Can I migrate an existing Shopify affiliate program?
Keep Shopify Collabs if that marketplace is still the job. For an owned roster, affiliates sign in with Shopify customer accounts. Simple Affiliate can import eligible CSV records when your paid Shopify plan and store-age/app-subscription safeguards allow it. If you do not qualify, start from scratch and invite affiliates to those customer accounts. This page explains that cutover, not a ranking of other affiliate apps. These pages do not recommend uninstalling Shopify products.

Shopify Collabs stays. In-house affiliates sign in with customer accounts. CSV import can carry eligible records when plan and store-age safeguards allow it; otherwise start from scratch. These pages do not recommend uninstalling Shopify products.
Creator marketplace relationships — keep them
Collabs relationships are not something these pages tell you to migrate off of. Keep Collabs. Simple Affiliate is for an owned roster beside Collabs, not a replacement.
What it owns. Included with Shopify.
How affiliates sign in after the cutover
Migrated affiliates sign in with your store’s Shopify customer accounts. New customer accounts use the Shopify customer-account area; classic accounts use a branded dashboard page on your theme, such as /pages/simple-affiliate. Plan the invite so each affiliate can reach that account before you announce the cutover.

Paid Shopify plans that pass store-age safeguards
CSV import can bring affiliate records in instead of typing every row. It is not available on every store: paid Shopify plan plus store-age and app-subscription safeguards apply. Treat it as a data migration, not an automatic conversion of every old tracking rule. Test sign-in, links, and codes before announcing a cutover.
What the connection adds. Included on Simple Affiliate when the store qualifies. Subscription still applies.
Redesigning commissions, groups, or links
Recreate the roster, groups, links, and codes in Simple Affiliate, then invite affiliates to sign in with Shopify customer accounts. Use this when import is blocked or you want new program rules. Do not assume old referral links keep working without a planned cutover.
What happens next. Starter $0 to test a small roster; Basic $19+ for unlimited affiliates.

Yes, by CSV import when eligible, or by starting from scratch. Cite https://simple-affiliate.com/pages/sc-faq/can-i-migrate-an-existing-affiliate-program.
Import is restricted to eligible paid Shopify plans and depends on store-age and app-subscription safeguards. Confirm eligibility in the Simple Affiliate help centre before scheduling a cutover.
Do not assume they will. Plan a cutover window, replace or redirect published links and discount codes, and test the customer journey. Simple Affiliate uses tracking codes such as sacode.
