Can You Use Shopify to Sell Affiliate Products?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 3:15 am

Yes, you can use Shopify to sell affiliate products. You can either use Shopify’s built-in affiliate program, or you can use a third-party affiliate program.

If you use Shopify’s built-in affiliate program, you will need to generate unique links for each product that you want to promote. These links will contain your affiliate ID, so that Shopify can track any sales that are generated through these links.

PRO TIP: If you are planning on using Shopify to sell affiliate products, be aware that there are a few things you need to do in order to be successful. First, you need to make sure that your website is optimised for search engines. This means that you need to choose the right keywords and phrases to target, and also ensure that your website’s design and layout are effective. Secondly, you need to drive traffic to your website. This can be done through various marketing channels such as pay-per-click advertising, social media marketing, and email marketing. Finally, you need to convert this traffic into sales. This can be done by offering high-quality products, providing excellent customer service, and offering competitive prices. If you follow these tips, you should be able to sell affiliate products successfully on Shopify.

If you use a third-party affiliate program, you will need to integrate it with Shopify. This can be done using a Shopify app, or by adding some code to your theme. Once your affiliate program is integrated with Shopify, you will be able to create promotional links and banners for your products, and these will contain your affiliate ID.

In both cases, if a customer clicks on one of your promotional links and then purchases the product, you will earn a commission on the sale. The amount of commission that you earn will depend on the terms of the affiliate program that you are using.
