Learn More About Affiliate Software

What is Affiliate Software?

Affiliate marketing software provides a way for businesses to organize and grow their connections and relationships with affiliate partners/advertisers. Some businesses have a large number of affiliates they work with. Affiliate software solutions have been created to help marketers organize and keep track of affiliate business partners.

Companies of all sizes are looking for unique ways to sell their products and expand their audiences. Individuals such as bloggers, influencers, and celebrities dominate the world of social media in today’s digital world. They are capable of reaching thousands of viewers within seconds, thus businesses have gained interest in having these affiliates market their products on their behalf for an agreed-upon commission.

In addition to tracking and organizing affiliate relationships, affiliate software can process the payments between the business and advertising partners. This allows both parties to focus on marketing the product or service, rather than needing to worry about payments and commission checks.

Some features of affiliate marketing software may overlap with partner management software, which also keeps track of relationships between affiliates, channel partners, and businesses.

Affiliate Software Features

Affiliate software has several features that help businesses manage their relationship with affiliate marketers and advertisers. They include:

  • Affiliate Tracking
  • Affiliate Network
  • Affiliate Management
  • Commission Management and Payouts
  • Custom Links
  • Email Updates
  • Referral link generator

Affiliate Software Comparison

Before deciding to purchase an affiliate software solution, consider the following key points:

  • Ease of Use: The main goal of purchasing an affiliate marketing product is to simplify the affiliate management process. Therefore it’s critical to choose a product that will be easy for your team to use. Consider choosing a product that will have a small learning curve, as it will likely be the main source of communication with affiliates.
  • Length of Contracts: The relationship between your business and the affiliates you work with is not guaranteed to last. Therefore, you may not want to get locked into a long-term contract for affiliate software. Affiliate marketing strategies may differ between businesses, but it’s worth keeping in mind the ability to pay month-to-month or needing a long-term contract when choosing a product.
  • Multi-Campaigns: Your software must allow you to run several different campaigns at once. You do not want to feel limited by the number of affiliates you can partner with, as that also limits your marketing outreach and future revenue. Research the vendor’s ability to run multiple campaigns before purchasing a product.

Pricing Information

Pricing for affiliate software products can vary depending on the number of features you require. Platforms that have fewer features and are designed for small and midsize businesses tend to start at $95 per month.

More extensive platforms can cost up to $500 per month. These platforms have more advanced features and usually allow unlimited affiliates. Many of the vendors offer upgrading and downgrading plans at any time. Most vendors also offer a free trial of their software.
