FirstPromoter can't apply separate commissions to more than one item in a cart. Partnersify can.
If a customer buys more than one item in a cart, FirstPromoter is unable to apply different commission rewards to each product. They apply commission rules on the invoice level. Partnersify operates on the line-item level, allowing you to build more attractive affiliate offers that motivate partners and protect your ROI.
- Handle multi-item checkouts with easeProcess different commission rates when customers have multi-item carts. Example: 30% commission to a subscription and a flat $50 to an eBook. FirstPromoter can't do this because they calculate on the entire invoice, while Partnersify has granular control on each line-item.
- Copy a high-converting affiliate offerHaving trouble choosing a good affiliate offer? Choose from a variety of templates inspired by NordVPN, HubSpot, ConvertKit, and more. From flat bounties to tiered commissions based on performance, build your affiliate program with Partnersify to be attractive from day 1.
- Build your offer in plain EnglishSkip the legacy software with confusing form fields. Build your affiliate program using Partnersify's intuitive interface that reads like a normal sentence, 'Mad-Libs' style. Helpful defaults are already set for you from the start.
- Gamify your program with affiliate tiersSet performance goals that level up your affiliates to Bronze / Silver / Gold, rewarding your best partners and motivating everyone to promote you harder.
- Tag specific products to commissionGroup products by tags so you can set commission rules that only apply to them. Avoid awarding too much or too little on specific products, and split them by interval (monthly, annual, one-time).
- Time-limited campaigns to boost affiliatesCreate a seasonal offer (for example, a Black Friday week) that offers your affiliates a higher commission for sales made that week. Great for motivating affiliates to promote you during the busiest holiday seasons when it matters most.
Questions before deciding
FirstPromoter limits your affiliates and restricts basic features behind a $49/mo paywall. Partnersify gives you unlimited affiliates on all plans, including our free tier. We also built a much more powerful commission engine. FirstPromoter calculates commissions on the entire invoice. Partnersify calculates at the line-item level, meaning you can reward different rates for different products in the exact same cart.
No. The payment calculations and affiliate tracking are handled by Partnersify. All you need is to paste our lightweight affiliate tracking script into your Google Tag Manager or site header.
Yes. Our tracking script is fully compatible with modern single page applications and headless setups. We provide guided setup wizards with framework-specific instructions for Next.js, Nuxt, Webflow, WordPress, and more so client-side routing never breaks your attribution.
By default, the tracking cookie lasts for 30 days. But we give you full control to change this. You can adjust the cookie lifespan on a per-campaign basis to match your specific sales cycle.
Yes. While FirstPromoter locks custom domains behind their $99/mo plan, Partnersify lets you use a custom subdomain like affiliates.yourdomain.com for as little as $9/mo. Your affiliates get a fully white-labeled, professional portal that looks like an in-house build.
Yes. Partnersify is a comprehensive Stripe affiliate tracking software. It automatically handles recurring subscription tracking, one-time payments, and custom invoices. You can even set rules to only pay commission on the first payment or limit it to the first 12 months.
You will never pay out a commission on a refunded sale. Partnersify listens to Stripe webhooks in the background. If a chargeback or refund occurs, the system instantly catches it and voids the affiliate commission automatically.
We built automated self-referral blocking directly into the software. If an affiliate tries to use their own link to get a discount, and their billing email matches their affiliate email, the system automatically blocks the commission.
No. We provide the SaaS affiliate software to build and run your own program. The best way to get affiliates is simply adding a "Join our Partner Program" link in your welcome emails. Turn your existing happy users into brand ambassadors on autopilot.
Yes. Unlike other tools that charge you before you even launch, Partnersify is completely free until you reach $100 a month in referred revenue. It removes all the risk of starting a program. Once you grow, our flat-rate pricing scales predictably based on referred revenue.
Forget legacy software. Build an affiliate program that converts.
Unlimited affiliates, a powerful commission engine, and a generous free tier only with Partnersify.
