What merchants praise

“We’ve yet to start using the AfterShip for Affiliate Program, but the installation of the plugin and outlook is promising - and that is a positive. For a free app, this can’t be beat. Shall update this review again in due course. Thank you. [Updated] This app has been in our Shopify Store for a couple of months now. It’s pretty useful, but would also prefer if the referral code can be customized for a select collection (say regular priced items) than outright for the entire inventory (discounted, non-discounted, sale items). Thanks!”

What merchants complain about

“really fast, friendly and helpful support !!! I´m sure the tool can help to increase sales, and loyalty of my customers Update: the tool looks very nice but there is no fraud protection. so the app is totally useless in my opinion, because every customer can create a coupon and use it by himself. that does not make sense”
