SaaS & E-commerce

Revshare excels at powering affiliate programs for SaaS companies and e-commerce stores. With one-click integrations for Stripe and Shopify, you can automatically track sales, calculate commissions, and manage payouts—all without manual work. SaaS businesses typically use recurring commission structures to reward affiliates for every subscription renewal, while e-commerce stores often prefer percentage-based commissions on one-time purchases.

These integrations sync transactions instantly, so affiliates see their earnings update in real-time and you maintain accurate records without spreadsheets or manual tracking. Whether you're selling software subscriptions or physical products, Revshare handles the technical complexity so you can focus on growing your program.

Lead-Based Businesses

Many web-based businesses rely on leads rather than direct sales. These companies benefit from affiliate programs that track form submissions, sign-ups, and other conversion events—rewarding affiliates for qualified leads that convert into customers through your sales process.

Create affiliate programs for:

  • Agencies — Marketing, web design, consulting, and other service-based businesses
  • Real estate agencies — Property inquiries, agent sign-ups, and mortgage applications
  • Education platforms — Course enrollments, free trial sign-ups, and webinar registrations (one-time, recurring, or lead-based commissions)
  • B2B services — Demo requests, free account sign-ups, and enterprise consultation bookings

Lead affiliate programs let you scale lead generation by rewarding partners who drive form submissions, sign-ups, and other conversion actions—without paying upfront for advertising or cold outreach. You only pay when you receive a qualified lead that matches your ideal customer profile.

Getting Started

Whether you're running a SaaS, e-commerce store, agency, or any other web-based business, Revshare makes it easy to launch your affiliate program. Set up takes minutes: create your program, configure commission rates (percentage, fixed, or lead-based), and start inviting affiliates. For SaaS and e-commerce businesses, connect Stripe or Shopify for automatic transaction tracking. For lead-based businesses, use our conversion tracking to monitor form submissions and other events.

The key is choosing the right commission structure for your business model. SaaS companies typically use recurring commissions to reward affiliates for lifetime customer value. E-commerce stores often prefer percentage-based commissions on one-time sales. Agencies and lead-focused businesses use fixed commissions per qualified lead, ensuring they only pay for genuine prospects.
