About ViralPayouts
ViralPayouts is affiliate software for companies running partner programs. Instead of a monthly plan, it charges a percentage of what a business pays its partners, so a month with no affiliate payouts costs nothing. Each partner gets two links: one for sending customers and one for recruiting other partners, who earn a recruiter override set by the brand on approved sales. Commissions are limited to two levels.
Sales are reported by connecting a checkout such as Stripe, Shopify, Whop, Paddle or Lemon Squeezy, or through one signed API call from a server. An append-only ledger reverses every share on refunds or rejections, and brands can reject sales from brand-name bidding, leaked codes and similar sources with a visible reason. Payout files are generated for Airwallex, PayPal, Wise, Revolut, UK banks or US ACH, and a test network lets brands simulate hold periods and refunds with test money.
The product is in private beta and suits product owners switching from tools like Rewardful or FirstPromoter, who can import affiliates with their existing referral codes.
