Key features
Rewardful
- Stripe and Paddle billing sync
- Commissions adjust on their own when a referred customer upgrades, downgrades, cancels, gets a refund or starts a free trial, and Rewardful data shows inside the Stripe dashboard.
- Links and coupon codes
- Affiliate links work on any page of your site through a URL parameter such as ?via=name, and coupon codes credit influencers where links cannot be used.
- Flexible commissions
- Set percentage or fixed commissions, one-time or recurring, with your own cookie length, first- or last-touch attribution, double-sided incentives and minimum payout thresholds.
- Affiliate portal
- Affiliates sign up and find their links, codes, earnings and an assets library of logos and copy; Growth and Enterprise brand it on your own domain.
- Payouts
- Pay affiliates in bulk through PayPal or Wise, or hand payouts to Rewardful's Managed Payouts, which charges a 3% processing fee.
- Fraud checks and API
- Suspected self-referrals are flagged and deactivated automatically, and a REST API on every plan supports a white-labeled program.
Tolt
- Stripe, Paddle and Chargebee
- Client-side or server-side setup links Tolt to your billing, so commissions stop when a subscription is canceled and are deducted when a payment is refunded.
- Branded affiliate portal
- Match the portal to your brand and host it on your own subdomain, such as affiliates.yourdomain.com, with a resources page for affiliates.
- Commission flows and coupons
- Set custom commissions per affiliate, group partners, run several programs and give referred customers a discount with double-sided coupon rewards.
- Bulk and auto payouts
- Export pending payouts for PayPal Mass Payments or Wise batch payments, or let Tolt pay affiliates through PayPal, Wise, Payoneer, local bank, crypto or wire.
- Tax forms for affiliates
- From Growth up, Tolt collects W-9 and W-8 forms, files 1099s and issues invoices for affiliates.
