Every affiliate gets a unique short link. Clicks, conversions, and commissions are tracked end-to-end — visible to both you and your affiliate.

🧑‍💼

Self-serve affiliate portal

Affiliates log in to see their clicks, conversions, earnings, and what they're owed. No email threads asking 'how much did I make last month?'

📋

Approval workflow

Review and approve affiliates before they get access. Invite candidates from the pool, add anyone by email, or share your public application link.

Who's in your pool right now

We don't chase mega-influencers. affilut recruits niche creators (≈1.5k–300k audience) who make review, tutorial, and "best tools" content — the people whose audiences come to them for product recommendations. They're relevant, reachable, and recruitable for a bootstrapped program, and their viewers actually convert — which is exactly what a mega-influencer's broad reach won't do.

Up and running in under 10 minutes

You're the founder. Your affiliates are the creators. Here's how each step works.

  1. 1

    Connect Stripe

    One OAuth click. We read your charges to detect referred conversions — no SDK or pixel needed.

  2. 2

    Add a one-liner to your checkout

    Copy the attribution snippet from your dashboard and paste it into your Stripe checkout. It reads the affiliate ref from the URL and passes it to your payment metadata. That's the full integration.

  3. 3

    Invite your affiliates

    Browse a curated pool of pre-vetted creators across your niches, add anyone by email, or share your public application link. Each affiliate gets a unique tracking link and their own portal.

  4. 4

    Approve conversions

    When a referred customer pays, the commission appears in your dashboard. Review and approve in one click.

  5. 5

    Pay your affiliates and mark them settled

    affilut shows you the balance due for each affiliate, with the payout details they provided. Pay them directly — bank, PayPal, Wise — then mark it settled. affilut keeps the books; it never touches the money.

Why we built this

The honest, no-frills option

affilut starts at $19/mo flat — 0% fees, 0% commission, never a cut of your revenue or a tax on your payouts. And it comes with a curated, continuously-growing pool of pre-vetted affiliate candidates, so you're not starting from a blank spreadsheet. Pay for tracking, not features you won't use.

Stripe-native. No pixel. No SDK. No per-conversion fees.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need Stripe?

Yes. affilut connects to your Stripe in a read-only capacity and tracks conversions via charge metadata — when a referred customer pays, the commission owed is calculated automatically. affilut never moves money; you pay your affiliates directly.

How does the Stripe integration work?

Copy the attribution snippet from your dashboard and add it to your checkout page. It reads the affiliate ref from the URL and passes it to your Stripe payment metadata. That's the full integration — no pixel, no SDK to install.

Can I set custom commission rates per affiliate?

Yes. You can set a program-wide default rate and override it per affiliate. Useful for offering higher rates to your top performers.

What if I have no affiliates today?

The candidate pool gives you a curated set of pre-vetted creators to reach out to immediately. Filter by niche and audience size, see why each one made the cut, then draft outreach in two clicks — a ready-to-send email copied to your clipboard, no cold prospecting required.

What happens after my trial ends?

You keep all your data. You'll need to upgrade to a paid plan to continue inviting affiliates and tracking conversions. Existing affiliates and conversion history stay intact.
