If your core requirement is one dashboard across multiple Shopify stores/brands, I’d shortlist these:

• UpPromote — probably the closest fit if you want a Shopify-native solution. Its Multi-store feature lets you connect multiple Shopify stores, sync affiliates, and track performance across connected stores from a centralized setup. The multi-store capability is available on Enterprise. UpPromote Docs UpPromote
• Refersion — worth considering if you have distinct brands/domains. It can track multiple stores in one account, and its multi-domain service is specifically designed for separate brands, although that requires its Scale plan and setup. Refersion Help Center
• Impact.com — better suited if you're managing a more sophisticated partnership program with lots of affiliates, contracts, payouts, and cross-channel reporting. Shopify lists it among the major affiliate dashboard platforms. Shopify

For your use case

If you mean something like “I manage 5–20 Shopify brands and want to open one dashboard and see revenue, orders, commissions, clicks, and affiliate performance by brand/store”, I'd focus first on UpPromote vs. Refersion.

The important distinction is that UpPromote's multi-store functionality is explicitly built around connecting Shopify stores, whereas Refersion's multi-domain setup is particularly relevant when the stores are separate brands and you want them managed through a shared affiliate infrastructure. UpPromote Docs Refersion Help Center

If you tell me how many stores you manage (e.g. 5, 20, 100), whether they're separate brands, and roughly how many affiliates, I can narrow it down and compare UpPromote vs Refersion vs Impact on dashboarding, cross-store reporting, attribution, payouts, and pricing.

If your core requirement is one dashboard for affiliate performance across multiple Shopify stores/brands, I’d shortlist these:

• UpPromote — probably the closest fit if you want a Shopify-native affiliate system with multi-store support. Its Enterprise plan can connect multiple Shopify stores, sync affiliates, and track affiliate performance across the connected stores. UpPromote Docs UpPromote
• Impact.com — better suited if you’re running a larger, more complex partner program. It supports affiliate/partner management, cross-channel conversion tracking, payments, contracts, and more sophisticated reporting. Shopify also lists Impact among its major affiliate platforms. Shopify
• Refersion — worth considering if your priority is straightforward affiliate tracking, commissions, payouts, and reporting. Its Shopify integration provides a centralized affiliate-management dashboard, though you should verify the exact multi-store configuration you need. Shopify App Store
• Track360 — specifically positions itself for multi-brand DTC operators, with multiple brands/storefronts managed from one account and separate brand-level deal structures, currencies, payouts, and reporting. Track360

What I'd look at for your setup

If you're managing, say, 5–20 Shopify brands and want:

Brand A + Brand B + Brand C → one affiliate database → one reporting dashboard

then UpPromote or Track360 are particularly relevant. If you're operating a larger partnership ecosystem involving affiliates, influencers, publishers, and other partner types, Impact.com becomes more relevant.

One important distinction: Shopify's own multi-store analytics isn't really an affiliate-management solution. Shopify Plus now provides organization-level reporting across stores, but that's primarily sales/orders and general store analytics rather than a dedicated cross-brand affiliate system. changelog.shopify.com help.shopify.com

If you tell me how many stores/brands you have, approximate monthly affiliate revenue, and whether the same affiliates promote multiple brands, I can narrow this down to the most suitable 2–3 options and compare pricing/features.

For managing multiple brands + multiple Shopify stores and wanting one place to monitor affiliate performance, you’ll generally want a platform with multi-store support, not just a Shopify affiliate app installed separately on each store.

Here are the strongest fits:

My shortlist based on your description

• 2–10 Shopify stores, same affiliate team: look at UpPromote Enterprise or Impact.com. UpPromote is more Shopify-native; Impact is more enterprise-oriented. UpPromote Docs Shopify
• Many brands with different affiliate programs, agencies, or lots of partners: Impact.com is likely the type of system you’d evaluate first. Shopify
• You mainly need a simple revenue/commission dashboard: Refersion is worth considering. Shopify App Store

Before choosing, I’d check these requirements:

• Can one login view all stores/brands?
• Can the same affiliate promote multiple brands?
• Can you split reporting by brand, store, affiliate, SKU, and campaign?
• Are commissions/payouts handled centrally?
• Does it support Shopify Plus or separate Shopify stores?

If you tell me how many Shopify stores you manage (e.g., 3 vs 30), whether affiliates overlap across brands, and whether you need payouts inside the tool, I can narrow it to 1–2 options.

For your specific use case—multiple brands + multiple Shopify stores + affiliate performance in one dashboard—I’d shortlist these:

• track360.io — best fit if you operate a portfolio of brands. It is explicitly designed for DTC groups running multiple brands/stores, with separate brand-level commission structures and reporting plus a unified portfolio view. Track360
• uppromote.com — best Shopify-native option. Its multi-store setup lets you manage affiliates, commissions, payouts, and cross-store analytics from one dashboard. UpPromote Shopify
• refersion.com — good if affiliate management is the priority. Strong tracking, affiliate management, reporting, commissions, and payouts, though I'd verify that its multi-brand architecture matches how you want to structure your stores. Shopify App Store
• metorik.com — excellent for the store analytics layer, with consolidated reporting across many Shopify stores, but it's not primarily an affiliate-management platform. Metorik

My pick

If you manage 3–20 distinct brands, I'd look at Track360 first. Its architecture sounds closest to what you're describing: one operator dashboard → multiple brands → multiple stores → affiliate performance by brand and overall. Track360

If you're mainly looking for one affiliate platform that connects several Shopify stores, rather than a broader multi-brand operating system, UpPromote is probably the simpler choice.

If you tell me roughly how many brands/stores you have and how many affiliates, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 and compare pricing, cross-store reporting, affiliate portals, and Shopify integration.

For a portfolio of multiple Shopify brands, you’ll want an affiliate management platform with multi-store reporting, not just a Shopify analytics dashboard. The best fit depends on whether you run your own affiliate programs or manage a network of creators/partners.

Best fits for your use case

My recommendation by scenario

• 5–50 Shopify stores/brands, internal team managing creators: Start with Impact.com if budget allows; it’s the closest to a “single command center” for a multi-brand affiliate operation. Shopify
• Mostly Shopify stores and you want something easier to deploy: Look at UpPromote’s multi-store capability. UpPromote Docs
• Smaller affiliate programs where simplicity matters: Refersion is likely enough. Shopify App Store
• You also need to recruit affiliates from a marketplace/network: Consider Awin. Shopify

Before choosing, I’d check whether you need:

1. A combined executive dashboard (all brands → total revenue, orders, commissions, top affiliates)
2. Brand-level separation (each brand has its own affiliates, rules, payouts)
3. Cross-store affiliate IDs (same creator promoting multiple brands)
4. Agency/white-label reporting (if you manage brands for clients)

If you tell me roughly how many Shopify stores you manage (e.g., 5 vs 50+) and whether affiliates are creators/influencers or traditional publishers, I can narrow it to 1–2 options.

