Post Affiliate Pro is a platform for merchants and brands who want to create their own affiliate program, recruit affiliates, and pay them commissions for sales or leads. If you sell a product or service and want other people to promote it in exchange for a percentage — Post Affiliate Pro is built for that.
Developer: Quality Unit, a Slovak company founded in 2004. They also make LiveAgent (helpdesk) and Post Affiliate Network. Over 22 years on the market, 685+ verified reviews on GetApp.
Who It's For and What It Solves
Starting from scratch. An ecommerce store, SaaS product, info product, or physical goods — if you have something to sell and want to build a network of partners who bring in customers for a commission, Post Affiliate Pro provides all the infrastructure.
Replacing affiliate networks. Major affiliate networks (CJ, ShareASale, Awin) charge 20–30% on top of affiliate commissions — so-called network fees. Post Affiliate Pro lets you run the program directly and pass those fees to your affiliates or keep them.
Scaling an existing program. If your affiliate program already runs through manual spreadsheets or basic plugins, Post Affiliate Pro provides a professional tool with automatic tracking, payouts, anti-fraud, and detailed analytics.
Building a multi-level network. Ultimate and Network plans support multi-tier commissions (MLM structures) and a full affiliate network with multiple merchants.
What Post Affiliate Pro Does
Tracking. Multiple parallel methods: 1st-party cookie tracking, IP tracking, browser fingerprinting. Direct link tracking without redirects. SEO-friendly URLs for affiliate links. Pixel and postback tracking.
Commission structures. Fixed amounts or percentage of sale, per-product commissions, lifetime commissions (on all future purchases by a referred customer), recurring commissions for SaaS/subscriptions, multi-tier (MLM) commissions, bonus commissions for milestone targets.
Promotional materials. Banners (HTML, images, Flash, lightbox), banner rotators, coupons and promo codes, SmartLinks, branded affiliate links.
Payouts. Payout requests, mass payments via PayPal, Payoneer, Skrill, bank transfer. Multi-currency support.
Affiliate panel. Customizable partner dashboard: statistics, access to promotional materials, commission status, referral links. White-label — branded with your company identity.
Anti-fraud. Duplicate click detection, IP verification, junk traffic filtering. Protection against self-referral fraud.
Integrations. 170+ plugins: WooCommerce, Shopify, Magento, PrestaShop, OpenCart, WordPress, Stripe, PayPal, Zapier, and more. Webhook API for custom integrations.
Reporting. Detailed analytics by affiliate, campaign, and promotional material type. Referral path tracking, conversion funnel, export.

How Working with the Platform Looks
Merchant side (you): add products, define commission rules, upload banners, install the integration on your site (typically via a CMS plugin or JS snippet), configure the affiliate registration form.
Affiliate side (your partners): register in your program, get unique links and promotional materials, view their stats and commissions in the white-label panel, request payouts.
Site integration is a one-time setup. After that, tracking, commission calculation, and payout accounting run automatically.
Do You Need a VPS for Post Affiliate Pro
Post Affiliate Pro is cloud SaaS — no server needed. The platform runs on Quality Unit's infrastructure.
A VPS is useful alongside it in a few scenarios:
Hosting landing pages for affiliates. If you prepare dedicated landing pages for affiliates (separate from your main site), hosting them on a VPS gives you full control over performance and configuration.
Self-hosted option. Post Affiliate Pro historically also shipped as installable software — PHP/MySQL, installed on your own server. If keeping data exclusively on your infrastructure matters, this option exists. Confirm availability with the Product team.
Main site on VPS. If the merchant site itself is hosted on THE.Hosting VPS, the Post Affiliate Pro integration via JS code or plugin works with no special server requirements.
Starting VPS from €5.77/month, KYC trial at €1/month for up to 6 months.
Post Affiliate Pro vs Other Solutions
| Post Affiliate Pro | Affiliate Networks (CJ, Awin) | Simple Plugins (AffiliateWP) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Network fees | None | 20–30% on commissions | None |
| Data control | Full | Limited | Full |
| Existing affiliate audience | Build your own | Network's existing base | Build your own |
| Multi-tier commissions | Ultimate and above | Depends on network | Extra plugin |
| Pricing | From $129/mo | % of revenue + fees | From $199/yr |
| Customization flexibility | High | Limited | Medium |
Affiliate networks give access to an existing affiliate audience — that's their main advantage. Post Affiliate Pro requires recruiting partners yourself, but gives full control and eliminates network fees.
Common Issues
Complex initial setup. The most frequent complaint in reviews. Post Affiliate Pro is feature-rich — the interface can feel overwhelming on first login. Work through the built-in Getting Started guide sequentially; live chat support is available in real time.
Site integration requires technical knowledge. Installing the tracking code, configuring postbacks, pixel integration — if you're not comfortable with HTML/PHP, a developer may be needed. The support team assists with integration questions.
Dated interface. Quality Unit acknowledges in review responses that a UI refresh is next on the roadmap. The underlying functionality remains reliable — reviewers with 10 years of use consistently note platform stability.
FAQ:
Does it require technical knowledge to launch?
Initial setup requires understanding web integration (installing code on your site). Day-to-day operation is managerial work, no coding needed. Support assists with technical questions via live chat.
Is there a limit on the number of affiliates?
No. All plans include unlimited affiliates.
How do affiliates get paid?
Through the built-in payout module: PayPal, Payoneer, Skrill, bank transfer. An affiliate requests a payout — you approve and process the transaction.
