Lightweight Affiliate Software for Bootstrapped Startups
- supporters
Rapid Affiliates is a lightweight, purpose-built affiliate management software designed to help bootstrapped SaaS startups and indie developers launch, manage, and scale referral programs with minimal development overhead. Its intuitive setup wizard, real-time analytics, and fully branded affiliate portals deliver enterprise-grade features in an affordable, developer-friendly package.
Key Features
Guided Program Configuration Define referral rules, commission tiers (one-time, recurring, tiered, event-based), and payout conditions through a step-by-step interface. Most teams complete setup in under 5 minutes, requiring only a small script install and a Stripe identifier tag at checkout.
Real-Time Analytics & Reporting Track clicks, sign-ups, conversions, and revenue attribution on live dashboards. Apply custom date filters, drill down by affiliate or campaign, and export data as CSV or via REST API for advanced analysis.
Branded Affiliate Portals Offer affiliates a seamless, white-label experience with custom domains, logos, and color schemes. Partners can log in to access links, creative assets, performance metrics, and payout histories in one place.
Automated Payout Management Manage PayPal and Wise disbursements with ease. Export bulk payment data for mass uploads, schedule recurring or threshold-triggered payouts, and review detailed logs to maintain transparency and accuracy.
Seamless Integrations Stripe: One-click “Connect” for instant revenue syncing—no further setup required. Other Processors (Chargebee, Paddle, etc.): One-time REST API integration during onboarding, after which tracking and payouts flow automatically.
Unlimited Scalability No caps on affiliate count, referral volume, or commission budgets. Programs can grow from a few advocates to thousands of partners without plan upgrades or hidden fees.
Lightweight & Performance-Safe Asynchronous script loading ensures zero impact on page speed or user experience—unlike many clunky, synchronous affiliate scripts that slow down sites.
GDPR & Privacy Compliance EU-hosted infrastructure with data encryption at rest and in transit. Customizable consent banners and comprehensive audit logs ensure full GDPR alignment. Regional data hosting available upon request.
