Six neighbors in the category
Software teams on Stripe usually evaluate these six products when they set up an affiliate or partner program.
- 01Rewardful
- 02FirstPromoter
- 03Tolt
- 04Tapfiliate
- 05Dub
- 06PartnerStack
We do not publish a checkmark matrix of unshipped features, quote competitor prices or repeat competitor numbers. Evaluate these neighbors directly if you want a hosted partner portal, built-in payout rails or a partner directory.
What Parka is for
Agent-run programs with human gates
Parka is for a SaaS team on Stripe whose agent runs the partner program and whose person approves every money step.
- 01
You sell a SaaS product on Stripe
Parka reads collected payments, refunds, disputes and subscription renewals from your Stripe event stream with read-only access.
- 02
Your agent runs the partner program
Your agent creates programs, invites partners, issues referral links and coupons, reads balances, explains ledger entries and drafts rulebook versions over the API, the CLI or MCP.
- 03
You want an append-only commission ledger
Each commission points to the Stripe payment and the active rulebook version. Refunds append corrections. Events with missing or conflicting referral evidence wait in a hold queue.
- 04
Your person approves every money step
Activating rulebook terms, approving commissions, recording payout receipts and granting partner credentials are human gates. An agent call creates an approval request and runs nothing.
What Parka does not do
Four things outside our scope
Parka does not pay partners, it does not host a partner portal, it does not recruit from a marketplace, and it does not claim a fraud network.
- 01
It does not pay partners
Parka calculates what each partner is owed from your Stripe events. You pay partners on your own rails, and a person records the payout receipt in the ledger. Parka never holds or moves money.
- 02
It does not host a partner portal
Partners do not log into a portal on Parka. An operator or an agent reads the ledger through the API, the CLI or MCP.
- 03
It does not recruit from a marketplace
Parka does not run a partner network or directory. You invite your own affiliates, creators and agencies into your workspace.
- 04
It does not claim a fraud network
Parka does not pool traffic across customers or score clicks against a shared network. Each workspace is isolated. When an event has missing or ambiguous referral evidence, Parka holds it for a person to inspect.
