An alert when your Shopify module is out of date
If your store runs an old version of the Affilae Shopify module, a banner warns you on your dashboard and on your program’s Tracking page. Click See how to update: the update takes a few minutes from your Shopify admin and brings you the latest tracking fixes.
Match AI: filter affiliates by community size
The new Community size filter targets affiliates by their number of followers, with a minimum and a maximum bound. Four tiers are available: Nano (under 10,000), Micro (10,000 to 100,000), Macro (100,000 to 1 million) and Mega (over 1 million). As soon as a bound is set, profiles with an unknown audience are left out of the results.
Your consultant, right in the menu
If your program is supported by the Affilae team, a My consultant card appears in the side menu. It shows your Growth Consultant’s photo and a link to email them.
A conversions export that keeps your filters
The Export conversions button now reuses the filters already applied to the list: period, status, commission rule. You export exactly what you see, without entering anything again.

Documentation one click away
A How does it work? button now sits next to the title of the main pages: dashboard, conversions, reporting, payments, Match AI, promo codes… It opens the help article that matches the page.
Match AI: spot the best partners in your category
New shortcuts highlight the profiles in the top 10% performers over 90 days: Top category and Top similar brands for advertisers, Top category and Similar partners for publishers. You can also sort results by Affinity, Balanced or Revenue.
A handier Payments page
- See the payments of All programs (advertisers) or All profiles (publishers) in a single list.
- Change a payment’s status straight from its row, with the pencil that appears on hover, when that status can be changed.
- If a search returns nothing because a filter hides the payment, a message tells you so and offers View this payment.
- Commission details now shows the Period covered by a payment.
- After a change, the View button in the notification takes you straight to the updated rows.

Match AI: choose who can discover your program
In Configuration, the Match AI Configuration block lets you set your main objectives and the channels you accept. Match AI then only suggests your program to publishers whose type is among those channels.
Match AI: traffic coming from AI assistants
On a web publisher’s card, Match AI shows an estimate of their monthly visits coming from AI assistants, along with the share of their traffic this represents.
An overview by status on the Conversions page
Overview cards at the top of the Conversions page show the number and amount of commissions for each status. Click a card to filter the list on that status. If your conversions are spread across several currencies, a Currency filter appears too.
An alert for long-pending conversions
A banner appears at the top of the app when conversions have been awaiting your validation for more than 60 days. The See my conversions button takes you straight to them: process them so you don’t hold up your affiliates’ payments.
PayPal authorization from a single screen
PayPal payment authorization now lives in Company > Billing profiles, with an Allow PayPal payments switch for each program. You set all your programs in one place.
A more complete affiliates export
The My affiliates export includes new columns: affiliate activity, custom rules, partnership origin and publisher type (company, association, individual or self-employed).
Publishers
Hide your ended partnerships
In Partnerships, tick Hide ended partnerships to declutter your list. Nothing is deleted: your commission history stays intact. This choice is saved in your browser, and you can untick the box at any time.

The total including VAT for your selection
When you tick rows on the Payments page, the selection bar now shows the total Incl. VAT next to the total Excl. VAT.
Advertisers
Enable or disable your creative elements in bulk
In Medias > Ads, tick several elements, then click Edit status to enable or disable them in a single action.
Commission groups that are easy to reorder
In the Commission rules tab, reorder your commission groups by drag and drop. Each group also shows its creation date.
The gap between reporting and payments, explained
A tooltip on the All commissions column of the reporting explains why this amount differs from the one on the Payments page. Reporting also counts commissions still awaiting validation, whereas the Payments page only counts commissions that are already payable.
Publishers
Filter your payments by status family
On the Payments page, filter a whole family of statuses: Available commissions, Pending, Payout processing, Paid or Errors. Click a summary card to display all the rows it adds up.
An estimated payment date
For a payment awaiting the advertiser’s settlement, the payment details show an estimated payment date, based on the program’s average payment delay.
Banner impressions counted correctly
The details window of a creative element now tells you which link to use: the tracked link provided with the banner, not the one from the link generator, which only counts clicks. Your impressions are then tracked correctly.
Your wishlists in the menu
If you have created wishlists, a Wishlists link in the side menu opens your public showcase.
Mobile app
Tracked links created instantly
Creating a tracked link in the app is now almost instant. The product name and image are added automatically a few minutes later.
July 2026
Advertisers and publishers
An improved publisher onboarding
The publisher sign-up journey has been completely redesigned to offer a smoother, smarter and faster experience.
An improved advertiser onboarding
The advertiser sign-up journey has been completely redesigned to be simpler and faster. The platform automatically detects the CMS, TMS or CMP used on your website and recommends the most suitable tracking installation method: fewer errors from the start.
Find the click behind a conversion
In a conversion’s funnel, each click step now shows the Click ID, which you can copy. Paste it into the search on the Clicks page to find the original click.
Advertisers
Track your rejected conversions
Two new indicators appear at the top of the Reporting: Rejected conversions and Rejection rate. Follow their trend on the chart to compare product returns from one period to the next, or hide them from the KPIs category of the customization panel.
Publishers
Individual status: a clear message
For legal reasons, a publisher registered as an individual cannot claim their commissions. A banner now explains this on the Payments page, with an Update my profile button to resolve the situation. On the advertiser side, a tooltip shows the reason for the block.

