Most merchants are up and running in under 10 minutes. Sign up for free or check out our docs for a walkthrough.

Each affiliate gets a unique link, such as yoursite.com?via=abc123. When a visitor clicks it, the PromoteKit script stores the referral in a cookie, and when they purchase, the sale is attributed to that affiliate through Stripe. Read more in the affiliate links docs.

You create a coupon in Stripe and PromoteKit generates a unique promo code for each affiliate. When a customer uses an affiliate's code at checkout, the commission is credited to that affiliate. No website script is required. Read more in the promo codes docs.

One-click global payouts let you pay affiliates directly to their bank accounts in 100+ countries, powered by Stripe. Affiliates connect their bank account through Stripe from your affiliate portal and receive funds in their local currency. You fund payouts from your US bank account or a card, select the commissions you want to pay, and pay everyone at once.

Available on paid plans for organizations using USD. Learn more in the One-click global payouts docs.
