Tolt

Your SaaS Needs an Affiliate Program. Yesterday.

You built a great product. Now you need users. But marketing is a huge time sink. What if an army of fans sold your SaaS for you? That's the dream of affiliate marketing. Most tools for this are clunky. Or they cost a fortune. Or they're built for e-commerce, not SaaS.

Tolt is different. It’s built specifically for SaaS startups. It hooks directly into your payment processor. It just works. You can set up a full program in less than 15 minutes. This isn't an exaggeration. I timed it. This is for founders who want growth on autopilot.

If you use Stripe, Paddle, or Chargebee, keep reading. This might be the easiest growth lever you pull all year.

Key Features

Branded Affiliate Portal

Your affiliate portal shouldn't look generic. Tolt lets you fully brand the affiliate experience. Change the colors and logo. Make it feel like your app. You can even host it on your own subdomain. This makes your partners feel truly integrated. It builds trust and looks way more professional.

15-Minute Setup

This is the most insane part. Tolt’s integration is wildly fast. You connect your Stripe, Paddle, or Chargebee account. You add a small snippet of code. That’s it. It offers both client-side and server-side options. So it works with any tech stack. No complex engineering needed. You can literally launch your program during a coffee break.

Automatic Payouts

Paying affiliates is a massive headache. Tolt automates the entire process. It syncs with your payment processor. It knows when a customer subscribes. It knows when they cancel or get a refund. You can pay affiliates in bulk via PayPal or Wise. Or even better? Enable auto-payouts. Tolt will pay your affiliates for you. You do nothing. This feature alone is worth the price.

SaaS-Specific Logic

Tolt understands SaaS business models. You can offer percentage-based recurring commissions. Or you can offer fixed-rate commissions. It handles trials, upgrades, and churn automatically. The dashboard gives you the stats that matter. See affiliate conversion rates. Track earnings per affiliate. It’s all designed for MRR growth, not one-off sales.

Pricing & Value

Tolt has a 14-day free trial. You can test everything. Pricing is based on the revenue Tolt generates for you. The Starter plan is $29/month. This covers up to $500 in affiliate-generated revenue. The Growth plan is $79/month for up to $2,500. It’s a no-brainer. If your affiliates make you money, Tolt pays for itself many times over. It's cheaper than one bad ad campaign.

Is it worth it? Absolutely. The time saved on manual payouts and tracking is immense. You're paying for a system that runs itself. It’s an investment in passive growth. For any early-stage SaaS, this is a steal.

User Experience

The interface is clean and simple. It’s not bloated with features you'll never use. Everything is just a few clicks away. Managing affiliates is easy. Approving new ones is fast. The dashboard is intuitive. You can see who your top performers are instantly. It feels like a modern tool built for busy founders, not enterprise dinosaurs.

Developer/Founder Experience

For founders, Tolt is a dream. It removes a huge operational burden. Instead of managing spreadsheets, you manage relationships. The setup is genuinely simple. The documentation is clear. One founder reported making $20,000 in their first month using Tolt. It slots right into your workflow without disruption. The biggest gotcha? You'll wish you had started sooner. It just works in the background, driving sales.

Final Verdict

If you run a SaaS using Stripe, Paddle, or Chargebee, try Tolt right now. Seriously. Stop what you're doing and sign up for the trial. It’s one of the fastest, most affordable ways to build a new customer acquisition channel. The only dealbreaker? If you don't use their supported payment gateways.

For everyone else, this is a must-have tool. It’s simple, powerful, and built for you. Go launch your affiliate program.
