Affiliates is Live: Track Where Your Orders Are Coming From

One of the most common questions we hear from Catlog store owners and business owners in general is: “How do I know what’s driving my sales?”

If you’re promoting your store in multiple places like Instagram, WhatsApp, Twitter, or even through other people, it’s probably been really hard to tell which one is actually working… until now.

We just launched Affiliates: a new way to track exactly where your orders are coming from.

Whether it’s a person (like an influencer or team member), or a platform (like a WhatsApp group or ad), Catlog gives you a clear breakdown of which channels are bringing in the most ordersand which ones are underperforming.

Instead of wondering if that promo worked or if your ad spend was worth it, you can now use affiliate links to:

Track how many orders each source brings
See how many new customers come through each affiliate
Spot your top performers at a glance

And if you want to reward them with a commission or bonus? That’s totally up to you.

How It Works

Step 1: Head to your dashboard and click “Affiliates”

Step 2: Create a new affiliate link

You’ll choose whether it’s for a person or a platform/campaign.

Step 3: Share the link

Once you generate the link, copy and share it anywhere — your WhatsApp, bio, ads, with a collaborator, etc.

Each link leads to your Catlog store.

Step 4: Track performance in your dashboard

You’ll see:

Number of orders per affiliate
Total new customers
Your top affiliate
And overall affiliate-generated orders
