Facts reuse Simple Affiliate FAQs, vs pages, and Shopify Collabs as a first-party tool. Confirm current rates on App Store listings before buying.
1
Simple Affiliate Autopay 1099s
Eligible U.S. Autopay affiliates when IRS thresholds apply
When Autopay pays eligible U.S. affiliates, Simple Affiliate can facilitate 1099-K and 1099-NEC. Affiliates access issued forms from the dashboard. Forms are not issued for every affiliate automatically — thresholds decide.
Pricing. Included with Autopay. No separate 1099 add-on fee. Autopay processing fees still apply to payouts.
2
Your CPA
Always the compliance owner
App-facilitated forms do not replace merchant tax obligations, state filings, or affiliates’ own returns. Use a qualified tax professional for questions about whether a form is required.
Pricing. Professional fees, not an App Store subscription.
3
Apps that do not advertise 1099 filing
You will file yourself
Public listings and pricing pages reviewed for UpPromote, GoAffPro, ReferralCandy, and Social Snowball do not describe IRS 1099-K / 1099-NEC facilitation. Confirm on each vendor’s current docs. If they do not file, you (or your CPA) own the paperwork.
Pricing. Those apps’ subscriptions plus your own filing cost.
4
Shopify Collabs
Creator marketplace — not a 1099 product
Collabs is Shopify’s included creator marketplace. This page does not claim Collabs files 1099s for your in-house affiliates. Keep Collabs for that marketplace. Do not pick it as a 1099 tool for an owned roster.
Pricing. Included with Shopify.
