Where Tapfiliate is ahead
If one of these matters most to you, Tapfiliate may suit you better. That's fine.
Payouts through Trolley
Tapfiliate's Scale plan sends payouts for you through Trolley. We work out the run and you send it.
Multi-level from Scale
Tapfiliate pays multi-level commissions on its Scale plan. We track the tree but don't pay on it yet.
Your own blocklists
Tapfiliate lets you block IP addresses and domains by hand. Our rules find bad traffic for you, but there's no manual blocklist yet.
Ecommerce carts
Tapfiliate connects to Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce and more. We can't track sales from those checkouts yet.

Moving from Tapfiliate: what comes with you
Exactly what the import reads from your Tapfiliate export, and what stays behind.
- 01Export your CSVs
Download affiliates, and referrals if you have them, from Tapfiliate. 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 Tapfiliate 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 Tapfiliate codes, so ?ref= links keep crediting them
- Referred customers with a Stripe customer id, bound to their affiliate for life
Stays in Tapfiliate
- Balances and unpaid commissions. Pay those out in Tapfiliate first
- Past payouts and invoices
- Settings, which you set once in the admin screen