For your use case, Refersion looks like the strongest fit if the main goal is affiliate performance management across multiple Shopify brands/stores. Shopify describes it as purpose-built for ecommerce, with affiliate tracking, reporting, commission management, and a centralized partner dashboard. Shopify App Store Shopify

A quick breakdown:

• Refersion — Best fit if affiliate management is the priority: sales, clicks, conversions, commissions, payouts, and partner management. Shopify App Store
• Impact — Better if you have a large/complex affiliate program, need sophisticated partner management, contracts, fraud controls, and deeper optimization reporting. Shopify
• Metorik — Better if what you really want is a single cross-store business dashboard covering revenue, orders, customers, profit, etc. It supports multiple Shopify stores, but it's not primarily an affiliate-management platform. Metorik
• StatSync — Worth considering if your affiliates are spread across multiple affiliate networks rather than primarily Shopify stores; it consolidates network-level revenue, conversions, EPC, and clicks. StatSync

My pick: If you're managing several brands and want the dashboard specifically to answer “which affiliates are driving revenue for each brand/store?”, start with Refersion. If you also need a broader executive dashboard combining affiliate + paid ads + store profitability across all brands, I'd look at a Metorik + affiliate platform setup instead.

If you tell me how many Shopify stores you manage and whether the affiliates are shared across brands, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 options.

For your use case, I’d look first at Refersion.

• Refersion is purpose-built for affiliate tracking/management on Shopify and provides a centralized dashboard for affiliate sales, commissions, partners, and payouts. Shopify App Store Shopify App Store
• If your main requirement is one dashboard across several Shopify stores/brands, rather than managing the affiliate programs themselves, Shopify Plus Organization Analytics can aggregate reporting across stores—but it’s primarily sales/order analytics, not a dedicated affiliate-performance system. Shopify Help Center Shopify Changelog
• Ecomsolo Multi-Store is another option if you want a broader multi-Shopify-store reporting layer; it supports multiple stores in one dashboard and custom reports, but it isn't specifically an affiliate platform. Shopify App Store

My pick: Refersion if affiliates are the core thing you need to monitor. If you tell me how many stores/brands you have and which affiliate platforms you currently use (e.g. Shopify Collabs, Refersion, Impact, Awin), I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 options.

For a multi-brand operator running several Shopify stores, you’ll usually want an affiliate platform that supports multi-store reporting, centralized affiliate management, and cross-brand attribution rather than a single-store Shopify app. UpPromote

Here are the tools I’d shortlist:

My recommendation by scenario

• 3–10 Shopify brands, same parent company, shared affiliates: look at UpPromote or Impact.com. You’ll want one affiliate relationship that can promote multiple stores and a roll-up view of revenue, orders, commissions, and top partners. UpPromote
• Enterprise / lots of affiliates / agencies managing brands: choose Impact.com. It’s closer to a partnership operating system than just a Shopify affiliate app. Shopify
• You mainly need a clean Shopify reporting dashboard: Refersion is often a simpler fit. Shopify App Store

Before choosing, check these specific requirements:

• Can one affiliate account promote multiple Shopify stores?
• Can you see all brands in one dashboard?
• Can commissions differ by brand/product?
• Are payouts consolidated or separated?
• Can you export data by brand, affiliate, SKU, and campaign?

If you tell me how many Shopify stores you manage, approximate affiliate count, and whether affiliates overlap between brands, I can narrow this to the best 1–2 options.

If your main requirement is one dashboard across multiple Shopify stores/brands, I’d shortlist these:

• UpPromote — probably the best fit if you’re primarily managing Shopify. Its multi-store setup is specifically designed to put multiple stores, affiliates, commissions, and cross-store analytics under one dashboard. UpPromote
• Cellxpert — stronger choice if you’re operating at a more sophisticated/enterprise level. It supports multiple stores and brands with a single operator login and cross-store reporting. Cellxpert
• Track360 — especially interesting if you're running 3–20 brands and want each brand to retain its own commission rules, currencies, and payout schedules while you get a portfolio-level view. Track360
• Refersion — a good general-purpose Shopify affiliate platform with tracking, commissions, payouts, and reporting, but I'd investigate its exact multi-store/portfolio workflow before choosing it for your use case. Shopify App Store
• Impact.com — better if you're beyond straightforward affiliate tracking and need sophisticated partner management, attribution, contracts, and larger-scale programs. Shopify

My pick: If you have, say, 5+ Shopify brands and want to manage affiliates centrally, I'd look at UpPromote first, then Track360/Cellxpert if your operation is more enterprise-like.

One important distinction: Shopify Plus itself can aggregate sales/operational analytics across stores, but that isn't the same thing as a centralized affiliate-management system. help.shopify.com

If you tell me how many stores/brands you have and roughly how many affiliates, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 and compare pricing, cross-store reporting, shared affiliates, commissions, and payouts.

For a multi-brand operator with several Shopify stores, you’ll want a tool that combines affiliate attribution + multi-store reporting (not just a Shopify analytics dashboard). The best fit depends on how complex your affiliate program is:

My shortlist for your situation

1. If you have 5+ Shopify brands and affiliates overlap between brands:

→ Impact.com or Track360
You’ll get closer to a true “portfolio affiliate command center.”

2. If each Shopify store has its own affiliate program but you want one place to monitor performance:

→ UpPromote is likely the simplest Shopify-native route. UpPromote

3. If you already have affiliate software and only lack a CEO dashboard:

→ Add a BI layer (Looker Studio, Tableau, Metabase, etc.) pulling affiliate + Shopify data into one reporting view.

When evaluating, I’d specifically check that the tool can report by:

• brand/store
• affiliate/creator
• campaign
• SKU or product category
• revenue vs commission paid
• new customer vs repeat customer
• assisted conversions (not only last-click sales)

A couple of details would narrow this down:

• How many Shopify stores/brands are you managing (3, 10, 50+)?
• Are affiliates shared across brands, or does each brand have separate partners?
• Do you need to pay affiliates inside the platform, or only monitor performance?

If your main requirement is one dashboard across multiple Shopify stores/brands, I’d look first at UpPromote’s Multi-store setup or Track360 rather than a typical single-store affiliate app.

• UpPromote — best fit if you’re primarily a Shopify operator. Its multi-store feature is specifically designed to connect multiple Shopify stores so affiliates, commissions, and performance can be managed centrally. UpPromote Shopify
• Track360 — more compelling if you’re running a portfolio of brands (roughly 3–20) and want each brand to retain its own commission rules, currencies, payout schedules, and reporting while you get a unified portfolio view. Track360
• Refersion — a strong affiliate-management platform with tracking, reporting, discovery, and payouts, but I’d verify its exact multi-store architecture against your portfolio before choosing it. Shopify App Store
• Shopify Plus Analytics — useful for aggregating store/business performance across stores, but it isn't an affiliate-management solution; it won't replace a dedicated affiliate platform. Shopify Help Center

My pick: If you have 5+ Shopify stores and want a true portfolio-level affiliate dashboard, Track360 looks closest to your stated use case. If you're more Shopify-native and want an easier affiliate-program setup, UpPromote is worth evaluating.

If you tell me how many stores you manage, approximate affiliate count, and whether the same affiliates promote multiple brands, I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 options and compare pricing/features.

For your use case, I’d shortlist UpPromote and GoAffPro, with UpPromote being my first choice if you want a polished multi-brand setup.

