Club vs Refersion:
A full community, not just an affiliate tracker.
Refersion is a clean, simple affiliate tracking tool built for Shopify brands. Club combines affiliate tracking with a full ambassador community: missions, UGC, social posts, and rewards: so your programme drives more than just clicks.
Affiliate tracking alone vs the full ambassador stack.
Why DTC brands move from Refersion to Club
Refersion tracks. Club activates.
Refersion tells you which affiliate made which sale. Club does that plus engages your ambassadors daily: missions, UGC briefs, social challenges, leaderboards, and rewards that keep your community active and motivated.
Your affiliates become a community
Refersion's affiliates work in isolation: they have a link, they share it, they get paid. Club builds a community around your brand where ambassadors compete, collaborate, and grow more engaged over time.
More touchpoints = more revenue
Affiliate links drive purchase-intent traffic. Club ambassadors also generate UGC, post on social, write reviews, and refer friends: creating multiple revenue touchpoints, not just one link.

UGC at scale, on autopilot
