A fee that drops as the subscription climbs
On Growth, 2% of approved sales: $10,000 of affiliate sales in a month is $200 of fees on top of the $29.99. To lower the percentage, you move up a plan. At Meritt, no share of sales: the price is $0, $49 or $99 a month.
What UpPromote does better
- A native Shopify app, built for it end to end.
- The marketplace, to find affiliates and creators.
- Store credit as a reward.
For a Shopify store that wants to recruit affiliates from a marketplace, UpPromote remains the better choice of the two.
