Affiliates sign in on your store with your Shopify customer accounts, not on a separate affiliate portal.

You run more than one program: Scale includes unlimited affiliate programs, and the App Store listing describes automatic recruitment of customers as affiliates.
MLM, item- and category-based commissions, and automated payouts through Trolley are on Scale at $179/month.
Enterprise adds full white label and a dedicated personal manager.
The pricing page lists no percentage of sales, and each plan has a free trial: 7 days on Launch, 14 on Scale, and 30 on Enterprise.

Who each one is for

Tapfiliate is affiliate tracking software for ecommerce, SaaS, and subscription businesses. Its pricing page lists 30+ integrations, including Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento, and Stripe, plus a REST API and a JavaScript pixel, and it has a Shopify App Store listing. Each plan sets monthly limits for clicks and conversions, with an overage price for each 1,000 above them.

Tapfiliate fits a business that tracks affiliate sales across several platforms or a SaaS product, or that runs more than one program. If you sell on Shopify and want the program on your own store at a flat monthly price with no click or conversion limits, that is what Simple Affiliate does.

Tapfiliate prices by clicks and conversions, not by sales, so the model depends on your traffic. At a $50 average order, $10,000 is 200 conversions, which fits Launch’s 500; the click count depends on your conversion rate. Our modeled Pro total assumes Autopay on a 10% commission.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about Simple Affiliate vs Tapfiliate. Updated October 24, 2026.

What does Simple Affiliate cost next to Tapfiliate?

Four flat plans: Starter $0, Basic $19, Pro $39, and Premium $59, with a 14-day trial on Basic and Pro and a 7-day trial on Premium. No percentage of referred sales and no click or conversion limits. Turn on Autopay and the processing fee (3.9% bank / 8.9% card on Pro) is charged to you on commission payouts; affiliates get their commission in full. From November 1, 2026, Autopay adds a low volume fee of 2 USD to each affiliate payout under 25 USD, in the store currency (for example 2 EUR for each payout under 20 EUR). A payout threshold at or above that limit avoids it on monthly payouts. Tapfiliate’s plans and usage limits are described on this page from tapfiliate.com/pricing and its App Store listing as of October 24, 2026; prices change, so treat the numbers here as a snapshot.

Where do my affiliates sign in?

On your store, with your store’s customer accounts. New customer accounts put the dashboard on your domain; classic accounts use a branded theme page such as /pages/affiliate. Tapfiliate gives affiliates a branded Tapfiliate portal, with custom domains and full white label on Enterprise. More on why we built it in-house: /pages/sc-faq/why-use-simple-affiliate-instead-of-a-network.

Where does Shopify Collabs fit here?

Shopify Collabs is Shopify’s included creator marketplace, so there is no Simple Affiliate vs Shopify Collabs page: we name it in prose and link apps.shopify.com/collabs and shopify.com/collabs instead. These pages do not recommend uninstalling Shopify products such as Shopify Collabs.

What happens above Tapfiliate’s click and conversion limits?

tapfiliate.com/pricing lists an overage price: on Launch, $1.50 for each 1,000 clicks above 5,000 and $15 for each 1,000 conversions above 500; on Scale, $1 and $10 above 100,000 clicks and 10,000 conversions. Enterprise has tailored limits. Simple Affiliate plans have no click or conversion limits.

Does Simple Affiliate work outside Shopify?

No. Simple Affiliate is an app for Shopify stores only. If you track sales on WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento, or Stripe, Tapfiliate’s integrations and API cover those platforms.