More detailed statistics thanks to exclusions by affiliate group
A new exclusion filter by affiliate groups (Cashback, Media, etc.) is now available in the statistics, with support for multiple selection. This enhancement makes it easy to isolate or exclude certain types of partners to refine performance analysis and better understand the impact of each lever on your results.
Mobile application
A more customizable notification center
The in-app notification center is evolving to offer each user greater control over their communication preferences. It is now possible to manage incoming notifications (email, push, and in-app) on a channel-by-channel basis. By default, only in-app notifications are enabled, and each user can activate other channels at any time as needed, for a more personalized experience.
May 2026
A faster and more personalized connection
The login page now remembers the last login method used (email/password, SSO, etc.). Each user thus automatically finds their preferred login method on each visit, for smoother and frictionless access to the platform.
April 2026
A new visual identity for Affilae
Affilae has undergone a complete redesign with a new visual identity and a totally revamped design system. Every element of the interface has been reworked to offer a more modern, consistent, and intuitive experience!
Advertisers
Exporting conversions becomes more accurate
Two new columns have been added to conversion exports: Contributor Country and Conversion Country. This allows you to refine your analyses, better understand the origin of your conversions, and leverage even more detailed reports.
Managing multiple billing profiles
Advertisers can now create and manage multiple billing profiles directly from a single account. This enhancement provides greater flexibility in administrative management, particularly for multi-entity structures or organizations requiring separate billing configurations. It allows for easy adaptation of billing information to suit the needs of each context. Advertisers can access this feature via Company > Billing profiles, where they can add a new profile in the dedicated section.
Option to mass blacklist expired promo codes
Advertisers can now blacklist multiple promo codes in a single action, regardless of the partnership involved. This improvement allows for the rapid deactivation of codes on a large scale, giving them greater control over their distribution and preventing unwanted use within active campaigns.
A new type of commission: “Fixed Fees”
Affilae introduces a new commission type, “Fixed Fees”, complementing the existing Conversion and Bonus models. This commission type allows for the recording of fixed amounts while clearly distinguishing them from sales. Fixed fees are excluded from conversion counting in reporting to ensure a more accurate picture of sales performance. They remain, however, included in the overall commission budget, just like bonuses and conversions. The selection is accessible via the Type filter on the Conversions page, where three categories are now available: Conversion, Bonus, and Fixed Fees.
Create your quotes directly from an invoice
Advertisers can now generate a quote from an existing invoice. This development simplifies accounting management by eliminating the need to re-enter information and allows for the direct reuse of existing data to accelerate the creation of new documents.

A clearer identification of your publishers’ status
To simplify partner management, Affilae now displays an “Individual” badge directly on the My Affiliates page. This badge is automatically assigned to French or Belgian publishers who do not have a SIRET/SIREN number or are registered as a sole trader. This allows you to quickly identify profiles that cannot be invoiced, in accordance with current regulations, and manage your campaigns with greater peace of mind.
A higher quality publisher base, automatically
To ensure an ever-improving publisher ecosystem, Affilae now automates the cleanup of inactive accounts. Accounts that have not recorded any logins or conversions for six consecutive months are automatically removed from the platform. Before any deletion, the publishers concerned receive two reminder notifications (30 days and then 15 days prior) giving them the opportunity to reactivate their account.
Fully customizable UTM parameters
Advertisers can now customize their UTM fields using dynamic parameters directly within Affilae. This development offers greater flexibility in constructing tracking URLs and allows UTM parameters to be automatically adapted to the needs of each campaign, for more precise tracking that is seamlessly integrated with your analytics tools.
Publishers
More relevant reporting right from the start
To facilitate performance analysis, publishers now see, by default, only advertisers with whom they have a validated partnership in the Reporting section. This new view provides immediate access to active programs and truly useful data, without the need to manually apply filters.
February 2026
Advertisers
Validate your affiliates in bulk, with a single click
The My Affiliates tab now allows you to select multiple profiles simultaneously to accept, reject, or block them in a single action. This improvement builds upon existing features while eliminating the need for line-by-line processing, resulting in faster and more efficient management of your affiliate requests.
Mobile application
Shoppable multi-product post
Brand Search has been updated to allow for the continuous selection of multiple products, without redirecting you to the creation screen each time you add one. Selected products are now grouped in a dedicated list, which you can access at any time to finalize your multi-product shoppable posts more smoothly, without having to navigate back and forth within the interface.
January 2026
Advertisers
Better organized notifications to get straight to the point
To simplify daily monitoring, notifications are now grouped by day and by program. This new organization allows for faster access to key alerts for each program in a centralized view, and for smoother information processing without wasting time in the notification stream.
A smoother and more intuitive product flow management system
The Product Feeds interface has been simplified to make configuring your catalogs easier to read and quicker to learn. Navigation paths have been streamlined and text clarified to facilitate understanding of the different steps. In case of an issue, more explicit error messages allow you to immediately identify the source of the problem and correct it without contacting technical support.
Clearer and better-aligned reporting indicators
To eliminate any ambiguity between set budgets and actual performance, the reporting indicators have been clarified and harmonized. CPC is now Calculated CPC, and CPV is renamed CPA, to provide a more consistent and immediately understandable view of your costs and performance.
Compliance completed (DAC7)
The mandatory transmission of your tax data for the year 2025 has been successfully completed with the State services.
