Affiliate referrals for crowdfunding
Kickbooster turns backers into affiliates during a Kickstarter or Indiegogo campaign, tracking their referral links and paying commission once the campaign funds. Running that by hand across a few hundred backers is the problem it exists to remove. Pricing is monthly plus a percentage of the revenue affiliates bring, so a campaign that works pays more.

Affiliate tracking you run yourself
Tapfiliate is the affiliate layer for a business that already has checkout somewhere else, with integrations for Shopify, Stripe and about thirty other places a sale can happen. Recurring commissions and coupon tracking are on the entry plan, which is where most creator programs live. Multi-level structures and automated payouts sit a tier up.
