Is Refersion good for dog brands?

Refersion works well if your primary goal is running a Shopify-based affiliate program — tracking commissions, managing promo codes, and automating payouts. For dog brands wanting influencer campaigns with breed-matched creators, dog sizing data for sendouts, and post-level attribution, Refersion lacks the tools. It is affiliate infrastructure, not influencer marketing.

How does Refersion pricing compare to Dogfluence?

Refersion starts at around $99/month for their Professional plan, scaling to $299/month for Business. Dogfluence starts at $199/month. The key difference is what you get: Refersion is affiliate tracking software; Dogfluence is a dog-niche influencer platform with breed filtering, dog sizing data, and Brand Trail. They solve different problems.

What is the difference between affiliate marketing and ambassador program management?

Affiliate marketing (Refersion's model) focuses on commission-based performance — creators earn a percentage of sales via unique links or promo codes. Ambassador program management (Dogfluence's model) focuses on ongoing creator relationships — content briefing, contribution tracking, and performance-based creator rotation. Dog brands wanting authentic creator partnerships typically need the ambassador model, not just commission tracking.

Does Refersion have dog breed filtering?

No. Refersion is a general-purpose affiliate tracking platform. There is no breed, pet, or niche-level filtering for creator discovery. Dogfluence is the only platform with breed-level creator matching and dog sizing data built in.

What is Brand Trail and does Refersion have it?

Brand Trail is Dogfluence's performance-based ambassador system — brands dynamically swap creators based on contribution quality over time, automatically optimizing their creator roster. Refersion manages affiliate rosters manually. There is no equivalent to Brand Trail in Refersion.

Can I use Refersion and Dogfluence together?

Yes. They serve different purposes. Some dog brands use Refersion for affiliate commission tracking (discount codes for returning customers, referral partners) while using Dogfluence for their active influencer campaigns. Refersion handles the affiliate side; Dogfluence handles the creator ambassador side.

Who should choose Refersion over Dogfluence?

Brands whose primary marketing channel is an affiliate program built around commission payouts, promo codes, and Shopify or BigCommerce integration. If your goal is running a performance-based affiliate network rather than a dog influencer program, Refersion is the right tool. For dog brands wanting creator campaigns with niche precision, dog sizing data, and post-level attribution, Dogfluence is the better fit.
