An affiliate recruitment landing page for DECKO Australia, running on UpPromote. Affiliates earn 7 percent per sale, customers get a 3 percent discount, 30 day cookie window, monthly payouts.

Built natively on Shopify with a live earnings calculator.

The problem

What was in the way

Affiliate recruitment competes with every other program a potential affiliate could join.

The offer has to be legible in seconds, and the earnings have to feel real rather than theoretical. A percentage on its own means nothing. Seven percent sounds small until you know the average order value.

That is the specific problem here. DECKO order values run from $1,000 to $10,000-plus, which makes 7 percent a genuinely good rate, and the page has to make that obvious immediately.

What I built

Five parts, each with a reason

Offer-led opening

7 percent per sale, typical order values stated, a 3 percent customer discount and a 30 day cookie, all above the fold.

The order value leads rather than the percentage, because the order value is the actual selling point.

Registration form feeding UpPromote

Business details, ABN, social channels and payment method, submitted straight into the UpPromote affiliate platform.

The fields are chosen for approval triage. Social channels indicate reach. ABN indicates whether they can be paid as a business. Neither is there for completeness.

Interactive earnings calculator

Estimates monthly income from referred order volume and average order value.

This is the element that converts. It turns an abstract percentage into a number the affiliate cares about, calculated with their own assumptions rather than a marketing example. An affiliate who has typed their own numbers into a calculator has already started imagining the income.

Four step join flow

Apply, get approved, get your link, get paid. Stated before the form, so an applicant knows the full path rather than committing to an unknown process.

FAQ on the three things affiliates check

Eligibility, payout timing and tracking. In that order, because that is the order in which a prospective affiliate loses confidence.

Tracking is the one that matters most. Affiliates have been burned by programs where attribution quietly failed, so stating the cookie window and the attribution model plainly is a trust signal.

How it was built

The engineering underneath

No landing appCustom Liquid and JavaScript on Shopify: integrate the platform, own the conversion surface

Custom Liquid and JavaScript on Shopify, tied into UpPromote. No landing page app.

UpPromote handles the affiliate mechanics: link generation, attribution, commission tracking and payouts. It is a mature platform and rebuilding any of that would be indefensible.

The build is the recruitment layer on top: the offer presentation, the calculator, the qualifying form and the handoff. That split is deliberate. Integrate the platform for the mechanics, own the conversion surface.

The calculator runs client side with no request, so it responds as the affiliate types. A calculator that posts to a server and waits is a calculator nobody finishes using.

Why it matters for your project

I build software, and I measure whether it works.

The same questions I research are the ones I ask on client builds: is it reliable, is it fast, is it easy to use, and is it secure. Those four drove satisfaction in my ICT portal study, and they shape how I scope and test every project.
