One of the most common questions business owners ask is:
“What’s actually driving my sales?”
If you promote your store across Instagram, WhatsApp, Twitter, ads, or through other people, it’s usually hard to tell which one is working. That changes today.
What’s New
We’ve launched Affiliate Links on Catlog — a simple way to track where your orders and customers are coming from.
Affiliates can be:
A person (influencer, team member, partner)
A platform or campaign (Instagram bio, WhatsApp broadcast, ads, email, etc.)
Each affiliate gets a unique link that leads to your Catlog store. When customers place orders through that link, Catlog tracks it automatically.
What You Can Track
With affiliate links, you can now:
See how many orders each source brings
Track new customers per affiliate
Identify your top-performing channels at a glance
Understand which promotions are worth repeating
If you want to reward affiliates with commissions or bonuses, that’s entirely up to you.
How Affiliates Work
Step 1: Open Affiliates
On web: Go to your dashboard and click Affiliates
On mobile: Open the side navigation and tap Affiliates
Step 2: Create an affiliate link
Choose whether the affiliate is:
A person
Or a platform / campaign
Give it a name so you can easily recognise it later.
Step 3: Share the link
Copy the generated link and share it anywhere:
WhatsApp
Instagram bio or stories
Ads
With collaborators or influencers
Each link leads directly to your Catlog store.
Step 4: Track performance
In your dashboard, you’ll see:
Orders per affiliate
New customers per affiliate
Your top-performing affiliate
Total orders generated from affiliates
Example
Nneka runs an online bag store.
She promotes her Catlog store through:
WhatsApp broadcasts
Her Instagram bio
A promo post from her cousin (an influencer)
With affiliate links, she creates:
One link for WhatsApp
One for Instagram
One for her cousin
After a week, she checks her dashboard and sees:
WhatsApp brought in 4 orders
Instagram brought 1 order
Her cousin’s post brought 13 orders and 9 new customers
Now she knows exactly what worked, who to thank, and what to repeat next time.