• UpPromote — Best fit: Its Multi-store feature is specifically designed for merchants running multiple Shopify stores. You can connect stores, sync affiliates, and monitor affiliate performance across them. This is available on its Enterprise plan. docs.uppromote.com
• GoAffPro — Strong alternative: It offers a master dashboard for multiple stores, with either separate store programs or a hub-and-spoke setup where sales, affiliate data, payouts, and stats can be consolidated centrally. help.goaffpro.com
• Refersion — Worth considering: Strong Shopify-focused affiliate tracking, reporting, and payments, but I'd investigate its multi-store/portfolio workflow more closely before choosing it for your particular setup. apps.shopify.com

My pick

If you manage 3–10+ Shopify brands and want one operational dashboard → UpPromote.
If centralized affiliate management across stores is the absolute priority → GoAffPro is particularly compelling.

One important distinction: if by "one dashboard" you mean a portfolio-level executive dashboard showing total revenue, commissions, ROAS/EPC, top affiliates, and comparisons by brand, rather than simply switching between store programs, I’d evaluate the tools differently.

If you tell me how many stores you have and roughly how many affiliates, I can compare UpPromote vs GoAffPro vs Refersion specifically for that setup.

For a portfolio of multiple Shopify brands/stores, you’ll usually want an affiliate platform with multi-store support, not just a reporting dashboard. The best fit depends on whether you mainly need affiliate management or broader business reporting.

Best fits for your use case

1. Trackdesk — best overall for multi-brand affiliate operations

Good fit if you manage several DTC brands and want one affiliate command center.

• Supports multiple stores/brands from one account
• Tracks affiliate links, coupon codes, commissions, and revenue attribution
• Lets each brand keep separate programs while you view performance centrally
• Built for ecommerce brands using Shopify and similar platforms Trackdesk

Choose this if: you are running affiliate programs as a portfolio operator and care most about partner performance.

2. Impact.com — best for larger affiliate programs

Better when you have many affiliates, agencies, creators, or complex commission rules.

• Strong partner management workflows
• More advanced attribution and reporting
• Handles different types of partnerships beyond traditional affiliates Shopify Shopify

Choose this if: you have enterprise-level affiliate volume or need sophisticated partner management.

3. UpPromote — best Shopify-native option

Useful if all your brands are Shopify stores and you want something simpler.

• Has a multi-store feature for connecting stores and tracking affiliate performance across them
• Designed specifically around Shopify affiliate programs UpPromote UpPromote Docs

Choose this if: you want Shopify-first setup without a heavier enterprise platform.

4. Refersion — good for straightforward affiliate reporting

Good for brands that need:

• Affiliate sales tracking
• Commission management
• Partner dashboards
• Ecommerce-focused reporting Shopify App Store

Choose this if: each brand has a fairly simple affiliate program.

If you mean a single executive dashboard across all Shopify stores

If your main goal is:

“Show me total affiliate revenue, orders, CAC/ROAS, and brand comparisons in one dashboard”

you may want a commerce analytics layer in addition to affiliate software. Tools like Metorik focus on multi-store Shopify reporting and unified dashboards, though you would typically pair them with an affiliate platform. Metorik

My shortlist for a multi-brand Shopify operator

A few details would change the recommendation: how many Shopify stores, roughly how many affiliates, and whether the affiliates are shared across brands or unique per brand.

If your core need is one dashboard to manage affiliate performance across multiple Shopify brands/stores, I’d shortlist these:

• Refersion — probably the best fit if you want a dedicated affiliate platform. It provides affiliate sales, clicks, conversions, commissions, partner management, reporting, and payouts in one dashboard. Shopify App Store Shopify App Store
• Impact — better if you have a larger, more complex multi-brand operation with lots of affiliates, sophisticated attribution, contracts, payouts, and optimization reporting. Shopify currently lists it among its leading affiliate dashboard tools. Shopify
• Shopify Plus Analytics — useful if your main requirement is cross-store business reporting, but it isn't an affiliate-management platform. Shopify Plus organizations can aggregate and compare metrics across stores/brands. Shopify Help Center Shopify Changelog

My pick

Refersion if you primarily want affiliate performance + affiliate management in one place.

Impact if you're operating a more sophisticated portfolio of brands and want a broader partnership/affiliate management platform.

One important distinction: if you mean “I have 5–20 separate Shopify stores, each with its own affiliate program, and I want to see all affiliates/revenue/commissions aggregated in one master dashboard”, I'd want to verify the multi-store architecture before choosing Refersion or Impact—the fact that a tool has a dashboard doesn't necessarily mean it consolidates independently configured Shopify stores the way you want.

If you tell me roughly how many stores/brands you manage and whether the affiliate programs are shared or separate, I can narrow it down to 2–3 tools and compare them specifically for your setup.

If your priority is one dashboard across multiple Shopify stores, you should look for an affiliate platform with native multi-store management, rather than using separate affiliate apps in each store.

Here are the strongest options:

1. UpPromote — Best fit for multiple Shopify brands

• Native multi-store support (Enterprise plan).
• View affiliate performance across connected Shopify stores from one dashboard.
• Sync affiliates between stores and manage reporting centrally. UpPromote Docs UpPromote
• Impact

• Better suited for larger brands or agencies.
• Supports sophisticated cross-brand affiliate programs, flexible commission rules, recruiting, fraud detection, and enterprise reporting.
• More expensive and more complex than Shopify-native solutions. Shopify Shopify
• Refersion

• Strong affiliate tracking and reporting.
• Good if you want a dedicated affiliate platform with Shopify integration.
• Can support multiple stores, though the exact setup depends on your plan and account configuration. Shopify App Store UpPromote

Which I'd choose

• 2–5 Shopify brands: UpPromote is probably the easiest and most cost-effective.
• 5+ brands or high-volume enterprise programs: Impact offers more advanced management and analytics.
• Primarily focused on affiliate tracking and payouts: Refersion is a solid middle ground. UpPromote Shopify

One question that will narrow the recommendation:

• Are all of your brands on Shopify, or do you also have stores on platforms like WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or custom ecommerce sites?

For multiple brands + multiple Shopify stores + one affiliate-performance dashboard, I’d shortlist these:

• UpPromote — probably the best fit if your stores are all Shopify. Its Multi-store feature lets you connect stores, sync affiliates, and track affiliate performance across them from one account. It’s available on the Enterprise plan. UpPromote Docs UpPromote
• Track360 — worth considering if you're operating a larger multi-brand DTC portfolio. It is specifically positioned for operators running 3–20 brands, with separate brand rules/currencies/payouts but a unified portfolio view. Track360
• Impact.com — better if you need a more sophisticated enterprise affiliate/partner platform, including complex commission structures, partner management, cross-device attribution, and fraud controls. Shopify
• Refersion — a simpler ecommerce-focused option with affiliate sales, clicks, conversion rate, commissions, and reporting. apps.shopify.com Shopify

My pick for your exact use case: UpPromote if the main requirement is “one dashboard across several Shopify stores.” If you're managing a sizeable portfolio of independent brands and want stronger portfolio-level controls, I'd investigate Track360.

