Tapfiliate
Affiliate & referral tracking software for eCommerce & SaaS
4,5 /5 (39 reviews) Write a Review!
The best Cloud-Based Affiliate Tracking Software that I've used so far!
Pros
1) User Interface: Tapfiliate has a wonderfully laid out and robust looking user interface that is easy to understand and adapt to. This is, however, just my opinion. A few of my colleagues think otherwise, but our affiliate division seems to love the software.
2) Set-Up & Integration: Tapfiliate allows you to establish your own affiliate program within minutes. It is also very easy to implement your tracking code to your website, after which you can start recruiting affiliates immediately.
3) No Holes In Your Bucket: Tapfiliate, unlike other similar software, doesn't charge you a transaction fee! Instead, they have different pricing modules that are based on the number of affiliates you have, clicks, impressions, conversions, etc. I think that's pretty fair.
4) Motivate Your Fleet: Tapfiliate makes it possible to give your affiliates short and beautiful looking links that don't look cluttered and chunky. But that's not all! You can give your affiliates their own promo codes to share and also reward them for it. There is also an enhanced social affiliate sharing feature that's available to use.
5) Versatility: Tapfiliate allows you to maintain more than one group of affiliates at a time. What makes this software really versatile is that you can pay your affiliates in different currencies!
6) Top Notch Customer Service: Customer Success Representatives are quite understanding and very patient and respond very quickly.
Cons
1) Slight Learning Curve: For most people who are new to the whole process of setting up an affiliate program, there's a possibility that there would be a slight learning curve involved. Of course, after that has been achieved, Tapfiliate can be very straightforward and fun to use.
2) Newsletters: I wish that there was an inbuilt feature for this purpose. Currently, I use MailChimp to send out affiliate newsletters. Still not a deal breaker, though.
There's still room for improvement
It's a good tool, does what it has to do for a good price, but a UX designer could improve a lot on it. Sometimes I stumble upon odd icons that mean something very different from what they do. Some of the settings are oddly placed and they are hard to find unless you use them daily. Nothing frustrating though.
I'd say that Tapfiliate is a really good option - but I'm sure there are better tools out there too.
Pros
Tapfiliate is fairly simple to set up and manage. It has enough features without being overwhelmingly feature-rich. Support is very quick and friendly. The team listens to feedback and they try to improve the software.
The tool pretty much pays for itself, as our Affiliate Program - even though it's a small one - brings in more value than the product costs.
Cons
I preferred the previous dashboard - it was easier to see the important KPIs at a glance. The Asset library could be improved, as it is a bit hard to browse and manage. Navigation and settings are a bit silly here and there. It's more funny than annoying.
THE BEST AFFILIATE THAT GIVES TRACKS
this affiliate software beat much other software I have ever use for affiliate marketing ..it works for both big and small website or blog, just name it .and with a sweet plan for any amount you are capable of ..affiliate welcome new users with free 14 days trial, which I even used to make my first sale on it ...it a really great software.....
Pros
THE software interface is a very simple and straightforward one that can be set up with no coding experience within some minutes and it actively working .as well as the ability to put a tracking code on the affiliate on the website.it amazing and great. I also love the aspect of giving our affiliate a future where the link can be customized and make short for easy sharing and ability for the referral having our own promo code...lastly the payments and charges are super cool, giving no extra charges after any plan you purchase.
Cons
there should be a newsletter attached to the software for direct contact with the email list .it would have made it so easy and more useful .....then the new interface after the upgrade should give room to navigate better than the way it limiting the settings and important KPI glace look....please improve that
Tapfiliate
Pros
For basic integrations, getting up and running with Tapfiliate should be very straightforward. They have a built in affiliate portal with assets you can upload.
Cons
We have a complex integration case. We have a subscription SaaS product and each time someone that is referred pays, we want to add onto the conversion amount. This case should be covered by Tapfiliate (by hooking in with the Stripe Webhook in our case), and we've followed the API instructions to a T, but with no success. We've reached out multiple times to Tapfiliate and we have received no response over the course of 12 months.
