We installed and tested the AfterShip Referral & Affiliate app as part of our evaluation. The app offers a wide range of features and is free, which makes it attractive at first glance. It is part of a broader ecosystem of AfterShip apps, which adds more capabilities beyond just referral programs. However, for our use case, we were specifically looking for a dedicated referral program solution. The app felt quite bulky due to the number of features and integrations, which made it less suitable for a focused and streamlined implementation. Because of this, we decided to move forward with a more specialized referral app that better fits our requirements. Overall, it is a powerful option for businesses looking for an all-in-one solution, but may feel overwhelming if you need a simple, dedicated referral setup.

Premium referral setup, free plan that actually works Set up our customer referral program in under 30 minutes. The settings give granular control over rewards, minimum order values, and expiry — exactly what we needed. Customization options for the popup and email are extensive, so we could match the widget perfectly to our brand. Free plan is genuinely free with real functionality, not just a trial. Amelia from support was responsive and helpful when we needed branding adjustments. Recommended for any Shopify store wanting to launch referral marketing without commission fees or upfront costs.

top program!

Untill now all looks very intuitive. We are working towards our launch and it probably will be a valuable asset for is once we're live!

I initially faced issues with changing the influence status but figured it later probably because I was on my cell. The tool is amazing and will help any small business owner that is working with influencers to easily track their sales. Thank you so much for creating such a great tool!

The worst customer support ever. Shame on Shiam - he doesn't know this apps features, doesn't understand questions, disappears from chat several times for a long time, after poorly answering my questions witch copy/paste random answers disappears and doesn't answer at all. I were not even able to normally start to use it because of such a horrible customer experience.

This is the easiest and best-working affiliate and referral app for all Shopify Stores. It works with the Shopify Starter Plan, which is very rare. You can't delete campaigns or affiliates, only disable them to non-active status, which I don't like. It's a small price to pay for this amazing service. Thank you!

Pretty basic but allows you to create multiple campaigns and is 100% free. Hopefully it will soon have analytics to track clicks and sources.
