Turn creators into a channel that pays on results

DTC growth runs on creators, but paying a flat fee per post disconnects spend from results. Afflio measures what each creator actually drives and rewards them for it — with codes and links both attributed, refunds reconciled before payout, and payouts handled for you.

In short

Afflio turns your creators and ambassadors into a performance channel that earns on the sales they drive, not a flat fee per post. It attributes promo codes and links, keeps commissions pending until returns settle, detects fraud, and pays partners via RazorpayX and PayPal. Free to start, flat pricing, and no cut of your payouts.

The problem & the fix

What gets in the way, and how Afflio clears it

Flat-fee sponsored posts spend budget whether or not they move product.

Afflio pays creators commissions on tracked sales, so spend follows performance instead of a fixed post fee.

Ambassadors live on discount codes that many tools track poorly.

Each creator gets a unique promo code with expiry and usage caps that attributes the sale even when no link is clicked.

Returns and exchanges make flat payouts risky on a refund-heavy category.

Order events are idempotent and commissions stay pending until you approve, so returns reconcile before you pay.

Scaling an ambassador roster by hand becomes a full-time job.

The creator marketplace lets partners discover and apply to your program, and one approvals queue handles the whole roster.
