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.
