Affiliate Tracking for Micro-SaaS Founders
Micro-SaaS products thrive on word-of-mouth and niche communities. Trackli gives solo founders and small teams an affordable affiliate program that doesn't require enterprise budgets or complex technical integration — set it up in an afternoon and start growing.
How to Set Up Micro-SaaS Affiliate Tracking
Get up and running in minutes with these simple steps.
Quick Connect Your Payment System
Whether you use Stripe, Lemon Squeezy, or Paddle, connect in under 5 minutes. Trackli auto-configures webhooks for your specific setup.
Choose a Simple Commission Model
Start with a straightforward 20-30% recurring commission. You can always add complexity later, but simplicity attracts more affiliates initially.
Set Up a Minimal Affiliate Page
Create a /partners or /affiliates page on your site. Embed Trackli's signup widget and describe your commission structure in plain language.
Invite Your First Affiliates
Start with your existing users, beta testers, and indie hacker community connections. Personal invitations convert better than open programs at the micro-SaaS stage.
Automate Everything
Configure automatic affiliate approval, cookie-based tracking, and scheduled payouts. Spend zero ongoing time managing the program.
How It Works
From referral link to commission payout — fully automated with Micro-SaaS.
