Affiliate Software for SaaS Companies

SaaS businesses thrive on predictable growth. An affiliate program lets you acquire customers through trusted recommendations — without the upfront cost of paid advertising.

The Problem

Most SaaS companies rely heavily on paid ads for growth, but CAC keeps rising. Building an in-house affiliate system takes months of engineering time and ongoing maintenance — tracking referrals, calculating recurring commissions, handling payouts, and preventing fraud.

  • Rising customer acquisition costs
  • No resources to build custom tracking
  • Manual payout processes that don't scale
  • Inability to track recurring subscription revenue

  • Launch in under 5 minutes with Stripe integration
  • Automatically track recurring subscription commissions

SaaS Affiliate FAQ

How do recurring commissions work?+
When a referred customer renews their subscription, the affiliate automatically earns a commission. This continues for as long as the subscription is active — incentivizing affiliates to refer quality customers.
Which payment providers do you support?+
Stripe, Paddle, Razorpay, and Lemon Squeezy are supported natively. For other providers, use our API or Zapier integration.
Can I track free-trial-to-paid conversions?+
Yes. Affilify tracks the full funnel from click → trial signup → paid conversion, so affiliates only get credited when a real payment occurs.
How do I prevent self-referrals?+
Our AI-powered fraud detection automatically blocks self-referrals, cookie stuffing, and other abuse patterns.
