Affonso

Affonso.io has the feel of a tool built by someone who’s run affiliate programs and gotten sick of the messy spreadsheets, late payouts, and tracking headaches. It’s designed for SaaS and SaaS-adjacent businesses, and it aims to automate most of what makes affiliate management painful.

From the moment you start, the experience leans toward speed: you can integrate your payment system (Stripe, Polar.sh, Creem, etc.) and drop in a lightweight tracking snippet, and Affonso handles attribution, commission logic, and affiliate crediting behind the scenes.

Once it’s live, Affonso offers affiliate portals where your partners see real-time clicks, conversions, and earnings. They also get access to marketing assets (banners, links, promo materials) in one place.

It supports flexible commission models—fixed, percentage, one-time or recurring pay—as well as automatically handling refunds, cancellations, and upgrades so that the commission logic remains accurate.

To help you scale, Affonso has features like:

• Multi-program support (you can run affiliate programs across different products or lines from one interface)
• Fraud protection (self-referral detection, suspicious activity flags)
• Automated payouts or manual options (PayPal, Wise, crypto)
• Multi-currency support, invoice generation for affiliates, and compliance in payout workflows
• An “Affiliate Finder” (AI-powered discovery) tool that suggests content creators or potential partners already active in your niche (e.g. on TikTok, LinkedIn, X) to help you broaden the program without cold outreach. 
• Detailed analytics: full click → conversion attribution, sub-parameter tracking, and reporting that helps you see what affiliates or links are working best. 
• Tiered commission planning: a tool to simulate and manage tier structures (Bronze, Silver, Gold, etc.), automatically promote affiliates to higher tiers, and forecast payout vs profit.

  Because the setup and integration are designed to be frictionless, you can get your program live in minutes, not days.

  Of course, no platform is perfect. Affonso is relatively new and doesn’t yet have a large footprint of long-term user reviews, so there’s still less public feedback on extreme scale use cases. Because many things are automated, it’s crucial that your integration, webhook setup, and refund logic are tested thoroughly — any missteps can ripple into misattributed commissions. And if your affiliate program requires ultra-custom deals, deep multi-tier strategies, or integrations with very bespoke systems, you’ll want to confirm those use cases.
