    “Best program to get your affiliate program setup and run on it’s own”

    Tolt is a part of my daily life as I manage Creately’s Affiliate Program.

    Ease of use is the main factor when it comes to Tolt, coming from PartnerStack it was a breeze to transition to Tolt’s platform and setup the program. Their team was super flexible and provide fast response when requested for support.

04 Protect

Self-referrals, ad clicks, coupon-site keywords and duplicate IPs are caught on their own and held out of the payout. You only pay for real customers.

A partner buying through their own link earns nothing. At HeyReach, Radar caught 300.

Welcome, first referral, every sale and every payout, from your domain and in their language.

Bonuses on top

Send a one-time thank-you, or pay a bonus when a partner hits a goal.

06 Referral

Drop the widget into your app and every user gets a link to share. Reward them with credit, a coupon or cash, and give their friends a deal too.

Both sides rewarded

Friends get a deal, and whoever invited them gets theirs.

Credit, coupon or cash

Credit on their next invoice, a discount on their plan, or a payout like your affiliates get.

07 Report

Revenue by partner, link and source, every number against the last period, and the referrer, UTM and landing page behind every click.

Every click, traced

The referrer, campaign, landing page and device behind each one.

In Slack every Monday

And a lot more. Custom domains, branded portals, unlimited partners, custom emails, auto-approval and magic-link login.

Mobile apps

Send Tolt your App Store and Google Play purchases from RevenueCat, keep Paddle or Stripe for web checkout, and every sale pays the creator who brought it.

How it works

  • Connect your billing

    Add a 4KB script and connect Stripe, Paddle or Chargebee. Tolt tracks every referral from the first click, and mobile apps send RevenueCat purchases to the API.

  • Brand your portal

    Give affiliates a branded portal: your logo and colors on your own domain, like affiliates.yourdomain.com. They sign up, grab their links and codes and see what they’ve earned.

  • Pay affiliates in one go

    Export bulk payouts for PayPal or Wise, or turn on auto payouts: approve one invoice and Tolt pays every affiliate.

Integrations

FAQ

Getting started

01What is Tolt?

Tolt is affiliate marketing software for SaaS companies. It tracks every referral, link and coupon, works out every commission, gives your affiliates a branded portal on your own domain and pays them, synced with Stripe, Paddle and Chargebee.

02Do you have a free trial?

04Do you take a cut of affiliate revenue?

No. Plans are flat and priced by the partner revenue you track, and Tolt never takes a percentage of it.

Your affiliates

05Can we run an affiliate program and a referral program?

Yes, in one place. Launch a referral program inside your app with Tolt’s widget: your users share their link, earn credit, a coupon or cash, and their friends get a deal too. Your affiliates keep their portal, groups and commissions beside it.

Affiliate vs referral programs
06Can affiliates get a portal on our own domain?

Yes, on every plan. Affiliates sign in to a portal with your logo and colors at an address like affiliates.yourdomain.com, with their links, codes, stats and payouts in one place.

One DNS record
The affiliate portal
07Can we approve affiliates before they join?

Yes. Approve every affiliate automatically, or have them apply for access and approve each one yourself, for a public or a private program. Tolt emails them at every step in your brand, from their approval to new referrals and payouts, and you can edit every email.

  • Auto-approve
  • Apply for access

Tracking and billing

08Which billing providers do you support?

Stripe (Checkout, Payment Links, Pricing Tables and Buy Button), Paddle (Billing and Classic) and Chargebee connect natively and sync both ways. Using something else? Tolt’s API and webhooks work with any billing tool or custom checkout: send sign-ups and payments in, and get every referral and commission back out.

StripePaddleChargebee
Integrations
09Does Tolt work for mobile apps?

Yes. Send your App Store and Google Play purchases from RevenueCat to Tolt’s API, and they earn commissions like web sales, renewals and refunds included. Praktika runs its creator program on Tolt this way, across its iOS and Android apps and its web checkout.

10What happens when a customer cancels or gets a refund?

Tolt syncs both ways with your billing provider. A cancellation stops future commissions, and a refund reverses the partner’s commission automatically, before it’s paid out.

Payments and tax

11How do affiliates get paid?

Pay partners yourself with a CSV for PayPal or Wise, or turn on auto payouts: Tolt pays every partner on schedule and you pay one invoice. Auto payouts carry a 2% processing fee.

How payments work
12Do you handle tax forms?

Yes. Partners submit W-9 or W-8 forms in the portal, and on auto payouts Tolt files 1099s for eligible US partners.

Switching

13Can we migrate from Rewardful or another tool?

Yes. We import your partners, links, clicks, customers, commissions and coupons. Existing referral links keep working, and partners sign in with a magic link, so nobody creates a new account.

14How is Tolt different from Rewardful or FirstPromoter?

Every Tolt plan includes a branded portal on your own domain. On every plan, Tolt pays your affiliates for you and files their 1099s, and it connects to Stripe, Paddle and Chargebee alike. Rewardful and FirstPromoter leave some of that to higher plans or out.
