LinkJolt is affiliate program software for SaaS companies. Affiliates get a unique tracking link and optionally a discount code, and each Paddle transaction they refer is credited to them, including renewals for recurring commissions. When Paddle processes a refund or chargeback, the commission is reduced or reversed automatically.
Affiliates track their links, codes and earnings in their own branded portal, and merchants can list their program in the LinkJolt Discovery marketplace to be found by new affiliates. Payouts run through Stripe Connect or a CSV export for PayPal and Wise. Plans start at $19.99 a month after a 7-day free trial (card required), and LinkJolt takes 0% of affiliate sales on every plan.
Use Cases
- First Affiliate Program on Paddle: Connect Paddle, create a campaign and invite affiliates in a few minutes.
- Switching Affiliate Software: Import affiliates with their status, payout email and link handle, then turn off the old tool once sales arrive in LinkJolt.
- Cutting Affiliate Costs: Run an affiliate program for a flat monthly fee instead of paying a percentage of affiliate revenue.
Key Features
- Link and Discount Code Tracking: Give each affiliate a tracking link and register Paddle discounts to them, so sales from audiences that never click a link are still credited.
- Recurring Commissions: Pay affiliates on every renewal, for life or capped by months or payments (Professional plan and above).
- Refund and Chargeback Handling: Full refunds and chargebacks reverse the commission, partial refunds reduce it, and won chargebacks restore it.
- Affiliate Payouts: Pay affiliates through Stripe Connect in the US, UK, EEA, Canada and Switzerland, or export a CSV for PayPal and Wise.
- Branded Affiliate Portal: Affiliates see their links, codes and earnings in a portal with your logo, on your own domain on the Ultimate and Scale plans.
- Migration from Other Tools: Import affiliates from Rewardful, Tolt, FirstPromoter or Affonso, and the links they already shared keep tracking.
Paddle Integration
Connects to Paddle Billing with an API key that is used once to create a notification destination for the events LinkJolt needs and is not stored. A tracking script on your site and one customData line in Paddle.Checkout.open() pass the referring affiliate to Paddle, and sales are recorded server-side from Paddle's transaction notifications. Paddle discounts registered to an affiliate are credited without any checkout change. Sandbox transactions are recorded as test sales. Paddle Classic is not supported.
