    What merchants praise

    “Simply the best affiliate program for Shopify. Team keeps constantly adding features and helps you within 10 minutes if you have any questions. With the intuitive panel provided to influencers, I have gathered 180k+ leads through VWA.LA. Extremely good platform for larger/medium merchants, and beginners alike due to the pricing structure.”

    What merchants complain about

    “I make a test affiliate member to test the dashboard. I see that the affiliate member can choose to promote other stores at the section "Find a store" . At my admin affiliate panel i can not see this feature for my affiliate members. Second vwa ask about 5% from ALL your referral orders. Why? Third the affiliate member has just an affiliate url, not image/banner HTML code.”
