Affiliate & Referral Programs

Affiliate and referral software tracks who sent a customer, attributes the resulting revenue, and pays the referrer, turning word of mouth into a measurable acquisition channel.

Every startup gets referrals; few can tell you which ones converted or pay for them reliably. This category wires a billing system to a partner ledger: unique links, cookie and coupon attribution, commission rules, and payouts. The tools split cleanly between lightweight products built for a Stripe-billed SaaS and full partner-ecosystem platforms priced for companies with a partnerships team.
