Store-platform business decision
Shopify and WooCommerce differ in deployment and ongoing maintenance models; the relevant choice depends on the seller’s technical capacity, required plugins and ownership expectations.
Choose based on the actual workflow
Prioritize a hosted workflow when the business needs one operating environment; evaluate a plugin-based route when customization and self-management are essential.
Terms requiring current confirmation
Check which entity or product the referral actually covers; do not assume the two have identical cash affiliate programs.

Compare the payout model
Check whether the program pays a one-time amount, a percentage, or a recurring commission. Match the model to the audience and content you publish.
Check attribution terms
Cookie duration and network tracking affect whether a referral can be credited. Confirm current terms on the official advertiser page before applying.
Evaluate audience fit
A higher headline commission is not always the best option. Product relevance, price, geography and conversion intent matter too.
