Sprusify

Onboarding & Setup

This page provides a practical checklist and step-by-step guidance for store owners to configure Sprusify for production.

Initial checklist

  • Connect Sprusify to your Shopify store and confirm required scopes (orders, products, discounts, webhooks).
  • Configure currency and timezone to match Shopify settings.
  • Connect a payment processor (Stripe Connect) if you intend to automate payouts.

Brand and portal setup

  • Upload your store logo and set colors to match your storefront.
  • Customize signup and welcome emails so affiliates receive a branded experience.

Commission defaults & referral window

  • Set a default commission model (percentage or fixed) and a referral window (e.g., 30 days).
  • Decide whether commissions calculate on pre- or post-discount totals.

Verification & payout policies

  • Configure KYC thresholds and any manual review steps for high payout requests.
  • Set minimum payout thresholds and payout cadence (weekly/monthly/manual).

Testing before launch

  • Create a test affiliate, generate a tracking link or coupon, and place a test order to verify attribution and payout records.
  • Use the Orders → Sync Now feature to reconcile any test discrepancies.

Launch communications

  • Share onboarding materials, creatives, and program rules with initial affiliates.
  • Provide a knowledge base link and support contact for frequently asked questions.

Developer notes

  • For local development, use a tunnel (ngrok) so Shopify can reach your webhook endpoints and OAuth callbacks.

Following this checklist reduces painful surprises at launch and improves affiliate confidence. Theme & checkout integration

  • Sprusify injects a post-checkout script to capture conversions. Verify the script is present under Online Store > Themes > Edit code or in Shopify’s Script Tags.

Webhooks & API keys

  • Configure webhook endpoints (Admin > Settings > Webhooks) for order.created, order.paid, and refund.created.
  • Create API keys for integrations and store them securely.

Policies & payouts

  • Set commission rules, payout thresholds, and the dispute resolution policy before inviting affiliates.

Onboarding tips

  • Start with a pilot campaign and a small group of affiliates to validate tracking and payouts.
  • Use test orders to ensure end-to-end attribution and payout flows work as expected.
