Shopmycode vs Flipkart Affiliate — which fits what you are doing?
Flipkart Affiliate is Flipkart's own programme: creators and deal groups link to Flipkart products and earn a commission on orders, reported and paid by Flipkart. Shopmycode is a live referral platform for any link where brands fund results and marketers are paid as they happen. Here is how the two differ, point by point.
Flipkart Affiliate
- Stores and programs on the Flipkart Affiliate network
- Clicks and validated conversions in reports
- After the store validates, typically monthly cycles
- Commission plus the network's share
Shopmycode
- Any link — your site, your app, marketplaces, a poster
- Live people: platform, city, page they are on, journey
- The moment a result is counted, from a budget the brand locked
- Reward you set + 15% fee, shown per result
Point by point
Where each one works, what you see, when money moves, what it costs, and how they sit together.
Where each one works
Flipkart Affiliate, like other networks, works for the stores and programmes on the network: you link to their pages and the network reports what the store validates. Shopmycode tracks any link — your own site, an app, a marketplace listing, a poster — and brands publish offers of their own on it, so it covers the programmes networks carry and everything they do not.
What you can see
A network report typically shows clicks and validated conversions, updated on the network's schedule. Shopmycode shows people: each open with the platform it came from and the city, who is on the page right now and which page, a forwarding estimate for chats, and each result the moment it is counted.
When money moves
On a network, the marketer is paid after the store validates the order and the network runs its cycle, which is usually measured in weeks. On Shopmycode a brand's offer pays the reward into the marketer's wallet the moment the result is counted, from a budget the brand locked before the campaign started. Marketplace orders still arrive on the marketplace's timeline; the platform tells you which is which.
What it costs a brand
Networks charge the brand a commission plus the network's own share, agreed in the programme. On Shopmycode the brand sets a reward, the platform adds 15%, and both come from the locked budget; the subscription for funded campaigns is ₹4,999 + GST a year and link tracking is free.
What it costs a marketer
Networks are free to join and take their share from the commission before you see it. Shopmycode is free for life for marketers and you keep 100% of the stated reward; the brand pays the platform's fee separately.
Disputes and trust
With a network, a marketer's report and a store's report can disagree, and the network mediates. On Shopmycode brand and marketer read one record: the same opens, the same results, the same reversals with reasons. There is much less to dispute.
Using both
Most marketers keep their Flipkart Affiliate account for the store programmes it carries and add Shopmycode for live numbers on every link and for direct brand offers. There is no conflict; they measure different things.
Where Shopmycode differs most from Flipkart Affiliate
Flipkart's programme pays for Flipkart orders on Flipkart's schedule. Shopmycode gives the same creators and deal groups live numbers per link, other stores and brands in one place, and rewards credited as results are counted.
