Notes

Refersion is an affiliate tool, not a UGC marketplace: it publishes no per-video, hourly, gifting or ads features. Its home and platform pages render their headline counters (merchants, orders, revenue tracked) as placeholders, so no scale figure is reported. Supported countries are not published; the only geographic reference is 1099 forms for U.S. affiliates.
