Add affiliate links to your projects in seconds
I want to give back to the indiehacker community and help with the marketing effort by building an affiliate link platform for indiehackers.
Specs:
- Manage affiliates and create new links
- Payout to affiliates
- Docs to add functionality to project
Something simple, easy to setup with minimal code, and most of all free to start.
Have you considered using affiliate links before?
I have and there's 0 native NPM packages that are actually good. The popular solutions are all ugly js snippet type.
For a winning solution, you need some way to set, capture cookies and distribute commissions reliably.
A big pain point I have is I don't want to chase someone down for money if I helped a company get customers. There should be and easy way to see sales attributed to me and the money should show up automatically without the owner doing manual invoicing etc.
Btw there's a new Stripe feature launching Stripe apps that you might want to jump on since your customers likely will be using them for payment processing.
I tried to build them myself. The hardest part is I wanted to calculate the profit the affiliate made and give the affiliate a percentage of the profit but with stripe and connect the profit is really difficult to calculate.
