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 marketing built for Shopify stores
UpPromote installs into a Shopify store and turns customers into affiliates without anybody writing tracking code. Recruitment forms, coupon-based attribution and automated payouts all sit inside the admin a merchant already uses. The performance fee on top of the monthly price means a program that works costs more, which is either fair or annoying depending on the month.
