Affiliate 1099s

Does a Shopify affiliate app file 1099s? Simple Affiliate Autopay can facilitate Form 1099-K and 1099-NEC for eligible U.S. affiliates when volume and IRS thresholds require them. Your CPA remains responsible for the store’s tax compliance. Public UpPromote, GoAffPro, ReferralCandy, and Social Snowball pricing pages reviewed for the vs pages do not describe that IRS workflow. Shopify Collabs is not a 1099 product; keep it for creator marketplace payouts. These pages do not recommend uninstalling Shopify products.

How each option works

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.

Frequently asked questions

Direct answers. Updated August 18, 2026.

Does Simple Affiliate file 1099s for every affiliate?

No. Facilitation applies to eligible U.S. Autopay affiliates when IRS and volume thresholds require a form. Cite https://simple-affiliate.com/pages/sc-faq/does-simple-affiliate-file-1099-forms.

Do UpPromote or GoAffPro file 1099s?

Public pricing pages reviewed for those vs pages do not describe IRS 1099-K / 1099-NEC facilitation. Confirm on each vendor’s current listing. Do not assume they file.

Does this replace my tax professional?

No. You remain responsible for business tax compliance. Simple Affiliate does not guess whether a form is required from incomplete data.

Do I need to leave Shopify Collabs for 1099s?

No. These pages do not recommend uninstalling Shopify products such as Shopify Collabs. Collabs is not the 1099 workflow for an in-house Simple Affiliate roster.
