impact.com Affiliate Marketing

I have never had an issue with Impact before. They have always been really great but this situation is beyond frustrating. I had an old legacy account that Impact no longer services and was told I needed to shut down that account. After the holidays we began the shut down and spoke with someone about having a new account within shopify. Well 4 weeks later Impact have not closed our legacy account ...

I knew I made a mistake when the Impact team offered me a $100 gift card to provide a 5 star review immediately after I signed a 1 year contract. The Impact app and portal were not even set up yet for my store. Then I would learn that Impact would not provide any case studies or best practices with me. I only learned much later from agencies that started pitching me their affiliate management ...

Impact was very responsive and proactive during the contract signing and implementation stages. However, after using the service for over a month, I changed my mind. Once the contract is signed, Impact doesn't seem to care about its customers. I raised a minor issue with email synchronization a month ago and asked Impact to resolve it, but it remains unresolved until now.

Overpriced. They lock you into 12 month contracts. Low quality affiliates in their marketplace. We started getting fraudulent orders for the first time in 6 years after signing up. I think if you're a large brand simply looking for a way to manage your existing affiliate payments, this would be adequate software, but you could certainly find a cheaper alternative on the Shopify app store if that' ...

I can see that affiliates are not happy with the app based on Trustpilot reviews . Let me share advertisers' perspective.
They use covert fees that advertisers must pay for slot fees with publishers, which is basically a legal way of taking money from your account for literally nothing. When an advertiser gets 10 contracts a day from so called publishers they allocate 1000s of dollars to the ...

Where do we start? At $500/month, we were disappointed that they seem to enable fraudulent orders and payouts. They allowed an affiliate to get $5980 on fraudulent orders, not one of them was a valid order and the order was placed in a foreign currency. They blamed it on our system (which we do not believe since they did our onboarding).

The lack of customer service was surprising, considering ...

I was not going to write this review however it seems to be the only way that I can get your attention. I requested this account be closed on February 1st 2024. You guys refuse to close the account, and you are still trying to charge my account (March 15th) for the second time. I demand that this account be closed TODAY! I will be awaiting your response (yet again).

I will never work with them again. We had a ton of fraud orders costing us thousands of dollars and for months they said the money would be refunded and they have never sent the money. In the meantime, we cancelled our account and yet they KEEP BILLING US. We provided email notice - they say, you must submitted a formal ticket to close the account. This is a month after we sent them notice.

very confusing don't even know where to go from here even though it looks like ive completed all the steps

I've been using it for about 1.5 - 2 months, here's my realistic experience
1- Yes, some people apply to you for affiliate marketing, but the incoming traffic is 15 times a day.
2- As there was no sale, there was not even a cart addition.
3- Even though there was a $30 fee, they took $150 off my credit card for 1.5 months. I was not consulted. What do you say to those who make more money than you ...
