About

Leading e-commerce-focused affiliate marketing platform for SMB and mid-market brands

Refersion is a comprehensive affiliate and influencer marketing platform designed specifically for e-commerce businesses. The platform enables brands to create, track, and manage affiliate and influencer partnerships through automated tracking, commission management, and performance analytics. Refersion integrates directly with major e-commerce platforms like Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, and Magento, making it particularly popular among direct-to-consumer brands looking to scale their partnership marketing efforts. The company operates as a subsidiary of Pantastic, which acquired Refersion to expand its portfolio of e-commerce marketing solutions. Refersion continues to serve thousands of e-commerce brands, from emerging DTC companies to established retailers, providing them with tools to recruit affiliates, track conversions across multiple channels, automate commission payments, and gain insights into partnership performance. The platform's focus on e-commerce-specific needs, including support for subscription products and multi-currency transactions, has positioned it as a specialized solution in the affiliate marketing technology space. As part of the broader affiliate marketing ecosystem, Refersion competes in a market that bridges traditional AdTech with influencer marketing and partnership commerce. The platform's emphasis on ease of use, native e-commerce integrations, and transparent tracking has made it a popular choice for brands seeking to diversify their customer acquisition channels beyond paid advertising.
