Your business is in good hands
FirstPromoter has been great, been loving the new update – much more cleaner and the new way of coupon codes is a game changer. Tracking is great and shows all numbers that needs to be seen!

Customer service has been excellent, and the platform itself is very sleek and intuitive. For a growing affiliate program, it’s perfect!
Marketing and Partnership Manager at CustomGPT
It’s gotten a lot easier since the launch of V2 for sure! Honestly, our work with FirstPromoter currently is very low since we have everything set up: new affiliates get onboarded automatically and we offer to have a call with them. Rest of the work is: go through new applications once a week, check out data at least once a month, send out emails to affiliates if we do campaigns/have product releases.
