Referral program

Turn every user into an affiliate.

Your users can refer their friends without leaving your app.

Add Tolt’s Refer-a-Friend page to your app, and every signed-in user gets their own referral link and a live view of what they’ve earned. The first time they open it, Tolt enrolls them as a partner with their email, so there’s no form to fill in.

  • Their link and live earnings, inside your app
  • Reward with account credit, a coupon or cash
  • Double-sided: the friend gets a deal too
  • Enrolled the first time they open it
  • On every plan
AI

Meet Tolt Agent. Your new AI affiliate manager.

What if managing your affiliate program felt as easy as asking a question?

Tolt Agent is built into your Tolt workspace. Ask anything about your partners, customers, commissions or performance: it uncovers suspicious activity, spots partners losing momentum and finds the opportunities in your data.

Then it takes action. Approve partners, adjust commissions, manage customer records and more, without clicking through page after page.

From questions to answers to action. All in one conversation.

AI

Tolt MCP: your entire affiliate program, connected to AI.

Your affiliate program is no longer limited to a dashboard.

Connect your affiliate data and Tolt’s management tools to Claude and other compatible AI assistants. Ask how your partners performed yesterday, find your highest-earning affiliates, look into commissions and explore customer activity.

Then act on it: approve or reject commissions, invite partners, move them between groups and schedule reports, all from the conversation.

Your data. Your AI. A completely new way to work.

Tolt connected

In Claude, connected to Tolt: the top 5 partners by revenue this month against last. Marcus Reid $18,420 (+32%), Jonas Weber $12,960 (+8%), Lina Okafor $9,840 (+112%), Tom Brooks $7,305 (−4%), Aiko Tanaka $5,120 (+61%). Lina more than doubled, and Claude offers to draft her a thank-you with a 35% rate.

Automation

Email automations: the right message, exactly when it matters.

Affiliate emails now respond to what affiliates do.

Build email automations from triggers, conditions, delays and templates. Welcome new partners, follow up at the moments that matter, and run whole sequences that respond to partner activity.

From a single email to a complete engagement journey, Tolt handles the follow-through.

Set it up once. Let every interaction count.

Tracking

Last-click attribution is here.

More control over how your program rewards referrals.

Tolt now supports last-click attribution: an eligible unpaid lead goes to the most recent partner who referred it, instead of keeping its original attribution. It suits programs where the final partner touch matters most.

Available on request while we expand attribution options.

Platform

A new Tolt workspace. Built for what’s next.

A refreshed app brings Tolt’s growing set of capabilities together in a cleaner, more cohesive workspace: a more refined foundation for running sophisticated affiliate programs, including our newest AI features.

Campaigns

Campaigns, without the complexity.

Not every affiliate deserves the same incentive. And not every campaign should last forever.

Bring partners from different groups into a dedicated promotion, with its own tracking links and commission rules. Set how long it runs, launch a limited-time incentive, or give each partner their own window, starting the day they join.

When a campaign ends, its partners go back to their standard commission rates automatically.

More flexibility to experiment. Less work to manage it.

Commissions

Reward hundreds of affiliates in one move.

Recognizing your best affiliates shouldn’t take hours.

Bulk one-time commissions reward many partners in a single action. Choose recipients by group, tag, country or performance, then create their commissions together.

Whether you’re running a seasonal bonus, rewarding top performers or celebrating a milestone, Tolt makes rewarding partners easier at scale.

Partner portal

A better home for your affiliates.

We’ve refreshed the affiliate portal with redesigned performance tables, more powerful filtering and a dedicated commissions view. Partners can explore their customers’ activity, keep track of their earnings and find their campaign links with more clarity.

A more intuitive experience for the people helping your business grow.

Payments

One organization. Every program. One payout workflow.

Running several affiliate programs shouldn’t mean running several payout processes.

Generate payouts and mark them paid across an entire organization, covering all its programs in one operation.

Invoices are more flexible too: edit a pending invoice, add or remove payouts before you pay it, and put off-cycle payouts on the current invoice instead of a separate one.

More programs. One payout run.

Integrations

Tolt is now a Stripe App.

Connecting Stripe and Tolt is getting simpler.

Our Stripe App has been approved: a more integrated way to bring your Stripe billing data into your affiliate program. Spend less time on setup and more on building a partner channel that drives revenue.

