Common questions

Can I use Importify for affiliate marketing?

Short answer

No. Importify imports products into your store for dropshipping. It does not generate affiliate links, track referral clicks, or calculate commissions. Use the Importify affiliate program only if you want to refer merchants to Importify.

Use Importify when you want to import products into your own store and sell them directly. It is not an affiliate-link builder, affiliate tracker, or commission tool.

Importify is built for dropshipping workflows. It imports product details, images, variants, descriptions, and pricing from supported supplier pages into your connected store. You review the listing, edit it, set your price, and sell the product through your own checkout.

Affiliate marketing works differently. You send shoppers to another merchant through a tracked link, and that merchant pays you a commission when the referral qualifies. Importify does not create those links, track those clicks, or calculate those commissions.

Know which affiliate workflow you mean

There are two common questions behind this page. They sound similar, but the answer is different.

If you want to build an affiliate product store: Importify is not the right tool for the affiliate-link part. You can use Importify for products you plan to sell through your own store, but it will not turn supplier products into affiliate links or redirect shoppers to supplier pages with tracking parameters.

If you want to promote Importify: use Importify's own affiliate program. That program is for referring merchants to Importify, not for importing supplier products into your store. You get your affiliate link from the affiliate program, then promote Importify through your own content, community, emails, or site.

Honest note

If your business model depends on affiliate commissions instead of product margins, Importify is not the tool that manages the commission side. Keep the two workflows separate.

What you can still do in your store

You can run a store that uses more than one business model. For example, you might use Importify for products you sell directly, then manage separate affiliate links through your store platform, theme, app, or affiliate network.

That setup happens outside Importify. Check your store platform rules, the affiliate program terms, and any disclosure requirements before you add affiliate links to product pages or content. If you are comparing the business models first, read what dropshipping is before you decide which workflow fits your store.
