How to Add Affiliate Products to Shopify (The Best Shopify App For Building a Marketplace)
Shopify for affiliate marketing? As an affiliate marketer, and marketplace marketer who loves and uses Woocommerce, I’ve learned the hard way that Shopify isn’t quite as friendly to the sort of affiliate links I like to use.
CORE CONCEPT:
If you want to build a REAL marketplace, with professional peers, niche neighbors and offer real products and services that your audience will use, buy, love and share, being able to add EXTERNAL links to your shopify store is super important
The “Workaround” I’m not using: (and neither should you)
YES, you can bulk add thousands of products using OBERLO and similar apps from China and elsewhere, but that isn’t the sort of store I want to build.
The solution:
The OUTLINK app for Shopify makes this easy — and the guy who owns/runs/manages the app — is a rock star as well. (fast, friendly and super helpful — even after I sent an urgent help request — because I neglected to follow the directions — which is the story of my life :)
Shopify is awesome — and so too is Outlink.
Get a Shopify trial below — and if selling affiliate products in the more carefully curated marketplace model appeals is your focus (as it is mine) — def install outlink to make your life super smooth.
