Refersion is neither an affiliate network nor a CPA network in the classic sense. It’s a SaaS platform for companies that want to launch their own affiliate program.
What makes it different: on Refersion you don’t look for offers. You register as an affiliate of a specific brand that uses Refersion for tracking and payouts.
Who uses Refersion: Shopify merchants, DTC brands, physical goods manufacturers. Notable brands on Refersion: MVMT Watches, Blenders Eyewear, Bouqs, Purple Mattress.
How to become an affiliate:
- Find a brand that uses Refersion
- Apply through the brand’s portal
- Pass moderation (each brand decides independently)
- Get your links and start promoting
Commissions: set by the brand. Average rates:
- Physical goods: 10-25%

Pros: many DTC brands, recurring commissions, user-friendly dashboard. Cons: no unified offer database, you need to find brands manually, all applications are reviewed separately.