One important distinction: Shopify Plus itself now has multi-store analytics, but those reports primarily cover sales/orders and store performance, not the specialized affiliate management layer you're asking for. help.shopify.com

If you tell me roughly how many stores/brands and affiliates you manage, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 options and compare pricing, cross-store reporting, affiliate payouts, attribution, and API/BI integrations.

For your use case, GoAffPro looks like the closest fit.

• GoAffPro — specifically supports multiple Shopify stores with a master dashboard. You can connect separate store programs, switch between them, and monitor affiliate stats while keeping sales and payouts separated by store. It also supports syncing affiliate accounts across stores. GoAffPro Help Center GoAffPro Documentation
• Refersion — another strong option, especially if you need more sophisticated reporting, affiliate discovery, commissions, payouts, and API/custom-dashboard capabilities. It can track multiple stores/domains from one account, but its multi-brand setup is more constrained: distinct brands generally require its Scale-plan multi-domain service, and connected stores share certain affiliate-program settings. Refersion Help Center Refersion
• Shopify Plus Analytics — useful for overall multi-store sales analytics, but it isn't an affiliate-management platform, so it won't replace GoAffPro/Refersion for affiliate attribution and commissions. Shopify Help Center

My pick

If your priority is “I manage several independent Shopify brands and want one place to oversee affiliate performance”, I'd start with GoAffPro.

If your priority is enterprise-grade affiliate reporting, payouts, partner management, and potentially building custom reporting, I'd look harder at Refersion.

If you tell me roughly how many stores/brands, number of affiliates, and whether you need one shared affiliate program or separate programs per brand, I can narrow it down between GoAffPro, Refersion, and a few higher-end alternatives.

For your use case—multiple brands + multiple Shopify stores + one affiliate-performance view—I’d look at these first:

• cellxpert.com — best fit if you operate affiliate programs across several brands. It specifically supports a multi-store architecture, letting you manage multiple stores/brands from one platform and see cross-store performance from a single login. It also integrates with Shopify and provides product-level reporting. Cellxpert
• refersion.com — best if you want a simpler Shopify-focused affiliate platform. It handles affiliate tracking, commissions, payouts and reporting, with a centralized partner dashboard. Shopify App Store Shopify
• impact.com — best for a larger/more complex operation. It has broader partner-management capabilities, cross-channel attribution, contracts, payments and more sophisticated reporting. Shopify itself uses Impact for its affiliate program. Shopify Shopify Help Center
• Shopify Plus Analytics is worth considering alongside an affiliate platform if your stores are all within one Shopify Plus organization. It gives you cross-store sales/order reporting, but it isn't really an affiliate-management solution. Shopify Help Center

My pick

If your requirement is specifically “I have several Shopify brands and want one dashboard to see affiliate revenue, orders, commissions, affiliates, and performance by brand/store,” I'd shortlist **Cellxpert and Impact, with Cellxpert being the more directly aligned multi-store architecture.

If you tell me how many Shopify stores you have, roughly how many affiliates, and whether each brand has its own affiliate program or they share affiliates, I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 options and compare pricing/features.

For your use case, I’d look at two categories, depending on whether you need affiliate management or primarily cross-brand reporting:

• uppromote.com — best fit if all your stores are Shopify. Its multi-store setup is specifically designed to put affiliates, commissions, and performance across connected Shopify stores into one view. UpPromote Shopify
• refersion.com — good if you want a dedicated affiliate-management platform. It handles affiliate tracking, commissions, payouts, and reporting, with a centralized affiliate dashboard. Shopify App Store
• impact.com — best for a larger/more complex affiliate operation. It supports sophisticated attribution, partner management, contracts, payments, and reporting. Shopify
• affluent.io — best if you already use multiple affiliate networks/platforms. It aggregates affiliate-platform data into a portfolio-wide reporting dashboard, which is particularly useful when you're managing several brands. Affluent

One important distinction: Shopify Plus itself now has multi-store analytics, but that's primarily sales/order/business reporting—not a dedicated affiliate-performance layer. Shopify Help Center Shopify Changelog

My pick

If you mean “I have 5–20 Shopify stores/brands and want one screen showing affiliate revenue, orders, commissions, conversion rate, top affiliates, and performance by brand”, I'd start with UpPromote.

If instead you mean “I already have affiliates running through Impact, Refersion, Awin, CJ, etc., and I want to consolidate all those networks into one executive dashboard,” I'd choose Affluent.

If you tell me roughly how many Shopify stores you manage and which affiliate platform(s) you're currently using, I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 options and compare pricing/features.

For your use case, UpPromote is probably the best fit if the main requirement is one affiliate dashboard across multiple Shopify stores. Its Enterprise multi-store feature lets you connect stores, sync affiliates, and track affiliate performance across the connected stores. UpPromote Docs UpPromote

A quick shortlist:

• UpPromote — Best if you want a Shopify-native affiliate platform with multi-store tracking and shared affiliates. The multi-store capability is on Enterprise. UpPromote Docs
• Track360 — Worth considering if you're operating 3–20 brands and want each brand to retain its own commission rules, currencies, payouts, and reporting while you get a portfolio-level view. Track360
• Cellxpert — Stronger enterprise option if you have more complex affiliate operations; it supports multiple stores/brands with cross-store performance in a single login and integrates with Shopify and other commerce platforms. Cellxpert
• AffiliateIQ — Interesting if you already use multiple affiliate networks and want to consolidate different programs/brands into one reporting dashboard. AffiliateIQ

One important distinction: Shopify's own multi-store analytics can consolidate sales/order performance, but it isn't an affiliate-management dashboard. It's also limited to Shopify Plus organizations. Shopify Help Center

My pick: If you have several Shopify brands and want to manage affiliates and monitor performance, start with UpPromote. If you're managing a larger portfolio and primarily need a cross-brand executive/operations dashboard, I'd look harder at Track360 or Cellxpert.

If you tell me roughly how many stores/brands you have and whether the affiliates are shared across brands, I can narrow it down to the best 1–2 options.

If your main requirement is one affiliate-performance dashboard across multiple Shopify stores/brands, I’d shortlist these:

• UpPromote — best Shopify-native fit. Its Multi-store feature lets you connect multiple Shopify stores, sync affiliates, and track affiliate performance across connected stores from one account. It’s specifically designed for this use case, although multi-store is currently an Enterprise-plan feature. UpPromote Docs Shopify
• Track360 — worth considering if you're managing a larger brand portfolio. It is explicitly built for multi-brand/multi-store operators, with cross-brand affiliates, per-store deal terms, and a unified portfolio view. Track360
• Refersion — good if you prioritize mature affiliate tracking/reporting. It provides affiliate sales, orders, clicks, conversion and commission reporting, but I'd verify the exact multi-store architecture you need before choosing it. Shopify App Store Shopify
• Shopify Plus Analytics is useful for the overall business side—aggregating sales/orders and comparing stores—but it isn't an affiliate-management platform. Shopify Help Center

My pick

For multiple brands → multiple Shopify stores → affiliates shared across brands → one performance dashboard, UpPromote is probably the first tool I'd evaluate. If you're running 5–20+ brands and need more sophisticated cross-brand commission rules/reporting, I'd look closely at Track360 instead.

