Black Sands review for UpPromote Affiliate Marketing

Hi Black Sands, First of all, we are sorry for your unhappy experience. We've checked our database and saw that you have over 800 affiliates in total and 756 affiliates that are generated from Convert customer feature (most of their accounts are automatically created because they sign up on your shop) while other 55 affiliates are not customers. When you enable Convert customer feature, we believe that you want to turn your customer to affiliate and keep them as loyal customers. The fact that the affiliate can buy from their own link can help to keep them as your customer, but if you find that is unfair, we will add a setting to select if affiliate can buy from their own link or not. After scanning the database, we see that just within 15 days, you have got a pretty big number of organic affiliates and they DID GENERATE referral orders for your store, so in our opinion, your system is running smoothly and could bring success in long-term. However, as an app developer, we always want to support our merchant to use the app in the most effective way, in your case, if you use Convert customer feature, I recommend you use a combination of several features in order to bring the most success: 1. Create another program for your converted customer and offer a lower commission rate for them. 2. Set Store credit as a payment method so your customers can get store coupons to keep buying on your shop instead of getting direct money. 3. You should disable Convert sign-up customer feature if you find it unhelpful. On our side, we will definitely launch more features support you as well as other merchants better: 1. Add settings to allow/forbid affiliates buying from their own link 2.Add setting to setup payment method for each program (so your converted customers can only be paid in Store credit) Since you use our paid plan from 6/1/2020, your trial days is over and you will be charged next month, but we are ready to refund your money for this month and offer you another month using the app free so you can try it out more to see if it actually works. Hope with my suggestion and my offer above, I sincerely hope you can give our app another chance.
