$0 to start · pay only when you sell

Let people who love your brand sell it for you.

Bloggers, creators and fans share your products with a special link. When someone buys, they earn a small reward and you get a new customer. We set the whole thing up for you — free to start, just 1% when a sale happens.

New to affiliate marketing?

It's word-of-mouth, with a thank-you.

Here's the whole idea in five steps.

  1. You sell something
    A shop, a service or a booking — anything people buy online.
  2. Someone recommends you
    A blogger, creator or happy customer shares their own special link.
  3. A follower clicks
    AFFN quietly notes who sent that visitor to your site.
  4. They buy
    The sale is matched back to the person who recommended you.
  5. You both win
    They earn a thank-you commission. You only pay when a real sale happens.

Promoters are real people

Think of a creator reviewing your product, a blog listing "best gifts," or a loyal customer telling friends. AFFN gives each of them a personal link, counts every sale they bring, and tells you exactly what you owe them.

You approve who promotes you, and you pay them directly.

How it works

We build it. You grow it.

01

Tell us about your brand

Your website, store platform, products and the commission you want to offer.

02

We set everything up

Your logo and branded partner page, standard terms, commission rules and fraud protection — plus tracking steps made for your exact store.

03

You add one tracking snippet

About 5 minutes on Shopify, WooCommerce or Stripe. Forward the steps to your developer if you prefer, then send a test sale.

04

You launch and recruit

Invite partners, find new ones with Recruit, and pay them directly. You only pay 1% on approved sales.

Big-network power. None of the big-network bill.

Most affiliate apps charge a monthly bill before you make a single sale, then leave you to find partners yourself. AFFN costs nothing upfront and goes out and finds them for you.
