Can I migrate my Tapfiliate affiliates over?

Yes. CSV export from Tapfiliate, import through our API v1, swap the tracking snippet. Historical click data follows through URL parameter fallback.

Does Traaaction work with Shopify or WooCommerce?

Yes via the REST API, webhooks and the tracking SDK. Native Shopify/Woo apps are on the roadmap — for pure e-commerce, Tapfiliate still has more out-of-the-box integrations today.

What about the free plan?

Free forever up to 500€ affiliate-generated revenue per month. No credit card, no trial window, no expiry. Tapfiliate has no free tier.

Do you support multi-currency?

Yes. Multi-currency payouts via Stripe Connect, PayPal, IBAN. Commission amounts stored in cents with currency per commission — auditable and exportable.

Is the Traaaction portal really customizable?

Yes. Custom domain (CNAME), logo, colors, welcome text, mission ordering, branded email notifications. Works on free tier — no gating behind higher plans.

How is your analytics different?

Real-time via Tinybird — sub-second query latency on click/lead/sale events. Tapfiliate batches data, so numbers refresh on a delay.

Tapfiliate

The free Tapfiliate alternative purpose-built for SaaS subscriptions

Why switch

How Traaaction beats Tapfiliate

Reason #1

Free tier, actually free

Tapfiliate has no free plan — you pay $89/mo on the Essential tier from the first day. Traaaction is free up to 500€ revenue/mo, no card needed.

Reason #2

SaaS-first, not e-commerce-first

Traaaction is built around Stripe subscriptions: RECURRING commissions, invoice.paid tracking, subscription cancellation clawbacks. Tapfiliate bolts SaaS on top of an e-commerce core.

Reason #3

Modern portal, modern stack

White-label portal with custom CNAME, Python + TypeScript SDKs, MCP server, real-time Tinybird analytics. A 2026 stack, not a 2016 one.
