How I built an embeddable affiliate program for SaaS (no dashboards, 0% fees, no earning limits)

Affiliate programs are a great growth engine — but most SaaS tools make it harder than it should be.

I wanted a way to give my users referral tools inside my product. Not a separate platform. Not more tabs.

So I built Refgrow — a fully embeddable affiliate engine designed for SaaS.

Problems I had with existing tools:

  • Redirecting users to external dashboards
  • Commission fees on affiliate payouts
  • Earning caps (e.g. Rewardful limits you to $7.5k/month on the base plan)

What I built instead:

  • Fully embedded affiliate UI
  • 0% payout fees
  • Works with Stripe, Paddle, and LemonSqueezy
  • Unlimited revenue from affiliates, even on the cheapest plan
  • REST API, mass payouts, white label options available

Tech stack:

  • Vanilla JS snippet
  • Hosted tracking logic + analytics
  • Customizable UI, designed to be styled to match your brand

TL;DR:

Launch an affiliate program inside your SaaS in 5 minutes. No commissions. No caps.

Curious to hear: how are you handling referrals in your own product?