Response from Tapfiliate
Hi there! Thank you for writing to us!
May I ask which channel you used to reach out to us? We handle all our inquiries through our support chat.
Also, just last week we released a new Stripe Integration that can automatically handle SaaS recurring cases. You'll no longer need to call in a developer to set this up on your end. :-) You can check out the new integration here --> https://tapfiliate.com/docs/integrations/stripe/
We'd really appreciate if you could get in touch to discuss your situation, and we'll be happy to get you on the right track.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Unbelievable
Where do I begin? I was new to using an affiliate tracking software, and after trying to work with a competitor, the support people at Tapfiliate were an unbelievable breath of fresh air. I initially worked with Matthew and Julie but then mostly with Imran. Despite numerous back and forths in which at times I wondered if they had "enough of me", they were always so patient and unperturbed, and willing to explain whatever confusions I had that particular day in the development of their service for my unique needs. I am trying to see if affiliate marketing will work to get more clients in my legal practice. I could absolutely count on a quick reply, but being in the U.S. (and with Tapfiliate in The Netherlands), that usually meant looking forward to a reply the following morning. I discovered Tapfiliate through my use of Zapier.com, where they have preset integrations that are very useful... but was really surprised that they went above and beyond that in also creating the API code I needed to integrate with my use of Calendly.com (that was new to them), so that conversions were possible when someone made a phone appointment with my online calendar at calendly.com. This was done without any additional cost! I could go on forever... but one thing I was amazed at... despite English being Imran's third language (as I had inquired), I never would have known in our many email correspondences.
Anyway, I kept wondering how they could have been so responsive and helpful, as I assumed that they have hundreds of companies using their platform. Well, maybe I was unusual type that needed more hand-holding. :-) Well, if you are, don't be afraid to use this powerful approach to increasing sales, or in my case, to generate more clients.
Pros
Hmmm, I think I said it all in my review.
Cons
For some, I guess like me, there is a learning curve to find the right navigation to do what I wanted to do. That is, there are navigations within navigations that takes some time to figure out how to get around. Once that learning curve is achieved, very straightforward and fun to use.
Great Software
It's great. Really like the service and the team are always available via Intercom if needs be.
Pros
As a tech company, we always look at the API documentation to see how sophisticated the platform is. With Tapfiliate, it ticked all of the boxes we needed. At first, there was one feature, recruitment, that wasn't available. But within a matter of months, it was live and ready for us to use.
Cons
It's not really a con, but it would be nice to be able to have a single sign-on feature within the API. We have a platform community of over 2.3 million users. These users would expect to use our login details to access the affiliate portal. As I say, not a con, just more a nice to have (whilst I appreciate that kind of development is far from a 5 min job).
Its the Customer support I find outstanding especially [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]
Its great for tracking signups
Pros
Its easy of use and the trigger functionality
Cons
not being able to separate the signups - we offer different packages
Great software
Pros
This software is extremely easy to use and can be customized for our affiliates needs. The user interface for the affiliates provides a nice training module as well.
Cons
That I cannot automatically pay from it. Also, the links don't always track affiliate conversions which is I use discount codes.
Very Good Software
It makes payouts easier.
Pros
Product works very well but like it to give me clicks count on each affiliate.
Cons
Does not give me clicks count on all affiliates.
Great solution for easy affiliate program implementation
We have used Tapfiliate for years now and we love it. The app is easy to use and makes managing our affiliate program simple for our team. Payouts are fairly quick and making changes to the program is easy as well. Highly recommend!
Pros
Ease of use in all areas; payouts, implementation of our affiliate program, little touch when new affiliates come on, reporting
Cons
There is nothing we don’t like at this point, especially since the newest updates
Awesome Affiliate Platform/Software
We have been using Tapfiliate for about 3 years now and we are VERY happy with them.
We originally switched to Tapfiliate because our affiliate platform at the time (Leaddyno), did not have features we needed to help us grow and were not willing to helping us find a work around or implement needed features.
When I reached out to Tapfiliate, asking about the features we were looking for, they explained what features they had and explained they would be adding more features in the future that would help us achieve our goal. We continued working with them while we made the switch and have been happy since.
