Affiliate Programs Statistics Tracker

I built a Chrome extension that monitors any affiliate page (without API access) and notifies you when a new $ or lead comes in.

Just shipped a new version, here’s what changed:

• Finally ditched my horrible Paint 3D icon → replaced with a proper ChatGPT-generated one

• Added notifications for custom affiliate programs (this was a big one)

Some small but motivating traction:

• 161 installs / 8 uninstalls in ~3 months

• 1 real user who uses it consistently (and I’ve done zero marketing so far)

Funny part:
I tried posting/commenting in affiliate marketing subreddits, but my comments keep getting removed (even though the product is freemium 😅)

Would love advice from the Indie Hackers community:
👉 what’s the most lazy-efficient way to promote something like this?

Happy to answer any questions or share more details!

As an affiliate marketer with more than 10 years of experience, I’ve struggled with one recurring problem: dozens of affiliate dashboards that I had to manually check every day.
How many conversions today?
How many leads?
Any new sales?

Jumping between all those pages was time-consuming, distracting, and honestly—pretty annoying.

So I decided to build the product I always needed.

What surprised me the most was that the Chrome Web Store had nothing even remotely similar. No tool that simply checks your daily stats across affiliate platforms. So I built it myself.

🚀 Without any advertising, the extension got 4 installs on day one, and another five over the next couple of days. The extension is only 3–4 days old now (around 5 if you include the very first buggy version), and the early interest already tells me there was a gap in the market.

While working on this extension, I really wanted to integrate an affiliate program into it.
Turns out Chrome extensions + Stripe don’t work with standard affiliate systems — only coupon-based flows are allowed. That’s why I ended up integrating Promokit. I honestly recommend it: the setup takes just 2–3 minutes, but the price is pretty steep at $39/month.

Because of that, I’m now building my own affiliate SaaS platform with Stripe integration, priced at $8.99/month, launching later in December. It will support coupon-based affiliate tracking specifically tailored for extensions, digital products, and lightweight SaaS tools.

As for the extension itself:

• built with JavaScript, CSS, and HTML

• collects zero user data

• everything is stored locally in the browser

• no registration required

• Stripe integration powered by ExtensionPay

Simple, fast, private, and created out of real frustration.

If you're an affiliate marketer, or manage multiple dashboards, this tool was literally built for us. Let me know if you want to test it or get early access to the upcoming SaaS version.

PS. It notifies you of every sale/conversion or lead (fully adjustable) with a loud child's laughter to signal you of close happiness ahead :)
