Tapfiliate - the practical guide.

Tapfiliate is a cloud-based affiliate tracking platform aimed at SaaS, ecommerce and course creators. It supports first-party tracking, recurring commissions, multi-tier programmes and direct integrations with Shopify, Stripe, Recurly, Chargebee and dozens of other tools. Popular with bootstrapped and mid-market brands running their own programme.

SaaS, ecommerce and creators that want to launch and run an in-house affiliate programme without enterprise complexity. Particularly good for SaaS thanks to recurring-commission support and Stripe/Chargebee integrations. Also a fit for Shopify brands wanting an alternative to Refersion or UpPromote.

Essential plan around USD 89/month, Pro around USD 149/month and Enterprise custom. Tiers are based on conversions tracked per month and features (multi-currency, recurring commissions, custom domains). Free trial available; no per-affiliate fees.

Right when you want flexible tracking across SaaS or ecommerce, recurring commissions, and integrations with billing tools - without network override fees. Wrong fit when you need a publisher network from day one, or when you're an enterprise needing the depth of impact.com.

Conversion-based pricing can spike during launches or sales - monitor usage. Like all in-house platforms, you own recruitment and management. Some integrations are lighter than they look; verify your billing platform's coverage before committing. Reporting is solid but not enterprise-grade.
