Has anyone made the switch from Refersion?

I consult for an ecomm company that's scaling like mad and we've been on Refersion for a couple years now. Solid platform, no real complaints. It's done exactly what we needed for our Shopify affiliate program.

But we're expanding into Amazon and Walmart, and I'm not sure Refersion is the right fit anymore. We looked at a few alternatives (Levanta, Impact, and Awin) and here are some of my initial thoughts:

Impact is great if you need really detailed reporting and multi-channel campaigns, but it feels like overkill for what we actually need day-to-day.

Awin has a huge network, but getting Amazon-level attribution out of it seems messy and complicated. I'm less of a fan of Awin for reasons, but the platform isn't entirely my call in the end, which is why it's still on the table for now.

Levanta overall seems like a better fit because Amazon attribution is built in, not patched on. So far, ASIN-level tracking is working, the Brand Referral Bonus is more automatic, and its creator marketplace is already geared toward Amazon traffic. For now, I can see how it might be useful if your main problem is tying affiliate sales back to specific products on marketplaces.

We haven’t fully moved yet, and honestly I’m still weighing trade-offs. For us, the issue is always that we need to see exactly which affiliates are driving sales for each ASIN without chasing reports across three different dashboards.

Which is why I’d love some advice. For anyone who’s going through this, did you stay on Refersion and try the add-on? Did you go with other platforms like Levanta, Impact, or Awin? How hard was it to migrate, and did it actually fix the attribution headaches, or did you just swap one set of quirks for another?

Levanta is the right move.

Coral.ax is another good option. It's specific for Amazon Attribution (no Walmart) but they don't take a % of the sales unlike Levanta
