Running an affiliate program shouldn’t feel like running a second tech stack. Most businesses need the same core things: reliable tracking, clear commissions, a page that looks like their brand, and simple integration. Here’s what actually matters—and how our platform delivers it with minimal setup and zero technical hassle.

What do most clients really need?

After working with hundreds of merchants, a clear pattern emerges. They don’t want dozens of advanced features; they want a small set of essentials that work well.

1. Accurate tracking (clicks + conversions)

You need to know when someone came from an affiliate link and when they actually bought. That means click tracking (record visits from referral links) and conversion tracking (record when an order is completed so commissions are calculated). No guesswork, no manual spreadsheets. With us, one conversion API call when the order is done—and the system handles the rest.

2. Simple, flexible commissions

Merchants need to set how affiliates get paid: percentage of the order (e.g. 10%), fixed amount per sale, or per-affiliate overrides for top performers. Our system supports all of these. You set your default rules once; overrides are optional.

3. A recruitment page that looks like your brand

Your affiliate signup page is often the first impression affiliates get. It should match your brand—headlines, colors, images, tone—without requiring a developer. That’s where a visual page editor changes everything (more on that below).

4. Affiliate management and payouts

You need to see who’s in your program, how they’re performing, approve or reject signups, and handle payouts in a clear way. We give you a merchant dashboard with affiliates, conversions, commissions, and payouts in one place.

5. Minimal integration effort

The last thing you need is a long, fragile integration. Most merchants want one conversion call when an order completes, optional click tracking when a user lands with an affiliate code, and no complex SDKs—just a simple API that fits into your existing checkout. That’s exactly how we’re built.

Integrate in under a minute

Our integration is designed so you can go live in about one minute.

  1. Get your merchant slug — After you sign up, your program lives at a URL like /domain/yourbrand. yourbrand is your merchant slug; you use it in every API call.
  2. Send conversions when orders complete — When a customer completes a purchase and you know they came from an affiliate (via cookie or URL parameter), your backend calls our conversion API once: POST /api/<merchantSlug>/track/conversion with orderId, amount, currency, and affiliateCode. We respond with the calculated commission. That’s it for the core integration.
  3. Optional: report clicks — If you want click stats, when a user lands via an affiliate link you can call our click endpoint or use our script; we set a cookie so when you send the conversion later, you don’t even need to pass the affiliate code again.

One required endpoint (conversion), one optional (click). No SDK required, no multi-step wizard. Your backend does one POST and you’re live. Full details: User guide and API reference.

Customize your page without touching code

Here’s where we differ from many competitors: your team can customize the affiliate recruitment page themselves, with no technical knowledge.

The problem with “custom” pages elsewhere

Many affiliate platforms offer “custom” landing pages, but in practice that often means editing raw HTML or templates, knowing CSS or themes to change colors and layout, or involving developers for every copy or design change. Result: delays, dependency on IT, and pages that still don’t quite match your brand.

Our approach: a visual HTML editor (WYSIWYG)

We use a visual HTML editor (WYSIWYG) so you edit the page the same way you’d edit a document or an email:

  • Drag and place text, images, headings, and buttons.
  • Format with bold, lists, links—no tags to type.
  • Change colors and layout through the editor (and optional custom CSS for those who want it), not by editing code.
  • Add or edit FAQ and CTAs in simple forms.

What you see in the editor is what affiliates see on the live page. No “preview mode” guesswork and no deployment step.

No tech required

Marketing can update copy and images. Design can tweak look and feel. You can change commission or program details in the dashboard. Nobody needs to know HTML, CSS, or how to deploy a site. If you can use a rich text editor, you can run your affiliate page. Our clients don’t need to know any tech for customizing—that’s the whole point.

Compared to the rest

Need to change a headline or CTA? With us, anyone with editor access does it in minutes, with very low risk of breaking the page. With many competitors, it’s often a dev or someone who can edit templates, and it can take hours or days. We built the page editor so that customization is a business decision, not a technical one.

Summary

Most merchants really need: (1) reliable tracking (clicks + conversions), (2) clear commission rules (percentage, fixed, overrides), (3) a branded recruitment page that’s easy to change, (4) simple affiliate and payout management, and (5) integration that takes about a minute—one conversion API call, optional click tracking, no heavy SDKs.

We provide all of that, plus a visual page editor so your team can customize the affiliate page without code. No HTML or tech skills required. That’s how you get the features that matter, integrated fast and managed easily.
