Referral tracking that survives the install

Every partner gets a referral code and a referral link. The code works however the merchant installed, because the merchant types it into your app. Where a platform allows it, Appsify captures the code automatically.

First touch wins. The first partner to reach a merchant keeps the credit.

MethodWhen it applies
Referral codeTyped into your app by the merchant. Every platform.
Referral linkThe partner shares a link. The click is recorded.
Install parameterWix passes the code with the install.
Checkout linkThe merchant pays through a PayPro checkout link carrying the code.
IP matchThe install comes from the same IP within 30 days of a link click.

02 · Commission engine and ledger

Commission tracking in an append-only ledger

Set the rule once per app. Appsify turns each billing event into ledger entries: commissions, holds, releases and clawbacks. Entries are never edited, so every balance can be traced line by line.

  • First payment, recurring for a set number of months, or lifetime
  • 30-day hold before a commission is payable
  • Refunds and chargebacks clawed back automatically
  • Replayed billing events are never paid twice

03 · Payouts

PayPal payouts: requested by affiliates, approved by you

Affiliate payouts start with the affiliate. Once more than $50 is available, they request a payout from their portal. You review it and approve, and the money goes out through PayPal.

05 · Integration

A small REST API with a per-app key

Send Appsify the code a merchant entered and the billing events for that merchant. Each app has its own key, so programs stay separate.

How to get started with Appsify
# 1. the merchant entered a code
curl https://go.appsify.com/api/v1/storeConnect \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APP_KEY" \
  -d platform=shopify \
  -d external_customer_id=shop_8812 \
  -d referral_code=NORTHWIND

# 2. the merchant paid
curl https://go.appsify.com/api/v1/addAppPurchase \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APP_KEY" \
  -d platform=shopify \
  -d external_customer_id=shop_8812 \
  -d provider_event_id=evt_7Hq2 -d amount=29.00