Messaging

Know who’s engaging with your affiliate emails.

Sending an email is one thing. Knowing whether your affiliates opened it is another.

Email campaigns now track opens, so you see engagement right in your campaign results. With a custom email domain set up, you can see which of your messages are reaching your partners.

Performance

More power for programs with more data.

Faster total counts
5×
Faster deep-page loading
3.7×

We’ve made significant performance improvements for large affiliate programs. In the workloads we measured, total counts came back about 5× faster and deep pages loaded 3.7× faster, and reports and customer lists hold up better under large volumes of data.

Because growth shouldn’t mean waiting longer for answers.

Partner management

Take control of your affiliate network at scale.

Bulk partner management goes further: filter and update suspended or rejected partners together, organize partners with tags and groups, and aim campaign emails at exactly the audience you want.

Less repetitive administration. More control over your growing affiliate ecosystem.

August 2026

Payments

PayPal payouts, connected directly.

PayPal

Partners can now connect their PayPal accounts securely, right from the affiliate portal: a smoother setup, more flexibility over how they’re paid, and fewer manual steps between partners and their earnings.

July 2026

Commissions

Commissions for more than customer purchases.

Not every affiliate reward needs to be tied to a customer.

Create commissions without attaching a customer record, for bonuses, special contributions and other partner achievements. They work across your existing payout and export workflows.

June 2026

Activity logs

Every important change, accounted for.

Activity logs give teams more visibility into the changes made across their affiliate programs. Review recorded activity and filter it to look into important actions, for more transparency and oversight as your program grows.

Payments

Affiliate payouts, on autopilot.

One of our biggest investments in Tolt: making affiliate payouts dramatically easier.

Automated payouts arrived in phases. Organizations can now have payout invoices charged to a card automatically, with a hosted invoice to fall back on when a charge fails.

With clearer payment statuses, payout controls and invoice management, Tolt takes more of the operational work out of rewarding partners.

May 2026

Platform

Introducing Tolt 2.5. A more powerful foundation for growth.

Tolt 2.5 brings a substantial set of improvements across program management, reporting and partner operations.

A more capable foundation for teams that expect more from their affiliate software.

  • Richer attribution details
  • Weekly and monthly performance insights
  • Activity logs
  • Partner portal impersonation, to see what a partner sees
Flows

Smarter workflows. More control over commissions.

Tolt Flows now takes more sophisticated conditions: partner sign-up dates, customer creation and conversion dates, and conditions combined with AND and OR.

Build more targeted commission structures, and automate the rules that would otherwise need someone to apply them.

March 2026

AI

Tolt MCP: ask Claude or ChatGPT about your program.

Connect Tolt to Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client and ask about partners, revenue and commissions in plain words. The answers come from your live Tolt data.

  • Your top partners by revenue, against last month
  • Partners with high clicks and low conversions
  • Pending commissions over $500, anything unusual flagged
  • Partners without a referral in 90 days

January 2026

Fraud protection

Stronger protection against unwanted referrals.

Your affiliate program should reward real growth.

New controls stop self-referrals, with same-email and same-domain protection, and restrict referrals that come from selected advertising and social platforms.

More confidence in the commissions you approve.

Payments and compliance

Tax documentation, built into the process.

Tolt now supports W-8 and W-9 tax forms, collecting your partners’ tax information as part of the payout workflow.

A more organized experience for international affiliate programs and the people in them.

November 2025

Localization

Speak your affiliates’ language.

AI translation now reaches more of your partner communication, from emails to partner group descriptions, so affiliates in every market get a more local experience.

Make your program more accessible to international affiliates, without rebuilding your communication for every language.

Platform

Introducing Tolt 2.0.

Commissions built your way, new reports, a better portal, simpler payouts, smarter fraud protection and partner groups. Every one of them came from your feedback.

  • Flows: monthly splits of yearly plans, tiers and bonuses
  • Reports by partner, referral link or plan, with exports
  • Your own text on the portal’s login and dashboard pages
  • Partners set up payment methods, tax forms and invoices
  • Self-referrals blocked and ad traffic flagged

A smarter workspace. More flexible tracking. Better affiliate experiences. Payments that scale. And AI woven into how you run your program. We’re building Tolt to handle the operational complexity of affiliate growth, so you can focus on creating more of it.
