their unique link and their affiliate code. *** ### Step 6 — Verify Tracking is Working Before you announce your program widely, do a quick test: 1. Go to **Affiliates** and open any approved affiliate's profile. 2. Copy their referral link. 3. Open it in a private/incognito browser window. 4. Complete a test purchase on your store. 5. Return to Yuko and go to **Programs -> click 'View' -> Sales**. 6. You should see the test order attributed to that affiliate. If the order appears, you're live. > **If the order doesn't appear:** Make sure the order is in the paid order status, or [**contact support**](mailto:contact@afflr.on.crisp.email) *** ### You're Live Your affiliate program is now running. Here's what to do next: * **Set up payouts** — Configure when and how you pay affiliates under **Payouts → Payment methods** * **Customize the affiliate portal** — Make it on-brand under **Widget → Affiliate portal (Customer Account)** * **Set up email notifications** — Let affiliates know when they earn a commission under **Settings → Email** * **Promote your program** — Share your signup link widely to grow your affiliate base # Programs Learn how to start affiliate marketing program Yuko lets you create and manage one or more affiliate programs tailored to your business goals. You can define commission structures, set customer discounts, configure referral tracking, and control affiliate approvals, all from a single program setup. *** ### Creating a Program * Go to **Programs** in your Yuko dashboard * Click **Add Program** * Fill in the program details as described below *** ### Program Details #### Title & Description **Title** Give your program a clear, recognizable name that affiliates will see on the signup form. > Example: *Give 10%, Get 10%* **Description** *(optional)* Briefly explain what affiliates will earn and what customers get. > Example: *Offer your affiliates a 10% commission for the sales they bring and a 10% discount for their referrals.* *** ### Affiliate Commission Type Choose how affiliates earn from each sale they refer. #### Simple Commission A straightforward fixed or percentage-based reward applied to every qualifying order. * **Percentage** — Affiliate earns a % of the order total (e.g., 10%) * **Fixed Amount** — Affiliate earns a set amount per order (e.g., $5) **Enable Recurring Commission** *(optional)* Check this to allow affiliates to earn on repeat purchases made by the same customer — not just the first order. Ideal for subscription-based stores. *** #### Tiered Commission Reward affiliates with higher commission rates as their performance grows. Tiers are unlocked based on one of the following: | Tier Metric | Description | | ------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------- | | **Total referral sales** | Total revenue generated by the affiliate | | **Number of successful sales** | Count of completed orders referred | | **Total referrals** | Number of customers referred | Click **Add Tier** to define each level and its corresponding commission rate. *** #### Commission Rules *(Advanced)* Commission Rules let you go beyond a single flat rate, rewarding your best affiliates more, or boosting commissions on the products that matter most to your business. Rules stack on top of your base commission and are applied automatically to qualifying sales. Click **+ Add Rule** and select the rule type: **Specific Affiliates:** Give select affiliates a higher commission on top of the base rate, perfect for rewarding VIP partners, top performers, or influencers you want to incentivize more. Select the affiliates the rule applies to, set the commission type and rate, and optionally define a start and end date. **Specific Products / Collections:** Drive sales of particular products by offering a boosted commission only when those items are purchased. Choose the products or collections, set the commission type and rate, and optionally define a start and end date, ideal for new launches, overstocked items, or high-margin products. Once saved, rules run automatically, no manual tracking or adjustments needed. *** ### Referral Tracking Method Choose how Yuko links a sale back to the affiliate who drove it. | Method | How it works | | -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Referral Code** | Each affiliate receives a unique discount code. Customers apply it at checkout. | | **Unique Safe Link** | Each affiliate receives a unique URL. Clicks are tracked and sales attributed automatically. | > **Tip:** Referral codes are recommended for most stores. They work across browsers and devices, and give customers a visible discount incentive to complete their purchase. ### Customer Discount Configure the discount customers receive when they use an affiliate's referral code at checkout. **Discount Type** * **Percentage** — e.g., 10% off the order total * **Fixed Amount** — e.g., $10 off * **Shipping discount** **Settings** | Option | Description | | --------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Limit to one use per customer** | Prevents the same customer from using the code multiple times | | **Applies to** | All products, or specific collections/products | | **Customer eligibility** | All customers, or specific segments | | **Minimum purchase requirement** | Require a minimum order value before the discount applies | | **Limit total usage** | Cap the total number of times the code can be used | | **Combinations** | Allow the code to combine with product, order, or shipping discounts | | **Expiry days** | Set an expiration date on the discount code | *** ### Additional Settings #### Automatic Approval *(optional)* Enable this to automatically approve any affiliate who submits the signup form, no manual review required. {% hint style="warning" %} When automatic approval is enabled, anyone who registers will instantly receive their unique referral link or code. Use this only if you do not need to vet your affiliates before they start promoting. {% endhint %} #### Limit Payout Options *(optional)* Restrict which payout methods are available for affiliates in this specific program. Select the allowed payment methods from the dropdown. This is useful when running different programs with different payout structures, for example, a cash program via coupon and a store credit program for brand ambassadors. *** ### Affiliate Signup Form Every program comes with a ready-to-use affiliate signup form.

