Changelog

A new marketplace to find your next program

The marketplace is now a grid of program cards you can search, filter by commission type and sort, and every program page shows its terms at a glance.

Partner sales from Stripe Payment Links, Buy Buttons and Pricing Tables

If you sell with Stripe's no-code checkouts, partner sales are now credited automatically. Nothing to change in your checkout.

Billing that shows what you owe and what is next

The Billing page now shows what is due, what this week's invoice will be and where you stand against the free tier, and each invoice breaks down by partner.

MCP server records sales only when you allow it

From @affitor/mcp 0.2.1, the tools that record sales and refunds are off by default. Agents that record sales need AFFITOR_MCP_WRITE=1.

Improvements and fixes, Oct 5–11

One-click commission approval, clearer refund notifications, and notification links that open the right page.

• Approving a commission takes one click.
• A refund notification now says what happened to your balance. If the commission was still pending, it says the commission was canceled and your balance did not change.
• Notification and reminder links open the right page instead of a "page not found".

Partners withdraw commissions once the brand has paid

Commissions approved from Oct 9 become withdrawable when the brand pays its invoice. Partners see what is waiting, and brands no longer mark commissions as paid.

Improvements and fixes, Sep 28–Oct 4

A changelog for you and your agents, clearer answers from the tracking API, and fixes for Google sign-in and CLI-created programs.

• A changelog page, with a Markdown version for AI agents.
• Tracking a click on a disabled referral link answers 410 link_disabled, so you can tell it apart from an error.
• Marketplace pages carry correct structured data for search engines.

See what you owe after a refund

When a customer refund reverses a commission you already withdrew, your payout page shows the balance owed, and it is recovered from your next commissions.

Send leads from your server to count them

A signup sent only from the browser is now recorded as provisional on older programs too. Send the lead from your server with your program API key so it counts.

Test sales are never invoiced

Sales from your own tests are labeled and never billed. An invoice made only of test sales is voided automatically, and it no longer keeps your program paused.

Improvements and fixes, Sep 21–27

Commission notifications that point to the exact commission, a featured carousel on the marketplace, and access fixes for workspace members.

• Commission notifications name the program and open the exact commission.
• The marketplace shows featured programs in a carousel.
• The old CLI endpoint for connecting Stripe now answers 410 Gone. Connect Stripe from the dashboard instead.

Partners get their link the moment you approve them

Approving a partner now creates their referral link right away, every referral code has one owner, and links can use your own /r/ short link.

Know when your API key must be replaced

If Affitor flags your program's API key for replacement, your dashboard, every API response and the CLI now tell you. After the deadline the old key is refused.

Improvements and fixes, Sep 14–20

Password reset pages, notifications that open the right place, faster pages, and fixes across commissions, chat and tracking.

• Forgot your password? The sign-in page now has forgot-password and reset-password pages, so you can get back into your account on your own.
• Clicking a notification opens the page it is about.
• Emails from Affitor now come from Affitor, with a plain-text version and a reply-to address.

Improvements and fixes, Sep 1–13

A cleaner docs feed for AI assistants, and tighter access to program and marketplace data.

• The docs feed for AI assistants is rebuilt: a compact llms.txt on every build, a full llms-full.txt, a sitemap that lists the Markdown pages, and page details at the top of every .md page.
• We tightened access to program details and public marketplace data.

Improvements and fixes, August 2026

New brands can create their first program right after sign-up again.

• New brands can create their first program right after sign-up again. If creating a program fails, the error says why.

Improvements and fixes, July 2026

Every docs page as Markdown for AI assistants, an About page, an end-to-end guide, and invite links that work through sign-in.

• Docs for AI assistants. Every docs page is available as Markdown at its URL plus .md, and the docs publish llms.txt.
• An About page with the Affitor story, and an "Ask AI about Affitor" row in the footer that opens your assistant with a ready question.
• A How to Use Affitor walkthrough and an Inviting Partners guide in the docs, with real screenshots.

Read honest affiliate-software comparisons on the new Affitor blog

Twelve posts comparing the tools you're actually evaluating, with every price dated "as of" and competitor strengths conceded up front, plus .md twins and llms.txt so your AI assistant reads the same facts you do.

Invite partners with the email already written

Recruit affiliates by email, CSV, or from your other programs, and send an invitation generated from your program's real terms instead of writing one from scratch.

Go live when you are ready, with or without Stripe

Record sales from your server without connecting Stripe, connect Stripe per program, and publish with one Go Live button once your checklist is green.

Improvements and fixes, June 2026

Shorter app addresses, a calmer design, apply first and sign up after, per-program billing and notifications, refunds through the API, and the end of list.affitor.com.

• Record refunds through the tracking API, so the matching commission is reversed.
• Notifications and billing are scoped per program for brands with several programs.
• A quick start popover in the top bar, and Billing as its own tab.
