What counts as a result

First orders, sign-ups, app installs, waitlist joins.

What it costs

Link tracking is free. Funded campaigns: ₹4,999 + GST a year and the reward you set + 15% per result, from a budget you lock.

What you see

Every open by channel and city, who is on the page now, and each first order the moment it is counted.

How it plays out

A skincare brand publishes an offer: ₹150 per first order. Forty creators take it. The brand watches opens by platform and city as reels go live, sees which creators' audiences reach checkout, and pays each order from a ₹30,000 budget the moment the store confirms it.

Who shares for a d2c brands brand

Each of them gets a link of their own, sees their own numbers, and is paid per counted first order.

Why d2c brands teams use it

Any page, any store

Shopify, WooCommerce, a custom store — the link works; orders come back through a webhook or the network.

Same numbers as the creator

Opens, people, pages, results: the creator sees exactly what you see. No 'my insights say otherwise'.

Reversals for returns

A returned order is reversed with a reason; reward and fee come back to the budget.

Budgets that pause themselves

Warned at 25% left, paused at zero, never a surprise bill.

The d2c brands guide

How referral works in d2c brands, how to set it up, what to pay, what to watch, and what to avoid.

Short version. One link per partner or placement, a reward per counted first order, a budget you lock, and a live view both sides read.

Why creators sell better than ads for a D2C brand

A D2C brand's first thousand customers rarely come from a search ad. They come from a reel where someone they follow uses the product, a WhatsApp group where a friend posts a link, a newsletter that recommends it. The trust is borrowed from the person, not built by the brand, and that is why it converts. The problem has always been paying for it fairly: a flat fee per post pays the same for a reel that sold nothing and a reel that sold out.

Paying per result changes the economics for both sides. The brand pays only for orders that happened; the creator who actually sells earns more than the one who only posts. The platform's job is to make that count honest and visible to both.

Publishing an offer that creators want to take

An offer on Shopmycode is a page, a reward and a budget. Put the product or collection page as the landing page, state the reward per first order (or per order, if you prefer), and lock a budget. Creators browsing offers see the reward and how much budget is left, and take it with one tap; each gets their own link and a ready-made message.

Write the reward the way a creator reads it: '₹150 per first order, paid the moment it is counted' is clearer than a percentage. If you sell on your own Shopify or custom store, the one-line snippet counts the order; if you sell on marketplaces too, those orders arrive through the marketplace's reporting.

Rewards, fees and what an order really costs

Your cost per order is the reward you set plus 15%. A ₹150 reward costs you ₹172.50 per counted order, from the budget you locked. Compare that with your blended cost per order from paid social, and set the reward so that a referred order is clearly worth it after product cost. Most brands find they can afford a reward that feels generous to a creator and still land under their ad cost per order.

The subscription is ₹4,999 + GST a year for funded campaigns; tracking without rewards is free. There is no percentage of your revenue, no minimum spend, and no charge for a creator who posts and sells nothing.

Reading the numbers like a growth team

Opens by channel tell you where your product travels: a collection that gets opened from WhatsApp more than from Instagram is being forwarded, which is the cheapest reach there is. Who is on the page now, and which page, tells you where people hesitate; a lot of time on the shipping-policy page is a signal about your shipping policy, not about the creator.

Per-creator results, visible to the creator too, let you double down without a negotiation. The creators who sell see their wallet grow; the ones who do not see why. Nobody needs a screenshot to prove anything.

Returns, cancellations and keeping it fair

A cancelled or returned order should not pay a reward. When your store or the marketplace reports the reversal, the result is reversed on the platform too, and the amount goes back to the budget. Creators can see this on their side, with the reason, which is why the platform stays trusted even when an order falls through.

Keep offers running rather than restarting them. A running offer accumulates a history that new creators read before taking it; an offer that starts and stops looks like a brand that changes its mind.

Questions

Do I need to change my checkout?

No. A one-line snippet on the thank-you page, or an order webhook from your store, is enough.

Can I run coupon-code campaigns?

Links are counted at the link, not by code; you can still give creators codes in your store if you like.
