Nothing in a Shopify order records who referred it. The two fields that sound as though they might, the landing page and the referring site, describe the session rather than a person, and neither carries an identity that survives. So every app in this category invents its own attribution and writes the answer onto the order afterwards, as a tag, a note attribute or a metafield.

There are only two substrates to build that on, and Shopify's own creator product uses the same pair as everyone else: a tracking link, or a discount code minted per affiliate. They fail in opposite directions. A code is durable and works across devices, but it leaks to coupon sites, where strangers collect commission on sales they had no part in. A link attributes precisely, right up until someone clears their cookies, switches device or blocks the script.

What to look for in a Ambassador app

Which mechanism, and what it does when that mechanism fails: Nearly every listing advertises fraud protection, which in this category almost always means code leaking. Ask what it does concretely: refuse the commission, alert you, rotate the code? "Fraud protection" as a bullet point tells you the vendor knows the problem exists, not that they have solved it.
How the money actually leaves: Most of these pay affiliates through a third-party payment service you connect yourself, which means another account, another balance to keep funded and another set of fees. Shopify's own option instead settles through your Shopify bill. Neither is better, but they are very different to operate, so decide which one your bookkeeping wants.
Where the referral is recorded on the order: Order tags are a single list that is replaced wholesale when written, so an app that stores attribution there can quietly overwrite tags something else was relying on. Note attributes and metafields do not have that problem. It also decides what you can still see about past sales after the app is gone.
How many affiliates you expect: A programme that mints one discount code per affiliate is doing bulk code creation, and that is rate-shaped work: capped per request, one job at a time. For a few dozen partners it is invisible. For thousands, ask how long onboarding a batch actually takes.

What does the Built for Shopify badge mean?

Built for Shopify
Built for Shopify is the highest level of recognition Shopify awards an app. To earn the badge, an app must meet Shopify's standards for safety, performance, ease of use, and proven usefulness: it cannot slow down the admin, storefront, or checkout, must integrate seamlessly into the Shopify admin, and must demonstrate quality through installs, reviews, and ratings over time. When comparing similar apps, preferring ones with the badge is a safe default. Learn more about the Built for Shopify badge →
