2 builders who never spoke to each other
Run it on your payment processor
Recurring commission, signup and payouts are solved problems, and a hosted tool sitting on top of the payments you already take gets a programme live in about two days rather than a build. Check first that your platform allows standard tracking at all, because some do not.
The method
- 01
Stand up an affiliate and referral programme on top of your existing payment processor instead of building one.
- 02
Run the programme on Rewardful over Stripe so recurring commission, signup and payouts are handled for you.
What it returned
Rewardful plugs into Stripe and, in his description, gets a referral programme running in minutes with a plan for each stage of business.
About two days of work to get it running properly.

Three plays a week, for the phase you are in
No roundup of links, no news. Three tactics more than one builder arrived at separately, with the numbers each one returned and the disagreements left in.
