Partnership platform for running affiliate, creator and referral programs with tracking, contracts and payouts.
Top-rated in Affiliate Program Software#1 of 8 in Affiliate Program Software by Overall Score
impact.com is a web platform where brands recruit, contract, track and pay partners such as affiliates, influencers and content publishers. Plugin integrations connect Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Adobe Commerce and Squarespace stores to conversion tracking, and promo codes, tracking links and product feeds are managed inside the platform. Editions run Starter, Essentials, Pro and Enterprise. Essentials opens the Partner Marketplace and unlimited contract templates; Pro adds cross-device and API-based tracking, Data Lab dashboards and SAML; Enterprise adds fraud scoring, forecasting, call and offline conversion tracking, and partner deduplication across channels. Creator campaigns run in the same account, with flat-fee, gifting, CPA or commission payouts, content management and first-party social data, and both brands and creators get iOS and Android apps.
Starter provides ecommerce plugins and basic contracts, but access to the Partner Marketplace and unlimited contract templates begins with Essentials. The platform also has an action-locking period before commissions become payable, allowing brands to reverse transactions such as returns. This creates a more formal financial approval process than simple referral-link attribution.
