A Spearhead Brands add-on · Built on Shopify

Affiliate & influencer commissions,
settled automatically.

From influencer and affiliate code issuance to automatic order attribution, commission calculation, and monthly settlement. One commission engine where every figure leaves an audit trail.

ORDER LIFECYCLE

How one order becomes a commission

pending Order placed
pre-fulfillment
payable Delivered
eligible for payout
settled 1st of the month
settlement confirmed

Only delivered orders become eligible for payout. Refunds and cancellations are auto-reconciled (clawback) in the next settlement, and every state transition is captured in the audit log.

The limits of spreadsheet-based affiliate settlement

Manual tracking

Logging codes by hand and collecting conversions from screenshots doesn't scale as your creator roster grows.

Month-end reconciliation

Reconciling commissions in one pass at month-end makes it easy to miss refunds and cancellations, so the numbers never quite line up.

Attribution disputes

Handling attribution disputes with no record erodes trust.

What you need isn't another spreadsheet — it's a single source of truth where everyone sees the same numbers.

Issue → Track → Accrue → Settle

Four stages connect automatically — no manual reconciliation required.

1

Issue

ISSUE

Generate a unique code per creator and set its commission rules and optional discount. Discounts are managed in Shopify.

2

Track

TRACK

Incoming orders are automatically attributed to the right code. No manual matching required.

3

Accrue

ACCRUE

Commissions accrue by your rules, and operators and creators see the same numbers in real time.

4

Settle

SETTLE · 1st of the month

Preview totals, deductions, carryovers, and net payouts in a dry run, then confirm. Every period is retained as a reconciliation record and exported to CSV.

Commissions accrue in real time, and settlement is confirmed after a dry-run review on the 1st of each month. Operators and creators always see the same numbers.

The actual product

Real dashboards, not mockups. The data is neutral sample data (a fictional store, "Northwind & Co.", in USD).

CREATOR
app.spearheadbrands.com / dashboard
Creator commission dashboard
Commission dashboard (creator) — Shows the code, accrued/pending/paid amounts, and order-level detail. Instead of a single lump payout, creators see the base amount, rate, and commission line by line.
ADMIN
app.spearheadbrands.com / admin
Admin affiliate program overview
Affiliate program (admin) — Shows payable, pending, and lifetime-paid totals alongside every affiliate. Manage code status and activity at the store level.

Key features

From code issuance to portfolio-wide settlement, everything you need to run an affiliate program in one tool.

01

Code issuance

Assign a per-creator unique code its own commission rate and optional discount. Shopify owns the discount; Referral Pro tracks only the commission.

02

Automatic attribution

Incoming orders are matched to the right code automatically. No manual reconciliation required.

03

Commission state management

A pending → payable → settled lifecycle. Pays out only on delivered orders; refunds are reconciled in the next settlement.

04

Monthly settlement · CSV

Confirm on the 1st of each month after a dry-run preview. Every period is retained as a reconciliation record and exported to CSV.

05

PII masking

Customer names and emails are masked for every role. Only the order amount is visible for verification.

06

Complete audit log

Every code creation and deactivation is recorded in full. Silent changes are impossible.

07

Multi-store

Affiliates can belong to multiple stores, while operators and managers have store-scoped permissions. The platform console oversees it all.

Permissions by role

Permissions are scoped to each store, and every role sees only what it needs.

RoleWhat they see
InfluencerTheir own codes, sales, accrued commissions, settlement history, and order-level detail.
Store managerThat store's affiliate program. Read-only across affiliates and settlements.
AdminFull control of the store. Create affiliates, manage codes, run settlement dry runs, and control access.
Platform (Superadmin)Oversight of every store across the portfolio.

Trust by design

Runs on top of Shopify
01

Creator transparency

Instead of a single lump payout, creators see the base amount, rate, and commission for each order.

02

Customer data masking

No role ever accesses raw customer PII.

03

No silent edits

Rate changes are handled by deactivating the code and issuing a new one — history is never altered.

04

Handoff-ready settlement

Export every settlement period to CSV for handoff to accounting.

// Shopify creates and owns the discounts; Referral Pro only tracks, attributes, and settles on top — it never touches the storefront.

MANAGED SERVICE

Program setup and monthly settlement,
operated by us.

Spearhead sets up the program, issues creator codes, and runs settlement every month. All you do is review the reconciled payouts.

Integrates with Spearhead's existing services — storefront, email, content, and more.