Thomas is who we worked with a lot in the beginning and have worked with multiple individuals since, we have been extremely happy with everyones willingness to listen and willingness to help us. The willingness to listen and help us achieve our goals have been a huge factor in why we have stayed and will continue to stay with Tapfiliate.
A little about the software itself, gorgeous and simple layout, very user friendly and pretty straightforward. They are based out of europe, so responses are not instant (we are in Los Angeles) but their customer service is always helpful and on point.
I highly recommend using Tapfiliate to help you achieve your affiliate goals, you will not be disappointed!
Sincerely,
Cristina

Pros
-Gorgeous simple, user friendly layout
-Ability to have more than one group of affiliates
-Ability to be able to pay affiliates different currencies (bitcoin & discounts are just 2 out of multiple other options)
Cons
-Cannot send affiliate newsletters in the software (we use mailchimp to do this)
Excellent Affiliate Tracking Tool for Business
Last year I made the rounds and tried all the top players while seeking a tool for a reasonable price. Most tools had similar basic features yet the entire startup experience was very different. The critical factor is that it must be easy to setup and share the program in a modern interface. The dated design of many affiliate tools today means the relationship feels old before it even starts. The mobile friendly minimal experience with Tapfiliate hooked me early and I continued to check off the features that worked right.
Pros
1. Quick Setup
2. Beautiful Interface
3. Easy program configuration and customization
4. Quick Website Integration
5. Great Support*
I mean great support! Other ambassador tool programs sent me to API docs without any custom assistance. That's great when I have the development team involved, but this was my executive project and the Tapfiliate support team customized the code needed to give me tracking to match my existing lead process.
Best Experience Ever
So I just recently got into the affiliate space, and stumbled upon Tapfiliate. Right off the bat, it was super easy to integrate into my services (www.jatch.co) - didn't even need to consult any customer support. I however wanted to branch out and do some much more complex tracking / commission structures, and their support staff was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Great response time, solved every single question I asked (I had a lot), and when I didn't know what code I needed to put where, they did it for me. Great program and great service!
Pros
Amazing customer support team
Easy integration
Amazing capability for more complex features
Gorgeous and modern portal for affiliates
Cons
really don't have any (just the code stuff was confusing at times but the support team helped so much!)
Tapfiliate Keeps Getting Better and Better
Our business has been using Tapfiliate for about a year now after moving over from another platform, and I can't think of one bad thing to say about them.
The product is brilliant, and always improving, and feature requests are taken on board and implemented quickly. The price is fantastic compared to other commercial platforms, and the customer service is second to none.
Thomas helped with every question I had, implemented a ton of feature requests, and was generally an all round cool guy to deal with.
Congrats on this amazing product Thomas, I wish you all the success in the world, and thanks for such a great product that is easy to use :)
Pros
Brilliant customer service
Easy to use product
Fast and responsive customer service
Great price
Cons
Couldn't think of any
Absolutely fantastic service with high-quality support at all times
Huge affiliate network growth and revenue for my business.
Pros
The support and people behind Tapfiliate. They are always looking to make Tapfiliate better and come up with new cool and easier to use features frequently.
Cons
The coding, if you don't have one of the many integrations that they already have set up. But support have helped me the whole way with this!
User friendly software, excellent customer support
Pros
This is the first time I am using an affiliate management software, but Tapfiliate is very intuitive, they have a detailed knowledge base, and an extremely helpful customer support team, who really went the extra mile to help me with any issue or request I had. I have been communicating mostly with one of the customers rep, and I am highly impressed by her timely responses and the human touch she adds to each conversation. I would definitely recommend the software to others.
Cons
What I think can be improved is the knowledge base structure: it was sometimes difficult to get oriented in the list of topics, so looking up an article was taking me longer.
Tapfiliate Review
I've been able to generate more affiliates' sales using this service. The automation process offloads the burden of having to track manually.
Pros
Tapfiliate offers an excellent affiliate program tracking solution. The service provides me with the tools needed to effectively manage my website affiliates. My affiliates can easily promote products and services to their audiences with an intuitive dashboard and a collection of reporting tools to keep track of their progress.
