Refferq
What it is
Refferq is an open-source affiliate marketing platform for businesses, with a partner portal for managing affiliates, referrals, commissions, and reporting. Administrators can review and approve affiliate registrations, which use email verification with a one-time passcode. A JavaScript tracker records referral clicks, while conversions can be submitted through the API.
Commission rates are set by partner group and inherited by affiliates assigned to that group. Real-time dashboards and the Reports API cover clicks, conversions, revenue, commissions, and top affiliates. Refferq supports 12 webhook event types, signs messages with HMAC-SHA256, and retries failed deliveries with exponential backoff. The pricing page lists 38+ API endpoints.
The Self-Hosted plan includes complete source code under the MIT License and API access, with unlimited affiliates, referrals, and conversions and no usage limits or per-transaction charges. Documentation lists Node.js 18+ and PostgreSQL 12+ requirements and describes deployment with Docker, Vercel, or a VPS. Email notifications use Resend, and setup requires a Resend API key. White-label branding and interface, commission, and tracking customization are listed. The Managed Cloud plan is $29 a month and marked as coming soon.
