What are the best affiliation solutions available?
We are currently preparing our affiliation strategy and are faced with multiple choices in front of us.
- Does any of you recommend one in particular? (Pro's and Con's)
- Does anyone on IH offer this kind of services? (It would be awesome to be on of your customers 🙌)
We process our payments with Stripe and would like something that would work/integrate/connect with it.
I have heard a lot of people refer to Rewardful on Indiehackers, I personally haven't used it, but It might be just what you're after!
Thank you @LouTromans
The 9%/ transaction fee seems very expensive! Considering there is also a monthly subscription.
No worries, apparently their value comes from their innovation and customer service team.
However, I agree 9% is super high
I see :)
Good customer services are quite important but 9% fee is exaggerated, especially for a solution to already share our revenues...
Rewardful is pretty neat if you use Stripe. There's also FirstPromoter (I like rewardful better though).
Once you're up and running you may actually need my service: https://spoofdefender.com
Thanks for the heads up!
I use getrewardful.com for divjoy.com and I'm super happy with it
How was the integration difficulty/time spend to make it works with your own stack?
Took an hour or two max. Integration looked something like:
Then rewardful handles it from there, as they know who referred each Stripe customer.
Wow! Thanks for the details! It sure does look quite easy to integrate.
I have a list of programs on my website on this topic for anyone looking to do research: affiliate marketing from the merchant's perspective.
I don't have any to recommend though, sorry.
Well thanks for the reading material at least :p
You're welcome. The companies in this space are unfortunately not known for having useful websites that helpfully solve your problems and provide transparent pricing, as you are probably finding out.
Indeed! Your article is very interesting btw :)
Hi Alessandro! I've curated 15 SaaS affiliate pages on SaaSFrame (https://www.saasframe.io/categories/affiliate-page) and most of them are using PartnerStack to manage their affiliate.
I've used it myself as an affiliate and the experience is great
Sounds great! I've looked at their pricing page and there are no prices displayed whatsoever. What is the cost structure for PartnerStack? Did you try other affiliation solutions besides this one?
https://referralrock.com was on the IndieHackers podcast.

Could be helpful!
Thanks for sharing :)
I have a friend in London who uses these folks here, he doesn't have complaints -https://firstpromoter.com/
Personally, given the TCO I would build it myself.
Thank you! I'm gonna add this to our shortlist.
Rewardful is great.
$19/mo + 9%
Good enough for me.