Cons
Some integrations need code deployment, which could be a difficult task for beginners but thanks to their support system, they are alaways avalialable to help
Saved my Bacon.
Amazingly simple to integrate with my existing business model and development plans
Pros
I’m not a techy or an affiliate marketing expert. Held my breath and have it a go. Awesome. I set up the entire platform myself. Assistance and support from the Tapfiliate team is outstanding. If I can do this. ANYBODY CAN.
Cons
Price could be a little bit less. But time will tell. Maybe the BEST thing I ever bought.
works well!!
Pros
The application allowed me to work on my affiliate programs much better than I expected. Managing my clickbank became much less complex.
Cons
It is a pity that they themselves don't have any affiliate program, otherwise, it would've been fantastic in my opinion.
Great Customer Support
Anytime there was an issue, question, or problem, their customer service always handled the issue - no questions asked. They have went above and beyond normal customer service numerous times. I've only had good experiences with this company!
Pros
Easy to use. Great support. All the features you need for affiliate or mlm
Stay away from this company
Maybe one of the worst experiences I had with an online software company.
Never start a demo with them if you are not 100% sure that the software meets your needs, or they will steal your money. It is a shame how a supposedly serious company has this policy of forcing you to enter the card details in order to see the features since they do not explain anything previously.
We will start automatically billing, even if you never used the service. And even telling them the situation, they didn't agree on the refund.
This case shows what type of company it is and the lack of empathy and closeness, all they want is your money.
Pros
Before checking the product, the best thing from outside was the design.
Cons
We didn't be able to know if they had network features before entering our credit card. They started charging whitout sending a simple email. Their funnel is built for getting your money even if you don't use the solution. They only want your money, that's it.
[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] Is AWESOME
Excellent
Pros
Listen I had been researching companies for over 6 months to find the best fit for what we are looking to offer and the direction of our company. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] was beyond patient with my answering my questions and ensuring that I had a full understanding.
Cons
I Can not complain about anything with their services
Excellent Product & Service
We have nothing but good things to say about Tapfiliate. It integrated seamlessly with our SquareSpace store and has helped us drive sales through our affiliate relationships. Further, we have had outstanding and personalized support and service from Julie, our support liaison at Tapfiliate. If you're looking for an affiliate platform, we really couldn't recommend it more highly.
Pros
We were looking for an affiliate platform to integrate seamlessly with Squarespace. We found an excellent solution in Tapfiliate. The dashboard is clear and straightforward. Additionally, our affiliates have had no issues or challenges with the simple registration process.
Cons
Tapfiliate does require a small bit of code injection in order to work properly. That being said, their customer support is outstanding and they will gladly walk you through the code deployment process.
The best affiliate management tool
Pros
This platform seamlessly offers your affiliates and publishers the tools they need to promote your businesses' products and services online. This platform is amazingly designed and offers so many features to affiliates that it's hard for them to fail with your network if they try!
Cons
There are less libraries available to view marketing materials from multiple vendors as an affiliate
Excellent affiliate software
Pros
This is one of the best applications for managing your affiliate programs. Honestly speaking, the updates are made the quickest over here.
Cons
I feel that somethings seem counter-intuitive and that's something which could be improved upon. Other than that, all's good.
Response from Tapfiliate
Thanks for the kind words! We're aware of some UX quirks and are very actively working on resolving these. We have major overhauls coming up that will be addressing these issues.
Tapfiliate has played an instrumental role in setting up and growing our affiliate network. Since we deal with a SaaS product, sometimes I feel as if Tapfiliate was tailor-made for us! I love how they have given equal priority to the administrators as well as the affiliates who use our network. Apart from work purposes, I also use Tapfiliate on a personal basis for my Shopify store (which highlights how easy is it to integrate Tapfiliate with almost any platform that you are working with).
TIP: If you are new to Affiliate marketing, you can make use of the free 14-day trial to get the hang of things, while working on your learning curve. However, you're going to have to select a payment option before you start your trial.
