WhatsNew?

I'd pondered & also did some initial research on this problem for quite some time, Even thought of building initial MVP but never found the time. I feel bad that I didn't make it, at the same time I feel great at least someone made it. Kudos :). I'm definitely going to use it in my current SaaS application. Are there plans to support Paddle.com in near future? We don't have Stripe in our country.

Rewardful Affiliate Tracking for Paddle

@bilalbudhani To be honest it was a lot more work than I was expecting at first, haha! Unfortunately we don't have any immediate plans to integrate with Paddle, sorry 😞But it's something we might consider for the future.

Rewardful Affiliate Tracking for Paddle

@bilalbudhani By the way, Paddle has their own built-in affiliate feature. However, there's almost no information about it on their website, and I've heard from a couple Paddle users that it's extremely basic with limited functionality. Have you checked it out?

@kylefox I'm sure you must have put a lot of hard work before bringing this product to us. I can understand supporting another platform would require significant effort from your side. Thanks for considering thou.

@kylefox oh I see. I did not have any notion that they support affiliate feature as well. It can be also because I've not explored Paddle.com completely, I'm in infancy state right now with their platform. I will look into this feature as well, thanks for pointing it out.

@bilalbudhani @kylefox As a paddle customer having tried their referral feature, I confirm it is very basic, and a lot more complex to understand than what it should be. It's fine as you get it for free along all other Paddle features, but I'd certainly not recommend it on itself.

Oh, and why wouldn't you use Rewardful when they offer a no-risk subscription plan that you can't lose money on?

Pros:

Simple javascript integration, connects to your Stripe account, clean affiliate links

Cons:

None

This is intriguing to hear. Can't wait to refer this to my Devops team.

Podia

We went looking for an affiliate system at Podia a while ago and the options ranged from 'terrible' to 'expensive AND terrible'. The affiliate systems we looked at didn't seem to belong to the modern Stripe-based subscription world. Like, why couldn't this all happen transparently by connecting to our Stripe account? Kyle had that thought and ran with it. I love where Rewardful has ended up

Oh wow, it's just literally two lines of code? I remember @kylefox mentioning he was working on this a while back, but I never envisioned how easy it would be to use. Can't wait to use this when I next want to spin up an affiliate program. Looks killer, props Kyle 🙌

@sethlouey 👋Neat apps! Give us a shout, would love to hook you up.

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.

@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

@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.

@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.

@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?

@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.

Review Rewardful?

Reviewers describe Rewardful as easy to set up and straightforward to use, with an intuitive interface that makes configuring affiliate programs simple. User feedback is strongly positive but thin, so the clearest pattern is smooth onboarding and low-friction navigation rather than a broad range of use cases. One founder of Oriane adds that API integrations and affiliate onboarding are especially solid. There is also a lone low rating without any written explanation, so the available comments skew positive but limited.
