Refersion: Affiliate Tracking reviews
Great app with a great support team. Thanks to Emma I was able to get a few redirection problems fixed! :)
Sergio is by far one of the most helpful customer service I've spoken with! Every time when I had questions, especially at the time when I had problem installing the PayPal, Sergio was always so patience answering my questions and walked me through step by step on how to fix my issues.
The app is not super user-friendly BUT customer service is awesome and quick. Emma helped me set up everything properly in 5 minutes. Actually more simple then it looks like. So give them a quick call and everything will go well!
The setup was incredibly easy. I had a question to finalize the site so I sent in a request. Emma responded quickly and got it answered!
5 star app and 5 star service!
Keep it up guys!
One Love,
Big Marv
We have been using Refersion for just over (3) weeks and very pleased. Sergio and everyone else provides fantastic email and phone support.
The onboarding process is fast and easy with a lot of videos and a simple step-by-step to do list.
Try it you will love it.
Warm Regards,

I started using refersion and ran into a couple of issues and contacted customer support and spoke with a gentleman named Sergio. Sergio is by far one of the most helpful customer service representatives I've spoken with, he walked me through step by step on how to fix my issues and knew exactly what he was doing . Definitely has a great sense of humor and made things easy for me! Thanks man!
Just started to use refersion and so far very happy with the app. Customer service is great, very quick and very helpful. Emma is a superstar :)
If you are in a business that does well for affiliate marketing than great. This app brought in no sales over 7 months. Also, they need to make it easier to cancel. I tried to cancel and went into their dashboard and there was no option. I had to reach out to them and Shopify to figure out if I deleted the app would it stop charging me. They need to make this clear to customers.
Refersion makes your affiliate program so easy to set up! Erik is great and super responsive. Thanks, Erik!
Underwhelmed and unimpressed. Two days for test purchases to show up in the dashboard when they say it should be an hour at most. Lackluster and flip responses to support requests. On the getting started webinar (where the leader seemed distracted, confused and took such long pauses between thoughts we thought the screen had froze except for the loud background noise) -- he had no insights or help to offer participants in the Q&A. Moreover, he began answering questions and then immediately lost his train of thought every time a new one popped up in the chat field. Just really unprofessional at every step of this process.
When participants asked about similar problems they were having he said their order volume (or something to that effect) was slowing down their product. Again, very blasé and not very confidence inducing.
I'd been waiting for this product to work as I have several influencers in multiple countries and time zones wanting to be affiliates. I went to upgrade after realizing they force you to in order to be able to create a coupon code. I agreed to the upgrade price but when I go to use it, it says I still need to upgrade and round and round in circles. The support response was that it sometimes takes a while and "sorry."
If you're in a hurry to get your affiliate program up and running, you will be disappointed here. I am an affiliate for another company that also uses Refersion and it's been a headache (missing referral links in dashboard, etc) from that perspective, too.
They also need to cutback on the constant canned emails if the live support and product is so incredibly lackluster.
I'll submit another review if this actually works without so much lag time for set up.
