Lightweight Affiliate Software for SaaS
Most affiliate platforms are built for enterprise with features you'll never use and prices to match. Trackli strips away the bloat and gives SaaS companies exactly what they need: reliable tracking, automated commissions, and a clean affiliate portal — without the complexity tax.
How to Set Up Lightweight SaaS Affiliate Tracking
Get up and running in minutes with these simple steps.
Connect and Go
Link your payment provider and your affiliate program is live. No lengthy onboarding calls, no implementation consultants, no setup fees.
Configure the Essentials
Set your commission rate, cookie duration, and payout schedule. Three settings and you're done with configuration.
Customize Your Portal (Optional)
Add your logo and brand colors to the affiliate portal. Or skip this step — the default portal looks professional out of the box.
Invite Partners
Send direct invitations or share your public signup link. Trackli handles onboarding, link generation, and access management.
Focus on Your Product
Once set up, Trackli runs in the background. Check your dashboard weekly for insights, but the tracking and payouts handle themselves.
How It Works
From referral link to commission payout — fully automated with Lightweight SaaS.
