Shopmycode vs ClickBank — which fits what you are doing?
ClickBank is a global marketplace for mainly digital products where the platform processes the sale and pays affiliates their share, with the vendor and affiliate both inside the marketplace. Shopmycode is a live referral platform for any link where brands fund results and marketers are paid as they happen. Here is how the two differ, point by point.
ClickBank
- Program configuration, contracts, integrations
- Conversions and partner reports
- Cycles set by the program
- Software fee and/or share of revenue
Shopmycode
- Publish an offer and fund a budget in minutes
- Live people: platform, city, page they are on, journey
- Credited to the marketer as results happen; withdraw by UPI or bank
- ₹4,999 + GST a year and 15% of each reward; tracking free
Point by point
Where each one works, what you see, when money moves, what it costs, and how they sit together.
Set-up
ClickBank is set up as a programme: configuration, agreements, integrations and usually a person to run it. On Shopmycode a brand registers, publishes an offer with a reward and locks a budget; a first campaign is live in minutes and creators take it themselves.
What you can see
Partnership platforms report conversions and partner performance in dashboards. Shopmycode shows people, live: opens by platform and city, who is on the page now and where, and each result as it is counted, with the same view shared with the marketer.
When money moves
On ClickBank payouts follow the programme's cycle and its approval steps. On Shopmycode the reward is credited to the marketer the moment the result is counted, from a budget locked in advance, and withdrawn by UPI or bank transfer in India.
Pricing model
Platforms of this kind usually charge a software fee, a share of tracked revenue, or both. Shopmycode charges ₹4,999 + GST a year for funded campaigns and 15% on top of each reward; tracking without rewards is free and marketers pay nothing.
Marketplaces and WhatsApp
ClickBank is built around a brand's own checkout or billing. Shopmycode also handles marketplace listings through their reporting, printed QR codes, and WhatsApp-first sharing with codes, ready-made messages and forwarding estimates.
India: payouts, tax, invoices
Payouts in INR by UPI or bank, tax handled the way Indian payouts require, and GST invoices for brands are standard on Shopmycode. On an international platform this depends on the plan and the region.
Using both
A company with a mature partner programme on ClickBank can still run creator and community campaigns on Shopmycode for the reach and the live view; the two rarely overlap.
Where Shopmycode differs most from ClickBank
ClickBank handles the sale itself for digital products. Shopmycode does not process the sale; the brand sells on its own page or a marketplace and the platform counts the result. That makes it a fit for physical products, apps and services, with India-first payouts and WhatsApp-first sharing.
