Affiliate & Referral Services

One link. One sale.
Automatic commission.

Not advertising — a growth channel recommended by real people. Let affiliates, influencers, consultants and existing customers bring you new buyers; tracking links, multi-cookie models, commission tiers, fraud detection and automated payouts — all in one engine, under your control.

Affiliate success comes from a system, not just software. The right commission curve + the right partner list + on-time payouts + blocked fraud — all four together. We build the four pillars in parallel.

Why they fail

80% of affiliate programs die in the first 6 months. The cause isn't the software — it's the missing system.

Opening a SaaS dashboard and entering a commission rate is a start — but not enough. Five mechanisms must work together for the program to stay alive: accurate tracking (cookie + server-side), realistic commission structure, timely payouts, fraud blocking, continuous partner recruitment. Miss one and the program quietly dies: partners stop sharing, reports gather dust, the channel ends up on the "we tried, didn't work" list.

01

Wrong / no tracking

iOS ITP, third-party cookie blocks, AdBlock — cookie-only tracking is dead. Without server-side fallback, 20-40% of commissions go unrecorded. The partner makes a sale, sees no earnings, leaves the program.

02

Late / opaque payouts

30+ day delays, no documentation, manual bank transfers. Once an affiliate hits the "I don't see the money" experience, you've lost several partners at once. Automatic payout = trust.

03

Fraud

Self-purchase, coupon hijacking, click farms, fake accounts. Without an engine to block these, 15-30% of commissions paid to "partners" go to fraud.

04

No recruiter

"We opened the site, let them apply" = dead program. Without someone actively adding partners, no growth. The first 50 partners are on you; after that, the network grows itself.

05

No creative

When a partner asks "what do I share?", if there's no banner, video, email template, story sticker — they share nothing. A ready asset library is mandatory.

06

Wrong commission

2% commission = nobody shares. 50% commission = unsustainable. Without sector + AOV + LTV math, starting burns cash.

Operations panel

Leaderboard, fraud alerts, commission tiers — daily ops in one panel.

The affiliate engine is not an admin panel; it's a live game engine. When top performers are visible, the rest race to catch up. Suspicious activity is blocked the moment it shows. The tier system continuously feeds the partner's drive to earn more.

FAQ

The 8 questions clients ask most

Affiliate is a performance-based, measurable commission model; the partner earns a share of each sale, no waste. Influencer marketing is typically paid upfront (post-fee); the brand carries risk, measurement is weak. The ideal: combine both. Pay an influencer a small upfront fee + commission per sale — you get speed and measurability. In our programs ~70% of partners run pure affiliate, 30% on a hybrid influencer model; the ratio shifts by sector.
Quick rule: sharing 30-50% of gross margin with the partner is reasonable. E-commerce avg 5-15%; SaaS 15-30% (recurring); high-ticket education 20-30%; financial products use a fixed bounty. Too low = nobody shares; too high = unsustainable. We model from AOV, margin, LTV and test the first 3 months. Tiered (Bronze 5%, Silver 7%, Gold 10%, VIP 15%) keeps motivation highest.
Depends on sector + purchase cycle. Impulse buys: 7-14 days; considered purchases: 30 days; high-ticket / SaaS: 60-90 days. E-commerce avg: 30 days. SaaS recurring: 60+ days. iOS Safari ITP means cookie alone isn't safe — first-party cookie + server-side postback + fingerprint together. Cookie-only loses 20-40% of attribution.
Five layers of defence: (1) Self-purchase detection — partner can't buy from their own link, IP + device + payment method match-check. (2) Coupon hijacking — coupons not exposed to organic search. (3) IP-flood + rate limits — more than X clicks/minute auto-blocked. (4) Multi-account detection — second account with same KYC blocked. (5) Manual approval threshold — human review for commissions above ₺X. Industry fraud is 14%; our setup keeps it at 1-3%.
Standard: monthly or bi-weekly, automated. With Stripe Connect + PayPal Payouts the partner sees "when, where, how much" transparently. Min threshold typically ₺200-500 (reduces micro-payment cost). Late payout = partner loss; fast + predictable = loyalty. New partners go through a 30-day hold period before the first payout (chargeback protection); subsequent payouts run normally. Bank transfer is also available.
In TR: invoice or self-employment receipt from the partner; withholding auto-calculated and remitted by you. For overseas partners: US 1099 (annual), EU VAT reverse-charge, others W-8BEN. All contracts + invoices archived in the system, downloadable for audit in one click. We work alongside your tax advisor; correct setup is critical.
Small-mid (under 50 partners/mo, under ₺500K revenue): Rewardful, Tapfiliate, LeadDyno — $99-499/mo, quick setup. Mid-large (50-500 partners): PartnerStack, Impact — $1.5K-10K/mo, richer rules. Large (500+ partners, custom rules, deep integration): a custom build wins; 3-6 month setup but lower TCO. We decide together based on budget + growth plan + integration needs.
Easiest source: existing customers. Offer NPS ≥ 9 customers a commission — conversion 25-40%. Second: content creators on your email list (bloggers, YouTubers). Third: niche influencers — micro-influencers (5K-50K followers) outperform because engagement is high. Fourth: industry agencies + consultants. The first 50 partners are found manually with 1:1 onboarding; after that the program becomes attractive enough to draw inbound applications. Recruiter support from us for the first 90 days.
