Frequently asked questions
Everything worth knowing about AffiWave - tracking, commissions, partners, payouts and integrations.
What is AffiWave?
AffiWave is a modular SaaS platform for building and running your own affiliate and partner program - tracking, campaigns, commissions, payouts and analytics in one system.
Who is AffiWave for?
For SaaS companies, ecommerce stores, course and digital-product creators, agencies and subscription businesses that want to run their own partner program with full control over their data.
Is AffiWave a SaaS product?
Yes - AffiWave is delivered as SaaS, with white-label deployment and a custom domain available on the Enterprise plan.
Can I launch my own affiliate program?
Yes. You create a program, invite partners and define commissions and campaigns - all from the panel, no spreadsheets.
How does click and conversion tracking work?
AffiWave tracks clicks through unique referral links and discount codes, and records conversions client-side (tracking script) and server-side (API and webhooks).
Can I use discount codes?
Yes - discount codes can be assigned to partners and campaigns, with different attribution models (code = partner, last click, campaign).
Does the system support server-side tracking?
Yes. You can send conversions directly via API or webhooks, which improves attribution accuracy regardless of cookie restrictions.
Can I connect my own store or app?
Yes - through ready-made integrations (Stripe, Paddle, WooCommerce, Shopify) or your own integration via API and webhooks.
What commission types does AffiWave support?
Percentage, flat, recurring, tiered, performance bonuses, per-campaign and per-partner commissions, first-sale and lifetime. Manual adjustments are also possible.
Can I have recurring commissions?
Yes - a recurring commission is calculated on every subsequent subscription payment, for a set period or for the partner's lifetime.
Can I set different commissions per campaign?
Yes. Each campaign can have its own commission rule, and rules can also be assigned to specific partners with a defined priority.
Do commissions require approval?
You can enable an approval workflow - commissions wait for approval so you can verify conversions before payout.
Do affiliates get their own dashboard?
Yes - partners have a separate portal with earnings, links, codes, conversions, payout status and promo assets.
How does the payout process work?
Approved commissions become payable once they reach the threshold. You create payout batches, approve them and mark them as paid; the list can be exported to CSV.
How does the system detect suspicious conversions?
AffiWave surfaces risk signals (e.g. many conversions from one IP, an unusually high CR, a very fast conversion after a click) and routes them to a manual review queue. These are signals to review, not confirmed fraud.
Does AffiWave integrate with Stripe, Paddle, WooCommerce or Shopify?
Yes - there are integrations with popular payment and ecommerce systems, and you can connect the rest via API, webhooks and Zapier/Make.
