Overview
What is Yuko?
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:
You create a program — Set your commission rate, define your terms, and publish a signup page. This takes less than 10 minutes.
Affiliates apply — Anyone can apply through your public signup link. You review and approve them from the Yuko dashboard.
Affiliates promote — Each approved affiliate gets a unique referral link and/or discount code they share with their audience.
A customer buys — When someone clicks an affiliate's link and makes a purchase, Yuko automatically attributes the sale and calculates the commission.
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.
