Affiliate marketing tool for Paddle?

I have to say, affiliate marketing solutions can't make websites - they're all more or less interchangable. I'm looking for something that:

  • works with Paddle
  • allows me to use my domain name (as opposed to a redirect)
  • doesn't cost $300/month before the first campaign even starts

Any recommendations?

    Well Paddle offer their own tool, which is free and requires zero integration.
    It does use a redirect, though.

    (you need to ask their support team to enable the affiliate option)

      I have it enabled, but I don't want to go forward with it. Here are the limitations:

      • can't use my own domain
      • max 99 payments go to affiliate (I want infinite, though 99 in pracitce is infinite)
      • cookie is active for 30 days (I want longer, I had customers purchase a subscription a month after the trial expired)

        Yup they do have some limitations, but it's a good place to start with.

        Another issue is that it is linked to your payment gateway provider, so should you decide to switch the payment gateway, you also have to switch the affiliate program.

        Well let us all know if you find one that ticks all the boxes!

          Hey, I might have figured out how to solve 2. I'll just redirect from my domain to a.paddle.

            Interesting! How would that work though?
            Each of your affiliates gets their link through the Paddle platform, plus the links are unique with the affiliate ID.
