Not affiliates and shoppers.
A team.
Brands build a team, athletes earn on every sale they drive, and members earn XP and rewards for showing up.
One team. It all comes back around.
Every brand on Boomerang builds a team of athletes and members. They sell, show up and level up, and the best members become athletes.

And around it goes: a bigger team, more members, more sales.
More than a transaction. A team that grows with you.
Affiliate apps stop at the sale. Boomerang is where your athletes and your community actually live.
| Other affiliate apps | Boomerang | |
|---|---|---|
| What athletes get | Affiliates get a code and a cut. | Athletes get a page, briefs, free gear, a direct line to your team, and commission. |
| What keeps them going | Affiliates stay for the next payout. | Athletes stay for weekly payouts and medals, Bronze to Podium, that unlock bigger rewards. |
| Your members | Customers are just shoppers with a code. | Members join a community with challenges and levels, Warm-up to Contender. |
| Who becomes an athlete | Anyone who applies gets a code. | Only vetted athletes, plus members who earn their spot. |
| Content | Content is whatever they post. | Content follows your briefs, gets approved, and runs as ads under their handle. |
| Tracking and payouts | Tracking is automatic, but sales slip through and refunds still pay out. | Every order is matched by link or code. Refunds reverse on their own. Paid weekly. |
| Cost | Monthly fees or a cut of your sales. | Free for a limited time. You only pay the commission you set. |
The sale matters. The people behind it matter more.

How is Boomerang different from an affiliate app?
Affiliate apps give athletes a code and a cut. Boomerang gives brands the whole program: athlete pages, briefs, gear, ads, a community with levels, and commission matched to real orders. Athletes and members grow with the brand instead of just selling for it.
How do medals and levels work?
Athletes earn XP for sales, approved videos and finished briefs and climb Bronze, Silver, Gold and Podium. Community members earn XP for challenges, check-ins and referrals and climb Warm-up to Contender. Each brand chooses the rewards at every level. Medals are never taken away.
How is a sale credited to an athlete?
Every ad Boomerang creates carries the video’s ID in its link. When an order comes in with that link, or with the athlete’s discount code, the sale is credited to that athlete. Last click within 7 days by default.
Why not just use Meta’s purchase numbers?
Meta’s numbers include modelled and view-through conversions, which usually run higher than real orders. We show them for context, but commission is paid on matched orders only.
What happens if an order is refunded?
Commission sits in a 14-day hold. If the order is refunded during that time, the commission reverses automatically.
Do I need my own Meta ad account?
Yes. Ads run on your ad account and ad spend is billed by Meta directly. Boomerang builds, tags and tracks the ads.
How do samples work?
Athletes request products you’ve switched on. When you approve, Boomerang creates a $0 order in Shopify, tagged so it stays out of your sales numbers.
How and when do athletes get paid?
Weekly. You review the payout list and pay everyone due in one click; each athlete receives it in their bank account.
What can I pay athletes on?
Any mix of four rules: a share of sales, a flat amount per order, a flat amount per approved video, or Meta ad results such as a share of ad spend. You can limit a rule to videos or statics and cap what one video earns.
What does Boomerang cost?
Boomerang is free for a limited time. No seats, contracts or minimums. You only pay your athletes the commission you set.