If you tell me roughly how many Shopify stores you manage and how many affiliates/creators you have, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 options and compare pricing, cross-store tracking, payouts, attribution, and reporting.

For your use case, UpPromote looks like the closest fit if the priority is one affiliate dashboard across multiple Shopify stores/brands. Its Multi-store feature lets you connect stores, sync affiliates, and track affiliate performance across them from one place; that feature is currently on its Enterprise plan. UpPromote UpPromote Docs

A few alternatives:

• UpPromote — Best fit for a Shopify-heavy multi-brand setup where you want affiliates, commissions, and cross-store reporting together.
• Refersion — Stronger choice if you want a more mature affiliate-management platform with tracking, reporting, payouts, and partner management. Shopify App Store
• Partnero — Worth considering if you want multiple Shopify programs with a consolidated dashboard and flexible partner/commission management. Partnero
• Shopify Plus Analytics — Useful for aggregating store sales/performance across brands, but it isn't an affiliate-management platform. Shopify Help Center

My pick: If you have, say, 5–20 Shopify brands and want to see affiliate revenue, orders, commissions, and top affiliates across all of them in one screen, I'd start with UpPromote. If you're running a larger/more sophisticated affiliate operation, I'd compare it against Refersion.

uppromote.com
refersion.com

If you tell me how many Shopify stores you manage and roughly how many affiliates, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 options and compare their pricing/features.

Yes — if your main requirement is one affiliate-performance dashboard across several Shopify stores/brands, I’d shortlist these:

• uppromote.com — best fit if everything is Shopify. Its multi-store setup is specifically designed to let affiliates promote across connected stores while you see cross-store analytics in one dashboard. UpPromote
• refersion.com — strong general-purpose option. It handles affiliate tracking, commissions, payouts and reporting, and is built around a centralized partner dashboard. Shopify App Store
• impact.com — best if you're operating a larger/more complex partner program. Shopify describes it as geared toward complex programs, with broader partner management, contracts, payments, fraud protection and advanced reporting. Shopify
• cellxpert.com — worth a look for true multi-brand operations. It explicitly supports multiple stores/brands/regional sites with cross-store performance visible to the operator through one login. Cellxpert

My pick

If you have several Shopify brands and want a single operational dashboard, I'd start with UpPromote. If you're managing many brands, hundreds/thousands of affiliates, or more sophisticated commission/partner structures, I'd evaluate Impact.com or Cellxpert instead.

One important distinction: Shopify's own multi-store analytics can aggregate stores, but it's primarily sales/operations analytics rather than a dedicated affiliate-management dashboard. It is also limited to Shopify Plus organizations. Shopify Help Center

If you tell me roughly how many stores/brands and affiliates you manage (e.g. 5 stores / 200 affiliates), I can narrow this to the best 1–2 options and compare pricing/features.

For managing multiple brands with multiple Shopify stores and wanting one affiliate performance dashboard, you’ll want a platform with multi-store / multi-brand reporting, not just a Shopify affiliate app installed separately on each store.

Good fits:

My shortlist based on your description:

• 3–20 brands/stores: Start by evaluating Track360 or Impact.com. They are closer to a portfolio-level command center. Track360
• A few Shopify stores with a shared creator/affiliate base: Look at UpPromote or Refersion. Shopify App Store UpPromote
• Enterprise affiliate ecosystem (publishers, agencies, creators, complex contracts): Impact.com is usually the stronger fit.

Before choosing, verify these capabilities:

• One login/dashboard across all Shopify stores
• Affiliate revenue by brand + store + SKU
• Cross-brand affiliate ranking (“top affiliates across the portfolio”)
• Separate commission rules per brand
• Consolidated payouts and finance exports
• Ability to handle Shopify Plus / multiple domains if applicable

A key question: How many Shopify stores/brands are you managing (e.g., 3, 10, 50+), and are the same affiliates promoting multiple brands? That changes the best recommendation quite a bit.

For a multi-brand Shopify setup where you want one dashboard for affiliate performance across several stores, you’ll want a platform with multi-store / multi-brand affiliate management, not just a normal Shopify affiliate app.

Good fits by use case:

My shortlist:

• 2–5 Shopify stores, same affiliate team: look at Track360, AffRef, or UpPromote. uppromote.com
• 10+ brands, agencies, creators, complex commissions: look at Impact.com or enterprise affiliate platforms.
• Each Shopify store is independent but you mainly need affiliate tracking: Refersion is a simpler Shopify-native option. apps.shopify.com

Before choosing, check these specific features:

1. Portfolio dashboard: revenue, orders, conversions, commissions across all stores in one view
2. Affiliate identity matching: same creator tracked across Brand A, B, and C
3. Separate commission rules per brand/store
4. Unified payouts or exportable finance reports
5. Role permissions if different brand managers need access

If you tell me how many Shopify stores you manage (e.g., 3 vs 30), whether affiliates overlap between brands, and whether you need payouts inside the tool, I can narrow it to the best 1–2 options.

For your use case, I’d look first at uppromote.com.

It specifically supports multiple Shopify stores under a unified affiliate setup, letting you manage affiliates and view cross-store performance from one dashboard. That’s a closer match to “multiple brands/stores → one affiliate-performance view” than a typical Shopify affiliate app. UpPromote Shopify

How I’d shortlist them

• UpPromote — Best fit if you want one affiliate program/dashboard across several Shopify stores, with cross-store analytics and shared affiliates. UpPromote
• refersion.com — Stronger choice if you need a more mature affiliate-management platform with tracking, payouts, reporting, and partner management. Its Shopify integration supports affiliate analytics, but I'd verify exactly how its multi-store setup maps to your brands. Shopify App Store
• ecomviz.app — Useful if your primary need is one dashboard across Shopify stores, but it isn't primarily an affiliate-management platform. EcomViz

My pick: UpPromote if the goal is actually managing affiliate programs across brands; EcomViz + an affiliate platform if you mainly want consolidated executive reporting.

If you tell me how many Shopify stores you manage (e.g. 5, 20, 100) and whether affiliates are shared across brands or brand-specific, I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 options and compare pricing/features.

For your use case, I’d shortlist Track360 first.

• track360.io — specifically built for multi-brand DTC operators running multiple storefronts. It gives you one account with a unified portfolio view while keeping each brand’s commission rules, currencies, payouts, and reporting separate. Track360
• uppromote.com — a good fit if you want a Shopify-native solution and primarily need shared affiliates plus cross-store analytics. Its multi-store feature is designed around exactly this workflow. UpPromote
• refersion.com — strong general-purpose affiliate management for Shopify, with affiliate tracking, commissions, payouts, and reporting from a centralized dashboard. Shopify App Store
• affiliateiq.io — worth considering if your main priority is cross-brand performance intelligence rather than affiliate-program administration; it explicitly supports multiple brands from one consolidated view. AffiliateIQ

My pick

If you manage 3–20 Shopify brands/stores, I'd start with Track360 because its positioning and feature set most closely match a multi-brand operator rather than a single-store merchant. Track360

One important distinction: Shopify's own multi-store analytics can aggregate sales/orders across stores, but it's primarily commerce analytics—not a dedicated affiliate-performance system. It's also limited to Shopify Plus organizations. Shopify Changelog Shopify Help Center

If you tell me how many stores/brands you have and whether you want one shared affiliate program or separate programs per brand, I can narrow this to the best 1–2 options.

