Fraud waits for you
FirstPromoter flags a suspicious sale. Our 12 rules hold its commission until you release it, with the evidence attached.

FirstPromoter pays sub-affiliates up to 3 levels. We track the tree but don't pay on it yet.

FirstPromoter sends PayPal and Stripe payouts in one click. We export the run and you send it.
No card to try
FirstPromoter starts a trial without a card. Our cloud trial asks for one.
Braintree

Our data, from the import code
Moving from FirstPromoter: what comes with you
Exactly what the import reads from your FirstPromoter export, and what stays behind.
- 01Export your CSVs
Download affiliates, and referrals if you have them, from FirstPromoter. Commissions are optional: they're read for the review only.
- 02See the dry run
Upload them in the admin screen. You get counts, clashing codes and emails, and the fraud our rules find in your FirstPromoter history. The review writes nothing.
- 03Import, with undo
One batch creates your affiliates and codes. Undo removes the batch, until money has moved against it.
Comes with you
- Each affiliate's email, name, status and coupon
- Their FirstPromoter codes, so ?fpr= links keep crediting them
- Referred customers with a Stripe customer id, bound to their affiliate for life
Stays in FirstPromoter
- Balances and unpaid commissions. Pay those out in FirstPromoter first
- Past payouts and invoices
- Settings, which you set once in the admin screen

What are the best FirstPromoter alternatives?
Rewardful and Tolt cover the same Stripe setups. AffiliateTracking is the one with no revenue or affiliate caps, fraud holds before payout and a self-host option.
Is AffiliateTracking cheaper than FirstPromoter?
At $5,000 a month in affiliate revenue, both cost $588 a year on cloud. Past that, FirstPromoter moves you to Business at $99 a month and we stay at $49.
Do my FirstPromoter links keep working?
Yes. Import your affiliates and codes, then add data-param="fpr" to our script tag. Old ?fpr= links record clicks and credit the right affiliate.
Do you pay sub-affiliates like FirstPromoter?
Not yet. We record who recruited whom, but commissions go to the direct affiliate only.
