ReferralFlo
Affiliate marketing software

Affiliate marketing software your partners actually stay in

Most affiliate tooling assumes a checkout. If your commissionable event is a closed deal months after the click, you need attribution and escrow that can wait that long.

The problem you already have

Your partners are selling for you — through DMs, calls and decks you'll never see. But commission maths in a spreadsheet is where partnerships go to die.

What most teams do: a shared doc of scribbled terms, attribution arguments at the end of every quarter, and payouts that slip a month because someone had to reconcile them by hand.
What ReferralFlo does: one place where the rules are set, every click and sale is attributed automatically, and approved commissions flow straight into payout rails.

Why run affiliates on ReferralFlo
01
Rules partners can read
Fixed, percentage, tiered or milestone commissions, visible to the partner in their portal, enforced by the lifecycle engine, never re-negotiated in a thread.
02
Attribution without arguments
Every conversion ties back to the partner, the program, the channel and the device fingerprint. When the ledger says it's theirs, it's theirs.
03
Payouts that build trust
Approval workflow with bulk actions and a full audit trail, then multi-provider fulfilment with per-reward status and retry. Partners who get paid on time sell more.

Our clients were already recommending us. ReferralFlo just meant we finally knew who they were, and could thank them properly.

Before commission moves

Commission is the reward most worth gaming

Self-referrals, IP collisions, velocity and disposable domains are screened before anything becomes payable, and approval stays explicit. Escrow holds the payout until your condition is met.

Common questions

What commission structures can I set up?

Fixed amounts, percentage of sale value, tiers by volume, and milestone bonuses, with separate rules for the partner and the referred customer, triggered by the lifecycle states you choose.

How do partners join and get their links?

Share a join link. It enrols the partner, provisions their advocate record, and issues their unique referral code instantly. They land in a branded portal with their links, stats and reward history.

How do payouts work?

Fulfilment is orchestrated across Stripe, PayPal and Tremendous, with per-reward status tracking and retry, plus tax and compliance handling on payouts.

Does commission survive a three-month B2B sales cycle?

That is the case this is built for. Attribution is event-driven rather than tied to a checkout, so the commissionable event can be a closed deal or a first invoice months after the click. Reward escrow then holds the payout open until that condition is actually met.

When is one of the big affiliate networks the better choice?

When what you need is reach. If you want a marketplace of existing publishers to recruit from on day one, the established networks have a supply side we do not, and no feature comparison changes that. ReferralFlo assumes you know who your partners are — integration partners, agencies, consultants, power users — and brings the infrastructure underneath them.

How do you protect against commission abuse?

Every referral is screened by five fraud layers (bot detection, device fingerprinting, IP and duplicate checks, velocity rules and a fraud risk level), and every reward action is written to the audit log.
