How much does Simple Affiliate cost?

Plans run from $0 to $69 per month, billed by Shopify in USD every 30 days as a flat subscription. The plan sets your program's scale and which tracking, commission, customer-connection, and payout features you get. Autopay processing fees are separate from the subscription and are paid by you, the merchant, never by the affiliate.

Plan pricing

• Starter: $0/month. Up to 10 affiliates, one group, and one standard link per affiliate, with Autopay and live chat support included.
• Basic: $19/month. Unlimited affiliates, groups, and links, plus Klaviyo.
• Pro: $39/month. Adds custom referral links, discount codes, product-specific commission rules, and permanent customer connection.
• Premium: $69/month. Adds product attribution, group automation, lower Autopay fees, and manual payouts.

Autopay fees by plan

You pay these in addition to the commission; the affiliate always receives the full amount.

PayPal and store credit payouts have no Simple Affiliate processing fee on every plan. Premium also supports manual payouts with no Simple Affiliate processing fee. Worked fee examples are at https://help.simple-affiliate.com/en/articles/6326866-auto-pay-overview-processing-fees.

Trials, billing, and the fine print

Basic, Pro, and Premium include a 14-day free trial. Starter has no trial; at $0/month there's nothing to trial. There are no separate support fees: live chat is included. Development stores follow Shopify's billing rules for test charges.

Keep one distinction straight: the subscription buys features and scale. Commission amounts, payout timing, and attribution come from how you configure commissions and tracking, not from which plan you're on.

Which plan to pick

Starter fits a small program that lives within its limits: up to 10 affiliates, one group, one standard link each. Move to Basic when you outgrow those limits or want Klaviyo. Pick Pro for custom referral links, discount codes, product-specific commissions, or permanent customer connection. Premium is the one with product attribution, group automation, lower Autopay fees, and manual payouts.
