Congratulations on the launch. I've been using it for my affiliate account with Podia. Don't have much idea about the setup, but seems pretty nice for the end users.

@weirdowizard Thanks for the kind words Darshan :)

We recently integrated Rewardful in Bullet Train and it was very straightforward to implement. When I had questions about specific features I was looking for, I was able to hop on a call with Kyle and Brady and talk through how we could accomplish what we were trying to do. In addition to that, they also had really great feedback on the structure of our affiliate program that really improved what we were offering affiliates before we launched the program. I really appreciated them bringing their expertise to that conversation.

Pros:

Super simple integration. Great support.

Cons:

Haven’t run into any.

Oh wow, you guys did it! I've been waiting for something like this (see my comment here: https://www.indiehackers.com/for...). I hope you make a ton of money, and I'll be a customer very soon. Congrats!
Kyle Fox
@brendonrell Interesting! It's long been a thorn in my spine, which is why I finally just rage-built my own 😂Interesting you mentioned coupons in that thread — that's something we're in the planning stages of right now (ex: auto-apply coupons to referred customers). Give me a shout on Intercom or kyle@getrewardful.com if you want to chat more!

This is the affiliate software for Stripe all of us SaaS folks have been waiting for!

Pros:

Simple setup, deep integration with Stripe, well-designed

Cons:

None!

@kylefox Is the primary use case here a referral program? For example, could I give all my users this link and as they share and grow my user base, give them premium services they would otherwise pay for? I’ve looked at platforms like Viral Loops in the past that are also very good, but this is simple and we already use Stripe for upgrade payments. Are there an examples of the upgrade logic other apps have used? My goal is to grow free app users vs. driving product sales.
Kyle Fox
@justinotherjohnson Good question — right now we're more oriented around "affiliates", i.e. people (who may or may not be customers) you reward with cash. But "referrals", i.e. customers who are rewarded with credits for referring other customers is definitely in the roadmap. The mechanics are very similar. (By the way, not sure if my distinction between "affiliates" and "referrals" makes sense, but it's how we've been talking about them internally) > Are there an examples of the upgrade logic other apps have used? Not entirely sure I understand. You mean that because your goal is to grow free users, you'd like some incentive structure that doesn't involve rewarding with cash or credit?
Justin Johnson
@kylefox Makes sense. I’ve done affiliate marketing and do understand the difference between getting paid vs. some sort of app-based upgrade or benefit. My follow up question was specific to apps that give rewards vs. cash. Based on your initial response, rewards outside of payment may not have been explored yet.

Just tried it out and this looks super simple. Great job @kylefox!
Kyle Fox
@paulmckeever Awesome to hear Paul, give us a shout if there's anything we can do to help get your affiliate program rolling!

Looks great Kyle! 😀 Could it be used for products other than SAAS? In our particular example (https://www.scape.land/ 🖼) we charge users once via a Typeform form integrated with Stripe. We've already received petitions from people to promote our product so it would be awesome if we could give them a commission for any sale that they originate.
Kyle Fox
@cesc_vilanova Thank you! Technically it will work with any Invoice generated by Stripe, whether that's a subscription invoice, an invoice created through the API, or an invoice created directly in the Stripe dashboard. However, my guess is that Typeform creates Charges (not Invoices) which Rewardful currently doesn't support. We've talked about supporting charge, but it's not something we'll do for sure. Free free to drop me a line if you'd like to chat further: kyle@getrewardful.com
Cesc Vilanova
@getrewardful @kylefox Got it Kyle, thanks. I've taken a quick look and I'm not sure how Typeform deals with the charge. We will probably start by using the Stripe dashboard.
Kyle Fox
@getrewardful @cesc_vilanova Sounds good, drop me a line if you'd us to investigate Rewardful + Typeform further: kyle@getrewardful.com
Jim Canto
Brady and Kyle... may I ask; Does your system support recurring commission incentive models?
Brady Cassidy
@jimcanto definitely! This is the primary use case Rewardful was built for. One of the benefits with this is you reward your affiliates or referrers for the quality of customers they send you.
Jim Canto
@bradycassidy Thank you for the reply. I'll have a look in a bit.

I'm only thinking about switching to this app, but judging by the reviews, I won't regret it. Well, let's see ... My work is mainly related to partner programs of various companies or brands, so there is always some kind of confusion and every day I have to start all over again. When I started doing this thanks to this article https://iliketodabble.com/best-s..., I had no idea that I could develop so much in the future. Now I'm looking for an application that can simplify my work for me, I hope this is exactly what I need!
Donny Ouyang
Cool app! How is Rewardful specifically tailored for SaaS companies as opposed to consumer-facing startups (i.e. subscription services, ecommerce, etc)?
Mo
@donny I think SaaS is the same as "subscription services"?
