Switching

Switching from Social Snowball

Bring your partners over from a spreadsheet: any file with a header row works, and column names are recognized as they come. You see every line before anything is imported, and any line that can't come across is named.

  • Partners' coupon codes come across as they are
  • Partners’ referral links in your export come across too, and one that goes straight to your site keeps crediting the same partner
  • What you already paid stays labeled as Social Snowball's figure, so nobody is paid twice
  • What you still owe can become an opening balance, and waits for your approval
  • A shadow run: while Social Snowball keeps paying, Refficks works out what it would have paid and compares the two every morning, partner by partner
  • Exactly one system pays: each sale belongs to whichever side of the switch its money changed hands on
