Executive Summary

Many WooCommerce merchants—especially small and mid-market DTC brands and influencer managers—still rely on coupon codes, UTMs and manual spreadsheets to track creator-driven sales, producing attribution gaps, payment disputes and weeks-long reconciliation cycles. With roughly 500,000 addressable merchants and an estimated $3.0B market (at about $6K ACV), this is a widespread operational pain that enterprise tools often overcharge for and general analytics break under cookieless conditions. You could build a lightweight WooCommerce plugin plus SaaS dashboard that replaces coupons and spreadsheets with order-level attribution: server-side event capture, one-click creator tokens (links/QRs), fingerprint-assisted fallbacks, automated payout rules and an auditable transaction trail for creators and finance teams. Distribution through the WordPress ecosystem keeps go-to-market costs low, and tiered pricing in the $2–10K ACV range could meaningfully monetize while cutting reconciliation time from days to minutes. Timing favors entry: creator marketing budgets are expanding, cookieless/privacy-first analytics are forcing server-side solutions, and WooCommerce’s ubiquity offers a clear plugin distribution path—market score 90/100 and revenue potential 88/100 reflect that alignment. To stand out, prioritize frictionless WooCommerce integration, verifiable order-level proofs for creator payouts, predictable SMB pricing and strong fraud/duplicate detection, while being realistic about the medium competition, the support and onboarding burden, and the need to build trust and compliance across jurisdictions.