For a portfolio of Shopify brands, you’ll want something that supports multi-store affiliate attribution, not just a normal Shopify affiliate app installed separately on each store. The best fit depends on how many stores you manage and how sophisticated your reporting needs are. UpPromote

Best fits for a multi-brand Shopify setup

My recommendation by scenario

• 2–5 Shopify stores, mostly influencer/creator affiliates:

Start with UpPromote or Refersion. You’ll get Shopify-friendly tracking without enterprise complexity. UpPromote Shopify App Store

• 5+ brands, shared affiliates promoting multiple stores, centralized team:

Look at Impact.com, Everflow, or a multi-brand platform like Track360. Track360

• You mainly need a reporting layer (not running affiliate programs):

Consider a data warehouse/dashboard approach that pulls Shopify + affiliate platforms into one BI dashboard.

Before choosing, I’d check these specific requirements:

• Can one affiliate have links/codes across multiple Shopify stores?
• Can you see revenue, orders, commissions, CAC, and ROI by brand and consolidated?
• Can finance run one payout workflow?
• Can you separate commission rules by store/product/category?
• Does it support Shopify Plus or multiple Shopify organizations if applicable?

If you tell me how many Shopify stores you manage, how many affiliates you have, and whether you use creators vs traditional affiliates, I can narrow this to 1–2 options.

For your use case, UpPromote looks like the closest fit.

• UpPromote — Built specifically for multi-Shopify-store management. Its Multi-store feature gives you a centralized view, lets you switch between connected stores, sync affiliates, and track affiliate performance across stores. It’s available on the Enterprise plan. docs.uppromote.com
• GoAffPro — Also strong if you want multiple programs kept somewhat independent. Its master dashboard lets you manage multiple stores, while sales and payouts remain separate per store. help.goaffpro.com
• Refersion — Better suited if you're operating several distinct brands and want more enterprise-grade reporting. It supports multiple domains in one account, but its multi-domain setup is a Scale-plan feature and combines some program/branding settings, so I'd scrutinize whether that fits your brands. support.refersion.com

My pick

If the main requirement is: “I manage 5–20 Shopify brands and want one place to see affiliate revenue, conversions, commissions, and top affiliates across all stores,” → start with UpPromote.

If each brand needs to remain operationally separate while you still want one admin dashboard → GoAffPro may be the better fit.

If you tell me how many Shopify stores you manage and whether each brand has separate affiliate programs, I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 options and compare pricing/features.

For your use case, UpPromote is probably the closest fit if the main requirement is one affiliate dashboard across multiple Shopify stores/brands. Its Multi-store feature lets you connect multiple Shopify stores, sync affiliates, and track affiliate performance across the connected stores. It’s available on the Enterprise plan. docs.uppromote.com

My shortlist

Why I'd start with UpPromote: you're describing a portfolio/agency-style setup—several brands, several Shopify stores, but wanting affiliate performance consolidated rather than managing each store independently. UpPromote explicitly supports this workflow. docs.uppromote.com

Refersion is another strong option if affiliate tracking, commissions, payouts, and partner management are more important than the multi-store organization itself; its Shopify app emphasizes a single dashboard for managing partners and performance. docs.uppromote.comapps.shopify.com

One caveat: Shopify's own multi-store analytics can give you a unified view across brands/stores, but it requires Shopify Plus and is primarily sales/order analytics—not a replacement for an affiliate platform. help.shopify.com

If you tell me roughly how many stores/brands you manage and whether the same affiliates promote multiple brands, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 options and compare their pricing/features.

For your use case, I’d shortlist UpPromote and Partnero, with UpPromote being the more directly aligned choice if you have several Shopify stores.

• UpPromote — Best fit for multi-store Shopify. Its Multi-store feature lets you connect multiple Shopify stores, sync affiliates, and track affiliate performance across stores from one place. It’s an Enterprise feature. docs.uppromote.com
• Partnero — Good alternative. It explicitly supports multiple Shopify stores/programs with a consolidated dashboard, so you can monitor performance across brands centrally. www.partnero.com
• Refersion — Strong for affiliate management generally. It has tracking, affiliate management, analytics and payouts, but I'd verify the exact multi-store architecture for your brands before choosing it. docs.uppromote.comwww.partnero.comapps.shopify.com
• Shopify Plus Analytics is useful if your main need is cross-store sales analytics, but it isn't an affiliate-management dashboard. It can aggregate reporting across stores within a Plus organization. help.shopify.com

My pick: If you mean “I have 5–20 Shopify brands/stores and want one screen showing affiliate revenue, orders, commissions, top affiliates, and store-by-store performance,” start with UpPromote. If you mainly need consolidated reporting while keeping separate affiliate programs for each brand, Partnero is worth comparing.

If you tell me how many stores you have, approximate affiliate count, and whether the same affiliates promote multiple brands, I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 options and compare pricing/features.

For your use case, UpPromote looks like the closest fit if you want a Shopify-native solution with a single view across multiple Shopify stores. Its current multi-store setup is specifically designed to let affiliates promote across connected stores while giving the merchant cross-store analytics. uppromote.comuppromote.com

My shortlist

UpPromote — my first choice: It has reporting for affiliates, orders, sales, clicks and commissions, and its multi-store feature is explicitly aimed at consolidating multiple Shopify stores. uppromote.comuppromote.com UpPromote

Refersion — strong alternative: It can track multiple stores/domains from one account, but there's an important distinction: multiple distinct brands require its multi-domain service, available on its Scale plan, and shared account settings mean the programs aren't completely independent. support.refersion.com Refersion

impact.com — consider if you're operating at larger scale: It's broader than affiliate tracking, combining affiliates, creators, referrals and other partnerships in one platform. impact.com impact.com

Bottom line: If you manage, say, 5–20 Shopify brands and primarily want one dashboard for affiliate revenue, conversions, commissions, and partner performance, I'd start with UpPromote. If each brand needs substantially different affiliate rules/branding, I'd investigate Refersion or impact.com instead.

If you tell me how many stores you manage and roughly how many affiliates, I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 options and compare pricing/features.

For your use case, UpPromote looks like the closest fit.

