I appreciate that, thank you. You’re definitely right I could have worded it better. Just from my point of view, I’ve done a lot of research in this market so I’d be very surprised to learn that there’s competitors offering affiliate market

If you self host then you don’t pay a 9% fee since you’re hosting your own Reflio instance. I’ll make the site more clear to reflect this :) There’s a lack of docs right now since it’s still so new, working on this as a priority.

Hey thank you for your comment. I took the idea of Reflio’s licensing from other larger commercial open-source products, but I understand now that it’s a bit confusing. The idea was that Reflio is 100% free to self-host in your own public r

Hey thank you for your comment! Ah yeah that’s annoying about the attribution problem. With Reflio, you can define how you long you want your affiliate to keep receiving commission for on subscription payments. Default is 12 months. So for

Hey thank you for your feedback - I agree, it’s still early days, but in terms of being the same price I don’t think that’s quite right. We’re about 30-60% cheaper than other solutions right now. Our solution is also managed, so you get you

You can enable “privacy mode” in your Reflio script, where it will automatically request that users based in the EU confirm that they accept the use of cookies (it’ll show a small popup banner asking the user to confirm consent). All data i

I’ll update the terms to be a bit clearer and not exclude any parts of the codebase. I figured since other much larger products have the same terms, then it must be a well practised license type in commercial open-source. I guess not.

Curious, how’s that sketchy? It’s a commercial open-source product. Look at Cal.com’s licensing - that’s what we based Reflio’s licensing on. I think it’s more than fair.

We’ve taken our commercial open-source licensing from other larger commercial open-source products. I think it’s fair. The licensing states that you’re allowed to use Reflio 100% for free, as long as you keep the codebase in a public reposi

I don’t think so. The idea of the 9% fee is to allow you to try out the platform with no upfront commitment. You only pay per successful referral. So once you start to see referrals come through, you could then upgrade to a plan that has 0%

Hey thank you for your feedback! I 100% agree, the docs are my next priority after the next two features go live. You can see what’s on the roadmap here: https://reflio.canny.io Custom events will be possible in the upcoming ana

I agree with you! Stripe could work with Stripe connect, so it's a possibility. For direct transfer, would you imagine this to just be for the affiliate to manually enter their banking info? (I.e. UK would be sort code, U.S. routing nu

Hey thank you so much! I really appreciate that. It's still early days but I'm really excited about this product! Yeah :) so right now you can export the commissions you want to pay to a PayPal CSV, then import directly into PayPa
