Coming from PartnerStack or Impact: what changes, what stays, and when to switch

If your affiliates run on PartnerStack or Impact, you are the majority of the migration calls we take, and you ask the same three questions: what will my affiliates notice, what do I lose, and when do I do it so I am not paying for two platforms. Here are all three, in plain words.

First, what you are actually on

PartnerStack and Impact are built to run many kinds of partnerships at once: resellers, co-selling partners, influencers and, in Impact's case, retail and consumer brands alongside software. The industry word for that is a PRM, a partner relationship management platform. Reditus does one thing: affiliate and referral programs for B2B SaaS. If what you run is people recommending your product for a commission, you are paying for a large platform and using a small corner of it.

What your affiliates notice

On day one, almost nothing. Their existing links keep working, so the content they already published keeps tracking. Their account is created for them with their referrals attached; all they do is set a password. Affiliates who are already in the Reditus network skip even that, because the partnership is simply created next to the other programs they promote.

After that, three things tend to make activity go up rather than down: payouts arrive on schedule, through PayPal by default or Wise and bank transfer on request; they see every program they promote in one dashboard instead of logging into yours; and campaigns give them paid work to do. Say the mechanism when you announce the move, never a promise.

What changes for you

• You can see the price. Every Reditus plan is public: Growth from $99 a month on annual billing (149 monthly), Scale Up at 399 a month on annual billing, Enterprise from 799. PartnerStack shows its plans behind a demo request. Impact publishes its B2B plans, from $30 for tracking to $500 for marketplace access and $2,500 for keyword-based partner discovery, plus a setup fee and a transaction fee on partner-driven sales.
• One flat fee, and published payout fees. Payouts cost 5% by card or 2% by invoice, on every plan. There is no separate cut of the commissions earned through network affiliates.
• No annual contract before you know it works. Growth on monthly billing cancels any time. Every annual plan is a 12-month contract, and the marketplace listing needs an annual plan plus a completed installation, so the usual path is: test on monthly, go annual when you want to be listed.
• Built only for product-led B2B SaaS. PartnerStack is built for sales-led partner programs and resellers across many industries. Reditus is 28,000+ affiliates who promote B2B SaaS, with 650+ vetted profiles that connected their own analytics, YouTube or LinkedIn. Impact's marketplace is broad: retail, travel and apps next to software.
• Two things you may not have today. An in-app referral program for your own users, included on every plan; PartnerStack has none. And campaigns, where you pay affiliates upfront for a specific piece of work on top of their commission.

What you give up

Be honest with yourself here, because lesson 1 applies: we tell people not to move when the move gives them nothing.

• Co-sell and reseller tooling, if you actually use it.
• On Impact, payouts in 80+ currencies and a platform in close to 40 languages, if your partner base needs that.

If one of those is the reason you are on the platform, stay. If none of them is, you are paying for them anyway.

When to switch: work backwards from your renewal

Annual and biannual commitments are the norm on PartnerStack, so the date that decides everything is your renewal. The cutover has a fixed shape: the data migration is about a day of work; both trackers then run side by side for your old cookie window, 30 days for most programs and sometimes 60; and Stripe is connected on the first of a month so nothing is paid twice. Take the renewal date, subtract the overlap, and that is your Stripe date.

Some customers keep the old platform running longer than the overlap, to test Reditus against it before they commit. It is not ideal, and it works; set the end date before you start, because lesson 5 is about exactly that.

Bring your commission terms to the call

Programs on the big platforms often carry a mix: a bounty per sale, a payment per free trial, a recurring percentage for some partners, a lifetime deal for the early ones. Each of those needs a decision on the review call: what it becomes in Reditus, or whether it ends with the old platform. Recurring and one-time commissions both exist here; legacy terms become a private legacy tier with per-referral end dates, which is the next lesson. Export the terms before the call and nothing is rebuilt from memory afterwards.