Go to **Settings → General** to configure these preferences. *** ### Commission Settings Configure how commissions are approved and how commission amounts are calculated for each sale. #### Commission Approval Settings Choose when a commission is approved after a sale is made: | Option | Description | | -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Automatic — Immediate** | Commission is approved instantly as soon as the sale is recorded | | **Automatic — Delayed (X days)** | Commission is held for a set number of days before being approved, useful to account for returns or refund windows | | **Manual** | You review and approve each commission individually from the Commissions tab | > **Tip:** Using a delayed approval period that matches your refund policy (e.g., 14 or 30 days) ensures you don't pay commission on orders that later get returned. #### Commission Calculation Settings Choose what is included in the order value when calculating a commission: | Option | Description | | ------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Without Taxes & Shipping** | Commission is calculated on the product subtotal only — taxes and shipping costs are excluded | | **Including Taxes** | Taxes are included in the order value used for commission calculation | | **Including Shipping** | Shipping costs are included in the order value | | **Including Taxes & Shipping** | Both taxes and shipping are included in the calculation | *** ### Referral Marketing Automation Automatically turn customers into affiliates after they make a purchase, without requiring them to fill out a signup form. #### Automatically Enroll Customers in the Referral Program Upon Purchase When this toggle is enabled, every customer who completes a purchase is automatically enrolled in your selected affiliate program. They receive their unique referral link via email immediately after their order is confirmed. **To enable:** 1. Toggle **Automatically enroll customers in the referral program upon purchase** to on 2. Select the program that new customers will be enrolled in 3. Click **Save** > **Note:** Customers enrolled this way are added directly as approved affiliates, no application review required. *** ### Fraud Prevention Protect your program from self-referrals and commission abuse with built-in fraud prevention rules. #### Block Self-Referral Using Email Prevents a commission from being granted if the customer placing the order uses the same email address as the affiliate who referred them. Enable this to stop affiliates from earning commissions on their own purchases. #### Block Self-Referral Using IP Prevents a commission from being granted if the customer and the affiliate share the same IP address at the time of the purchase. Enable this for an additional layer of self-referral protection, particularly useful when email alone may not be sufficient. > **Tip:** It is recommended to enable both email and IP self-referral blocking for maximum fraud protection. However, turn off this while testing. *** ### Advanced Settings #### Enable Affiliate Sale Tag When enabled, Yuko automatically tags affiliate-driven orders in Shopify with the label **Affiliate Sale - Afflr**. This makes it easy to filter and identify affiliate orders directly from your Shopify Orders dashboard without opening Yuko. #### Affiliate Code Customization Choose how referral codes are automatically generated when a new affiliate joins your program: | Option | Description | | -------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **First Name** | Referral code is based on the affiliate's first name with a random alphanumeric suffix | | **Last Name** | Referral code is based on the affiliate's last name with a random alphanumeric suffix | | **First Name + Last Name** | Referral code combines both names with a random alphanumeric suffix | | **Random Identifier** | A fully random alphanumeric code is generated; no name is used | > **Note:** Regardless of the format chosen, each generated code is unique. You can always override the auto-generated code by editing the affiliate manually. *** Click **Save** at the bottom of the page to apply any changes made in General Settings. {% hint style="success" icon="circle-question" %} #### Need help?
