The Challenge

E-commerce brands running affiliate programs were dealing with clunky tools that made onboarding affiliates painful, tracking commissions unreliable, and managing payouts manual. Most existing solutions were desktop-only, which was a problem since affiliates often check their earnings and share links from their phones. The platform needed to integrate natively with Shopify and handle everything from affiliate recruitment to automated payouts.

What I Built

I led the entire product lifecycle from specification through deployment, building a React frontend with a Nest.js backend.

Three Dedicated Dashboards

Each user type gets an interface built for their workflow. Affiliates see their performance metrics, earnings, and referral links in a mobile-optimized dashboard. Brands manage campaigns, track conversions, and handle affiliate approvals. Admins oversee the entire platform with user management and system-level analytics.

Automated Commission Engine

When a customer uses an affiliate's discount code on Shopify, the system automatically calculates the commission based on the campaign's rules — supporting percentage-based, fixed-amount, and tiered commission structures. Commissions flow through to automated Stripe payouts on a configurable schedule.

Shopify Integration

The app connects directly to Shopify stores, syncing products and orders in real time through webhooks. This means brands don't need to manually import data or reconcile orders — everything stays in sync automatically. Getting through the Shopify App Store review and approval process required careful attention to their integration standards.

Campaign Management

Brands create campaigns with dynamic discount codes, set commission rates, and assign affiliates. The analytics layer tracks click-through rates, conversion rates, and ROI per campaign, giving brands the data they need to optimize their programs.

Technical Highlights

The Shopify webhook integration handles high-volume event processing with retry mechanisms and rate limiting to stay within API constraints. Cron jobs run automated processes like payout scheduling and performance report generation. Sentry provides error tracking and performance monitoring in production. The mobile-first approach resulted in a 90+ Lighthouse performance score across all dashboards.

Impact

The platform successfully launched on the Shopify App Store, giving e-commerce brands a complete affiliate management solution with 100% accurate automated commission tracking. The mobile-first design drove strong affiliate engagement, and the automated payout system eliminated the manual payment processing that was previously eating up hours of admin time each month.
