We've been using FirstPromoter and it's awesome. Virgil has been great at support there. We set up a referral + affiliate program connected to Stripe.
FirstPromoter's step by step setup makes it super easy to get started and launch your first affiliate program, no matter how simple or complex your affiliate scheme is.
Each campaign can have its own affiliates, commissions/rewards structure, messaging(emails), links and signup pages
You can set percentage or fixed commissions, with a different first month amount or limited time recurring commissions.
Promoters can get bonuses when they sign up to a campaign or successfully refer a set number of customers.
You can create private campaigns for different events and invite only specific affiliates to promote them.
Campaigns can be managed by different team members and they can receive commissions based on the campaign performance.
You can structure your campaigns as multiple levels. When affiliates reach a target, they can be "levelled up" to the next campaign.
Your affiliates can promote multiple campaigns at once, each campaign with different referral links and different stats.
You can exclude certain pricing plans from generating commissions or to generate commissions only for some plan ids.
You can set up a minimum payout amounts, payout delays and enable different payout method for each campaign.
You can pay hundreds of affiliates in one go, directly from your FirstPromoter account with 0% commission.
Unlike Paypal MassPay, you don't have to log in to Paypal, upload CSV files and manually mark payouts as completed.
new You can also use Wise Bulk payouts to pay affiliates directly to their bank accounts via Wise.com
We use Firstpromoter and it's class. Super easy to use. Virgil is an absolute star and has great ideas about how to get the most from an affiliate programme.

Affiliate fraud can come suddenly and causes serious issues if it's not managed properly. Fortunately, we're one of the few products that take this very seriously and provide features to help you combat it.
Letting only affiliates that you trust is the most powerful measure to prevent fraud. We give you the option to approve or deny affiliates and get enough details about them to make an appropriate decision.
We generate commissions only when the sale is confirmed by your billing provider and automatically track refunds so you won't need to verify each commission manually.
FirstPromoter automatically detects affiliates that use their own link to make purchases and try to trick the system by getting a commission for a sale they haven't referred.
You can set a refund rate threshold and we'll detect fraudulent affiliates that try to scam you with chargebacks and refunds.
If you find out suspicious behaviour from an affiliate you can suspend for a limited time or ban them completely from the program.
This helps immensly with many types of fraud as the affiliate will only get paid if they have a number of 2 or more (can be set by you) customers with active subscriptions.
Our step-by-step setup makes the integration a breeze, so you can get your program up and running in no-time.

Not at this time. Stripe has country and withdrawal limitations and requires individual verification. This is a big friction point for affiliates to sign up, whilst almost everyone has a Paypal account. Even if you don't want to use Paypal, you can still pay your affiliates by any method you like as long you mark the payout as completed in FirstPromoter.
Yes. Your promoters will be able to sign up and access their dashboard from your own subdomain like https://affiliates.yourwebsite.com. By default, the referral links look like https://yourwebsite.com?fpr=referralid or https://yourwebsite.com/#_r_referralid so you'll get full SEO benefits.
The default cookie life for referral links is 60 days, but we can change it to any value. If a visitor signs up within 60 days after the first visit following a referral link, his/her sales will be tracked as affiliate sales and commissions/rewards will be attributed.
Like with any marketing channel, patience and the amount of allocated resources will contribute immensely to the end result. For some companies the program ramps up by itself, for others it may require more effort. In any case, we recommend to give it at least 1 year before closing it down, one big influencer or partner can turn the ROI of your program around.
We offer both monthly and yearly plans with 2 months free. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your monthly account at any time with no further obligation.