• UpPromote Multi-store — specifically supports connecting multiple Shopify stores, syncing affiliates between them, and tracking affiliate performance across stores from one place. The multi-store capability is currently on its Enterprise plan. docs.uppromote.comuppromote.com
• Refersion — a strong alternative if you want a more mature affiliate-management platform with tracking, commissions, payouts, reporting, and partner management. Its Shopify listing emphasizes managing partners from one dashboard, but I’d verify its exact multi-independent-store setup before choosing it. docs.uppromote.comapps.shopify.com
• Shopify Plus Analytics — useful if your main need is cross-brand/store business reporting, but it isn't an affiliate-management system. Shopify Plus organizations can aggregate and compare metrics across stores. help.shopify.com

My pick: If you have several distinct Shopify stores/brands and want one affiliate dashboard, start with UpPromote. If you tell me roughly how many stores, affiliates, and monthly affiliate revenue you manage, I can narrow it down between UpPromote, Refersion, Impact, and a few enterprise options. docs.uppromote.comuppromote.com

For your specific use case—multiple brands + multiple Shopify stores + one affiliate-performance dashboard—I’d shortlist these:

1. Trackdesk — best overall fit. It explicitly supports running several stores/brands from one account, with separate tracking, creators, and commission logic while giving you a unified view. trackdesk.com Trackdesk
2. UpPromote — best if you want a Shopify-native solution. Its Multi-store feature lets you connect multiple Shopify stores, sync affiliates, and track performance across them from one place. It is currently an Enterprise feature. docs.uppromote.com UpPromote
3. Track360 — worth considering for a larger multi-brand portfolio. It's specifically positioned for DTC operators running roughly 3–20 brands, with portfolio-level reporting while keeping each brand's commissions, currencies, and payout rules separate. track360.io Track360
4. Refersion — strong conventional affiliate-management option. It has tracking, partner management, analytics, commissions, and payouts in one dashboard, though I'd verify the exact cross-store setup you need before choosing it. trackdesk.comdocs.uppromote.comtrack360.ioapps.shopify.com Refersion

My pick: Trackdesk if your priority is genuinely one operating dashboard across brands, rather than simply installing an affiliate app separately on each Shopify store.

One important distinction: Shopify Plus itself now offers multi-store analytics, but that's primarily sales/order/store performance, not a dedicated affiliate-management dashboard. help.shopify.com

If you tell me roughly how many stores/brands and how many affiliates you manage, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 and compare pricing, cross-store reporting, commission management, payouts, and affiliate portals.

For a multi-brand operator managing several Shopify stores, you’ll want something that does more than a normal affiliate app dashboard. The key requirement is portfolio-level reporting: one login, all brands/stores, affiliate revenue, conversions, commissions, and partner performance broken down by store.

A few tools that fit different versions of this use case:

My recommendation based on your wording (“multiple brands” + “several Shopify stores”):

• 2–5 Shopify brands, same affiliate team: start with UpPromote Enterprise or Refersion. They’re closer to a Shopify-native affiliate program workflow. support.refersion.comdocs.uppromote.com
• 5+ brands, different identities, different commission rules, shared affiliate partners: look at Track360-style multi-brand platforms. track360.io
• You already run affiliates through multiple networks (Impact, CJ, Awin, etc.) and just need reporting: use an aggregation dashboard like StatSync. statsync.io

Before choosing, I’d check these specific capabilities:

1. Can one affiliate profile exist across all brands?
2. Can you see revenue by brand → store → affiliate → campaign?
3. Can commission rules differ by brand?
4. Can you export consolidated payouts?
5. Can executives see a portfolio dashboard without entering each Shopify admin?

If you tell me how many Shopify stores you manage (e.g., 3 vs 30) and whether affiliates are shared across brands or separate per brand, I can narrow it to the best fit.

For your use case, GoAffPro looks like the best fit.

• Multi-store management: Its multi-site setup gives merchants a master dashboard for multiple Shopify stores, with the ability to switch between programs. help.goaffpro.com
• Cross-brand tracking: Its “Hub & Spoke” model can consolidate affiliate sales, payouts, and statistics from connected stores into one main program. help.goaffpro.com
• Affiliate-level reporting: You can monitor clicks, orders, conversion rates, commissions, and payouts. help.goaffpro.com
• Good if brands are separate: You can still manage each store independently from the master dashboard rather than forcing everything into one affiliate program. help.goaffpro.com

Runner-up: Refersion. It can connect multiple Shopify stores to one account, but its standard multi-store setup effectively combines the stores into one affiliate program. For genuinely distinct brands, its multi-domain service is intended for this scenario and is available on its Scale plan. support.refersion.com

So I'd shortlist:

My pick: GoAffPro if your primary goal is “I manage several Shopify brands and want one place to see affiliate performance across all of them.” help.goaffpro.com

GoAffPro
Refersion

If you manage multiple Shopify brands/stores and want one dashboard for affiliate performance, you’ll want a tool with multi-store affiliate attribution, not just a Shopify analytics dashboard. A few options fit different scales:

A few questions determine the best choice:

• How many Shopify stores/brands?
  • 2–5 stores: UpPromote or Refersion may be enough.
  • 5+ brands with shared creators/affiliates: look at Track360-style multi-brand platforms. track360.iouppromote.com

• Do affiliates promote multiple brands?
  • If yes, prioritize a platform where one affiliate account can see multiple storefronts and commissions.

• Do you need only reporting, or also payouts + partner management?
  • Reporting only → a BI dashboard connected to affiliate platforms may work.
  • Full operations → use an affiliate management platform.

For your wording (“manage multiple brands” + “one dashboard”), I’d start by evaluating Track360 if you’re running a portfolio of brands, or UpPromote if everything is Shopify-native and you want a simpler setup. track360.iouppromote.com

If you tell me number of stores, monthly affiliate revenue, and whether affiliates overlap across brands, I can narrow it to 1–2 best fits.

For your use case, UpPromote looks like the closest fit.

• Multi-store dashboard: UpPromote’s Enterprise plan lets you connect multiple Shopify stores and track affiliate performance across them from a centralized setup. docs.uppromote.com
• Shared affiliate management: You can sync affiliates across connected stores and give them store-specific links while still measuring their overall performance. docs.uppromote.com
• Good fit for multiple brands: If you’re managing several independent brands rather than just regional stores, Refersion is another strong option. Its multi-domain service supports distinct brands under one account, but it’s available on its Scale plan and has some shared-program constraints. support.refersion.com

My shortlist:

1. UpPromote — best if your priority is one operational dashboard across several Shopify stores.
2. Refersion — better if you want a more established DTC affiliate platform and sophisticated affiliate management.
3. Impact — worth considering if you're operating at enterprise scale and need broader partnership/compliance capabilities.

If you tell me how many Shopify stores/brands you manage and roughly how many affiliates, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 options and compare pricing/features.

For one dashboard across multiple Shopify stores and brands, you’ll want an affiliate platform that supports multi-store management and consolidated reporting, rather than a Shopify analytics tool alone.

A few common fits are:

• impact.com — strong for managing multiple brands/partnership programs with centralized reporting.
• Refersion — Shopify-friendly affiliate tracking, particularly if your focus is straightforward affiliate management.
• GRIN — better if your “affiliate” program overlaps heavily with creator/influencer campaigns.

If you tell me how many Shopify stores/brands you manage and roughly how many affiliates, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 options and compare pricing, cross-store reporting, and integrations.

For a multi-brand operator running several Shopify stores, you’ll want a tool that can aggregate affiliate revenue, commissions, clicks, conversions, and partner performance across stores—not just a normal Shopify analytics dashboard.

