How does Komissio actually save me money compared to Rewardful or Tolt?

Komissio is flat $49 per month. No revenue share. No matter how much your affiliates sell, you pay $49. Rewardful adds 9% on top of your affiliate revenue. On $50,000 in affiliate sales, you would pay Rewardful around $4,549 that month. With Komissio, you pay $49.

Why do affiliate links from other platforms get blocked, and how does Komissio fix this?

Most affiliate platforms use a shared tracking domain like go.rewardful.com or trk.tolt.com. Ad blockers (uBlock Origin, AdBlock Plus, Brave Shields) recognize those domains and block them by default. Browsers like Safari and Firefox treat them as third-party trackers and strip cookies. Komissio gives every merchant their own subdomain like go.yourbrand.com. To browsers and ad blockers, it is just your website. Links work, cookies stay, conversions get attributed.

Is the landing copy optimized for AI search engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity?

Yes. Komissio ships with FAQPage, Organization, and SoftwareApplication schemas, Open Graph metadata, semantic HTML, and a maintained sitemap. This is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) ready. When founders ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or Gemini for affiliate platforms, our content is structured for citation.

How long does it actually take to launch an affiliate program?

About 15 minutes. Connect your Stripe account in one click. Create a campaign. Copy your first tracking link. Send it to your first affiliate. You do not need an engineer. You do not need to read API docs. Most merchants attribute their first commission the same day.

What does white-label actually mean here?

Your affiliates sign up at partners.yourbrand.com. The page shows your logo, your colors, your copy. Emails to affiliates come from your domain, not from Komissio. The tracking link is your subdomain. The word Komissio never appears anywhere your affiliates can see.

How do payouts work without spreadsheets?

Komissio runs on Stripe Connect. When a commission is approved, the transfer happens through Stripe with a full audit trail in your Stripe Dashboard. No CSV exports. No bank wire forms. No manual calculations. You approve, Komissio pays.

Honest comparison

Komissio vs PartnerStack — a fair comparison for Stripe SaaS in 2026.

TL;DR: Komissio and PartnerStack both connect to Stripe and handle recurring commissions. Komissio uses first-party cookie tracking (so you don't lose Safari/Firefox conversions), has fraud detection built in, and includes branded affiliate portals at the $49/mo tier. Enterprise platform with marketplace access, but expensive and overkill for most SaaS.

Common questions about Komissio vs PartnerStack

What is the difference between Komissio and PartnerStack?

Komissio uses first-party cookie tracking on your own domain (PartnerStack uses third-party cookies that Safari and Firefox block), has built-in fraud detection, includes branded affiliate portals on the base plan, and supports Shopify natively. Both connect to Stripe via OAuth and handle recurring commissions. Komissio Starter is $49/month with no revenue caps; PartnerStack Starter is Custom (typically $1,000+/mo) with a None (enterprise) cap.

Is Komissio cheaper than PartnerStack?

Komissio Starter is $49/month with no revenue caps. PartnerStack Custom (typically $1,000+/mo). Once your affiliate revenue grows past their cap, you'll pay significantly more on PartnerStack than on Komissio.

Can I migrate from PartnerStack to Komissio?

Yes. Komissio's team handles migration from PartnerStack for free. We import your affiliate data, tracking links, and commission history. Migration typically takes under an hour.

What is first-party affiliate tracking and why does it matter?

First-party tracking sets cookies on your own domain (e.g., partners.yoursaas.com), which Safari ITP, Firefox ETP, and ad blockers do not block. Third-party cookies (used by PartnerStack) are silently dropped on these browsers, causing 30-50% of conversions to be lost.

Does Komissio support recurring commissions for SaaS subscriptions?

Yes. Komissio listens to Stripe invoice.paid webhook events and automatically creates a commission for every subscription renewal. You configure the recurring commission duration (12 months, lifetime, etc.) and rate.
