When teams switch

The commission grows with your success, fraud flags don't explain themselves, and the product is built for ecommerce only.

The commission on referral sales now costs more than the software.

You want to know why a referral was flagged, not just that it was.

You're expanding beyond ecommerce into services or B2B.

AdvocatePilot difference

Where AdvocatePilot is different

AdvocatePilot is strongest once the program is live and real money is involved: which referrals are genuine, which rewards to approve or hold, and what finance needs exported at the end of the month.

Flat monthly price with no commission on your referral sales.

Every flagged referral lists the exact signals that tripped it.

Works for services and B2B, not only online stores.

Migration plan

Model what the commission costs you at current volume, then bring your advocate list over as a CSV and keep the same reward.

1

Export

Pull your advocate list out of the current tool as a CSV.

2

Rebuild

Recreate the campaign and reward terms your customers already know.

3

Invite

Send every advocate their new personal portal link.

4

Run

Work referrals through the pipeline and approve rewards from the queue.
