As a no-code platform, Ycode empowers creators, startups, and teams to build fully custom web apps — visually. But our growth story isn’t just about great features and powerful design. It’s also about community. In 2025, one of the best ways we’re expanding the community is through the Ycode Affiliate Program.
In this post, we’ll share why we launched the program, how it works, and how we’re using Partnero to manage it — all with the goal of helping other SaaS founders and marketers understand what it takes to build a scalable affiliate channel.
Why We Launched the Ycode Affiliate Program
As a growing no-code platform, we’re seeing strong word-of-mouth traction. Users love the flexibility of Ycode, and they naturally share it with clients, coworkers, and followers. But we wanted to do more than just hope for organic referrals — we wanted to reward advocates for spreading the word.
Enter: the Ycode Affiliate Program.
Our goals:
Increase signups and paid users
Build long-term relationships with creators, educators, and agencies
Turn happy users into growth partners
How the Affiliate Program Works
We designed the program to be simple and rewarding:
Anyone can join — no existing Ycode account required
Affiliates receive a unique referral link they can use to promote Ycode.
We offer a 50% recurring commission for every referred customer
Commission lasts for 24 months per referral
We’ve seen successful affiliates include:
No-code educators and influencers
Agencies building client dashboards with Ycode
Bloggers reviewing no-code tools
Communities sharing best practices
💡 Pro Tip: Affiliates don’t need technical knowledge. Ycode is accessible to creators from all backgrounds, which makes it a great product to promote to a wide audience.
Behind the Scenes: Managing the Program with Partnero
Running an affiliate program sounds simple — until it isn’t. You need reliable tracking, fair payouts, good communication, and an easy experience for partners. That’s why we chose Partnero to power our affiliate operations.
Here’s how Partnero helps us run a seamless program.
1. Designing Our Commission Structure
When setting up our affiliate program, we started where most should—with a competitor analysis. We looked closely at what others in our space were offering and aimed to match or exceed it in ways that would attract, motivate, and retain top-performing affiliates.
Our base commission is 50% recurring for 24 months, which is on par with—or in many cases more generous than—what comparable platforms offer. We wanted this to be both competitive and sustainable for long-term affiliate relationships.
2. Tracking, Attribution & Commission Management
Accurate tracking and reliable commission management are the core reasons why affiliate software like Partnero is essential. Without a dedicated system, it’s almost impossible to properly attribute signups, calculate commissions, or maintain trust with your partners.
With Partnero, everything is handled in real time. Referral links, cookies, signups, and conversions are automatically tracked and attributed with transparent analytics. You can see exactly where referrals are coming from, how they’re performing, and what commissions are owed.
Commission management is just as seamless. Partnero automatically calculates payouts, supports recurring commissions, and handles even advanced structures, such as custom rates or referral tiers.
3. Partner Portal & Resources
A seamless partner experience was a top priority when setting up our affiliate program—because when affiliates have the right tools, they’re far more likely to succeed.
Affiliates can log in anytime to see their performance, grab links or marketing materials, and monitor payouts — improving their motivation and transparency.
With Partnero’s white-label capabilities, we designed a fully branded partner portal using our own colors, logo, and fonts. The live designer makes it easy to tweak design, copy, and settings on the public pages, with real-time updates shown instantly in the editing modal.
4. Bringing Affiliates Onboard
Our goal is to get new partners up to speed quickly and effectively. That’s why we’ve created a streamlined onboarding flow that ensures every new partner understands the program, sees the value, and knows exactly how to get started.
We use Partnero’s Signup Popup Forms to collect affiliate signups directly from our website, making it easy for interested visitors to join our program without unnecessary friction.
5. Affiliate Payouts
Paying affiliates should be seamless—not a time-consuming manual process. With Partnero, we’ve set up an efficient payout system that saves time and ensures reliability.
We process payouts through PayPal Mass Pay, which integrates directly with Partnero. We connected our PayPal account and configured a custom payout schedule, enabling us to process multiple payments simultaneously on our preferred timeline. It’s quick, automated, and hassle-free.
6. Using AI for Program Growth
We’ve also started using some of the AI tools built into Partnero to help grow the Ycode affiliate program more efficiently. The AI Program Builder makes it easier to set up a program by choosing the right program type and setting up the commission structure. Meanwhile, AI Affiliate Discovery analyzes your product and niche, suggesting potential partners based on audience fit and relevance. It’s a helpful way to surface new opportunities without spending hours manually searching.