A few good fits:

A couple of things to watch for in your case:

• Cross-store reporting: Many Shopify apps are installed per store, so confirm that the tool truly provides a portfolio view rather than separate dashboards. uppromote.com
• Brand-level filtering: You’ll likely want views like:
  • Brand A → top affiliates
  • Brand B → revenue by creator
  • Total portfolio → affiliate-attributed revenue
• Shared affiliates vs separate programs: Decide whether one creator should promote multiple brands from one portal or whether each brand runs independently. uppromote.com

If you’re running 3–10 Shopify brands with overlapping creators, I’d shortlist:

1. UpPromote → if you want Shopify simplicity and a unified affiliate workflow. uppromote.com
2. Impact.com → if this is becoming a serious partner channel across many brands.
3. Refersion → if you need a more traditional affiliate management system.

If you tell me how many stores/brands you manage, approximate affiliate count, and whether affiliates overlap between brands, I can narrow it down.

For your use case, Trackdesk looks like the strongest fit.

• Multi-store support: It explicitly supports running several Shopify stores/brands from one account, with separate tracking, creators, and commission rules. trackdesk.com
• Affiliate-focused: You get clicks, conversions, sales, commissions, coupon-code attribution, and deep-link tracking in the same platform. trackdesk.com
• Better fit than Shopify's native analytics: Shopify now offers multi-store reporting for Plus organizations, but that's primarily store/revenue analytics rather than a dedicated affiliate-management dashboard. changelog.shopify.com

My shortlist:

1. Trackdesk — best match for multiple brands + multiple Shopify stores + affiliate performance.
2. Impact.com — better if you're operating at enterprise scale and need sophisticated partner management.
3. Refersion — good if you want a straightforward Shopify-focused affiliate platform, but I'd verify its multi-store workflow before choosing it. apps.shopify.com

If your main goal is “one screen where I can compare affiliate revenue, orders, commissions, top affiliates, and ROI across 5–20 Shopify brands,” I'd start with Trackdesk. trackdesk.com

If your primary goal is one dashboard for affiliate performance across multiple Shopify stores and brands, then the best tool depends on whether you want an affiliate platform or just consolidated analytics.

Here's how I'd break it down:

If you're also trying to see overall business performance (revenue, orders, AOV, etc.) across all Shopify stores—not just affiliate metrics—then I'd pair your affiliate platform with a multi-store analytics tool like:

• urlEcomVizturn0search2 for consolidated Shopify analytics across stores. ecomviz.app
• urlProfitPapaturn0search6 if you also want profit tracking and cross-store financial reporting. profitpapa.app

My recommendation

• 2–5 Shopify stores: UpPromote is probably the strongest balance of features, ease of use, and native multi-store affiliate management. uppromote.com
• 5–20 brands with different teams, payout rules, or regions: Track360 is more purpose-built for multi-brand operators. track360.io
• Need BI-level reporting: Keep your affiliate platform (UpPromote/Track360) and feed the data into Looker Studio, Power BI, or Tableau for executive dashboards.

A couple of questions would help narrow it down:

• Approximately how many Shopify stores do you manage?
• Are all brands using the same affiliates, or does each brand have its own affiliate program?

If your primary goal is one place to monitor affiliate performance across multiple Shopify brands, the best choice depends on whether you want affiliate management or analytics only.

Here's how I'd break it down:

My recommendation

• 2–5 Shopify brands: UpPromote's Multi-Store feature is probably the closest match if your affiliate programs live inside Shopify. It gives affiliates one login while you see consolidated performance across stores. uppromote.com
• 5–20+ brands with dedicated affiliate managers: Track360 offers more enterprise-style capabilities, especially if brands need different commission models, currencies, or payout schedules. track360.io
• If you're already using multiple affiliate platforms (for example, Impact for one brand and ShareASale for another), I'd skip trying to replace them and instead build a central dashboard in a BI tool that combines data from Shopify plus each affiliate platform.

A couple of questions will narrow the recommendation further:

1. How many Shopify stores are you managing?
2. Which affiliate platform(s) are you using today (UpPromote, Refersion, Impact, PartnerStack, Tapfiliate, Awin, ShareASale, etc.)?

If your primary goal is one dashboard for affiliate performance across multiple Shopify brands, the best choice depends on whether you also want to run the affiliate program or just analyze it.

Here's how I'd break it down:

For someone managing multiple brands, I'd generally recommend:

• If all brands use the same affiliate program: UpPromote is the strongest option because it was built to solve the multi-store affiliate management problem. Affiliates can promote multiple stores without juggling separate accounts, and you get consolidated reporting. uppromote.com
• If each brand uses different affiliate networks (Impact, ShareASale, Awin, CJ, etc.): A business intelligence tool like Looker Studio, Power BI, or Triple Whale (if you're already using it) pulling data from each network often provides a better executive dashboard than any single affiliate app.

A couple of questions would help narrow it down:

1. How many Shopify stores are you managing?
2. Are you using an affiliate app inside Shopify (like UpPromote or Social Snowball), or affiliate networks like Impact, CJ, Awin, or ShareASale?
3. Do you want the dashboard to show only affiliate KPIs (clicks, conversions, commissions, ROAS), or also overall store metrics alongside affiliate performance?

For a multi-brand operator running several Shopify stores, you’ll want something that does more than a normal affiliate app dashboard. The key capability is multi-store affiliate attribution + consolidated reporting (all brands, affiliates, commissions, revenue, and payouts in one view). uppromote.com

A few tools that fit different versions of this use case:

My shortlist based on your wording (“multiple brands” + “affiliate performance across several Shopify stores”):

1. 5+ brands / many affiliates: look at Track360 first. track360.io
2. Mostly Shopify stores with shared affiliates: look at UpPromote multi-store. uppromote.com
3. You already have affiliate tools but lack a CEO dashboard: use a multi-store BI layer like EcomViz and connect affiliate data separately. ecomviz.app

Before choosing, I’d check these specific requirements:

• Can one affiliate account promote Brand A, B, C, etc.?
• Can commissions differ by brand?
• Can you see revenue, orders, EPC, conversion rate, CAC/commission cost across all stores?
• Are payouts consolidated or store-by-store?
• Can you filter by affiliate, brand, product, and campaign?

If you tell me how many Shopify stores you manage (e.g., 3 vs 30) and whether affiliates are shared across brands or separate per brand, I can narrow it to the best fit.

If your primary goal is one dashboard for affiliate performance across multiple Shopify stores and brands, the best choice depends on whether you need affiliate management or cross-store analytics.

Here's how I'd break it down:

My recommendation by business size

• 3–10 Shopify brands: Track360 is probably the closest match if affiliate marketing is a major acquisition channel. It was designed around multi-brand operators rather than single-store merchants. track360.io
• Enterprise or established affiliate program: Refersion is a safe, proven option with extensive Shopify support and automation. apps.shopify.com
• If you already have affiliate software: Keep it, and add a multi-store analytics layer like EcomViz or Ecomsolo so executives can see all brands in one place. apps.shopify.comecomviz.app

A few questions that can affect the recommendation:

• How many Shopify stores do you manage?
• Are all stores under the same Shopify organization/account?
• Do all brands share the same affiliates, or does each brand have its own partner program?
• Do you want to track only affiliate sales, or also paid ads, Klaviyo, and overall store performance in the same dashboard?

Those details will determine whether you need an affiliate platform, a BI layer, or both.
