Q: What is the difference between the Starter and Pro plans?
A: The primary differences between our Starter and Pro plans are the scale of your affiliate program, the variety of promotional tools available to your affiliates, and the transaction fees for using Auto-pay.
Here is a detailed breakdown of the key distinctions:
Program Scale and Limits
Starter Plan: Designed for new and simple programs. It is restricted to 1 affiliate group and a maximum of 10 active affiliates.
Pro Plan: Built for growing businesses. It allows for unlimited affiliates and unlimited groups, enabling you to scale your program and segment affiliates into different commission tiers.
Promotional Tools and Features
The Pro plan unlocks several advanced features that are not available on the Starter plan:
Custom Links: While the Starter plan provides standard referral links (e.g.,
yourstore.com/r?id=ie3ejs), the Pro plan allows you and your affiliates to create branded, custom links (e.g.,yourstore.com/bestdeals).Discount Code Tracking: You can generate unique discount codes for each affiliate. When a customer uses one of these codes at checkout, the affiliate is credited with the referral automatically.
Product-Specific Commissions: This feature gives you the flexibility to set different commission rates for specific products or variants, overriding the group's default rate.
Permanent Customer Connection: You can link a customer to their referring affiliate for all future purchases, ensuring the affiliate is rewarded for the long-term value they create.
Auto-pay Fees
The Pro plan offers significantly lower fees for processing commission payouts via our Autopay feature.
Starter Plan Fees:
Using a bank account: 8.9%
Using a credit card: 14.9%
Pro Plan Fees:
Using a bank account: 3.9%
Using a credit card: 8.9%
In summary, the Starter plan is a great starting point for basic link tracking, while the Pro plan provides the advanced tools, scale, and lower fees necessary to manage and grow a more sophisticated affiliate program.
