Shopmycode vs PartnerStack — which fits what you are doing?
PartnerStack is a partnership platform used mostly by B2B software companies to run structured affiliate, referral and reseller programmes with a dedicated partner team. 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.
PartnerStack
- 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
PartnerStack 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 PartnerStack 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the reward is credited to the marketer the moment the result is counted, from a budget locked in advance, and withdrawn by UPI or bank transfer in India.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
PartnerStack 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 PartnerStack 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 PartnerStack
PartnerStack suits a SaaS company with a partner team and contracts. Shopmycode suits a brand of any size that wants to fund a campaign this afternoon, pay per activation, and see the people behind the numbers rather than partner reports.
