Discovery + Tracking

Affiliate tracking to use with Affistash

Affistash uses artificial intelligence to surface affiliate partners tailored to your product and market. It's a powerful discovery engine, but discovery is only the beginning. Trackli provides the tracking, attribution, and payout layer you need to actually run the program those affiliates join.

What Affistash does (and doesn't do)

What Affistash does
  • Uses AI to match your product with relevant affiliate partners based on audience overlap and content fit
  • Analyzes potential affiliates across social media, blogs, and websites to assess promotional quality
  • Delivers curated affiliate recommendations rather than raw lists, saving time on manual vetting
  • Provides contact information and outreach suggestions for recommended affiliates
  • Continuously learns from your preferences to improve future affiliate recommendations
What Affistash doesn't do
  • Does not track referral clicks or visitor activity from recruited affiliates
  • Does not attribute purchases or sign-ups to specific affiliate partners
  • Does not manage commission structures, calculations, or payment schedules
  • Does not offer an affiliate-facing portal or dashboard for partners

The gap: why you still need tracking

Affistash excels at helping you discover and recruit affiliates, but once a partner says “yes,” you need infrastructure to generate unique referral links, track clicks and conversions, calculate commissions, and manage payouts. That's exactly what Trackli provides.

How Affistash + Trackli work together

Affistash and Trackli work as sequential tools in your affiliate stack. Affistash operates at the discovery layer, using AI to identify and recommend affiliates matched to your product. Once an affiliate agrees to promote you, Trackli handles everything operational: link generation, click tracking, sales attribution via your payment processor, commission calculation, and payout management. There is no direct system-to-system integration; the workflow involves reviewing Affistash recommendations, recruiting those affiliates, and onboarding them into Trackli.

Frequently asked questions

How is Affistash different from a traditional affiliate network?
Affistash uses AI to proactively recommend affiliates matched to your product, rather than listing you in a marketplace where affiliates find you. It's a discovery tool, not a tracking or management platform. Trackli provides the tracking and management layer that turns Affistash discoveries into a functioning program.
Can Affistash track the performance of affiliates it recommends?
No. Affistash focuses on finding and recommending affiliates. Tracking their performance — clicks, conversions, revenue, commissions — requires a separate tool like Trackli.
Is Affistash worth using if I already have Trackli?
Absolutely. They solve different problems. Trackli manages your existing affiliates but doesn't help you find new ones. Affistash's AI continuously surfaces new partner opportunities that you can then onboard into Trackli.
What happens after Affistash recommends an affiliate?
You reach out to the recommended affiliate, pitch your program, and if they agree, you onboard them into Trackli. Trackli generates their referral link, sets up their commission structure, and provides them with a portal to monitor their performance.
Does Affistash's AI improve over time?
Yes, Affistash refines its recommendations based on your feedback and preferences. Over time, the affiliates it suggests become more aligned with your ideal partner profile. Pair this with Trackli's performance data to feed back which types of affiliates actually convert.
Can I use Affistash for finding affiliates outside of SaaS?
Affistash works across verticals including ecommerce, SaaS, and digital products. Regardless of your niche, Trackli serves as the tracking backbone for any affiliates Affistash surfaces.
How many affiliates can Trackli handle from Affistash recommendations?
Trackli scales automatically with your program — there are no affiliate caps. Whether Affistash helps you recruit ten partners or ten thousand, Trackli handles the tracking and payouts without limits.
