Why SaaS Needs Affiliates

Affiliates bring you customers you'd never reach otherwise. They write reviews, create tutorials, recommend you in newsletters, and send qualified traffic directly to your signup page. You pay only when they drive actual revenue.

For SaaS, this is the perfect growth channel. Your affiliates become an extension of your sales team—promoting your product to their audiences while you focus on building.

Recurring Commissions

SaaS runs on subscriptions. Revshare tracks every renewal automatically and pays affiliates on each payment—20%, 30%, or whatever rate you set. Affiliates earn as long as customers stay, aligning their incentives with yours.

Common SaaS commission structures:

  • Recurring percentage — 20-30% of every payment for the customer's lifetime
  • First-year recurring — Commissions on the first 12 months of payments
  • One-time bonus — Fixed amount per new subscription ($50, $100, etc.)
  • Hybrid — One-time signup bonus plus ongoing recurring percentage

Stripe Integration

Connect Stripe in one click. Revshare syncs every payment, subscription, and refund automatically. When a customer pays, we calculate the commission instantly. When they cancel or refund, we adjust earnings accordingly. No manual tracking, no spreadsheets.

Using Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, or another provider? Our API works with any payment system. Send us the transaction when it happens, and we handle attribution.

Free Trials & Conversions

Most SaaS products offer free trials. Revshare tracks the full journey—from affiliate click to trial signup to paid conversion. Affiliates get credit when the trial converts to a paying subscription, not before.

Set your cookie duration to match your sales cycle. 30 days works for most SaaS. Longer enterprise sales cycles? Set it to 60 or 90 days so affiliates get credit even when deals take time to close.
