Migrate from FirstPromoter to Reditus.
Free on every plan, done by our team, and your affiliates keep their existing links. Most teams move from FirstPromoter for the same reason: they ran out of people in their own network to recruit.

First: should you actually move?
FirstPromoter is a genuinely good tracker. If you want a heavily customized, branded affiliate portal and you only ever plan to work with affiliates you invite yourself, it does that job well and you probably should not move.
The other case where we tell people not to migrate: if your program never really got going. Changing tools does not fix a program that has not worked yet. If almost nobody is promoting you, the problem is usually the offer, the audience fit, or the fact that nobody has been asked. Fix that first, on whatever tool you are already paying for.
Migration makes sense when the program works and has stalled: you went from zero to one, you know the channel converts, and you have simply run out of people in your own network to ask.
Why teams move from FirstPromoter
Your own network dried up
You pushed the program to your users, your audience, and your contacts. It worked, and then it plateaued. Recruiting the next 50 affiliates by hand is slow, and FirstPromoter has no network for them to find you through.
Payouts became a job
Affiliates start asking for different payment methods and invoices, and finance starts asking about tax forms and sign-off. That admin grows with the program. Reditus runs automated payouts on every plan: you pay one monthly overview, and we pay each affiliate by PayPal, Wise or IBAN, whichever they choose.
You want in-app referrals too
Running an affiliate program in one tool and an in-app referral program in another means duplicated cost, duplicated referrals, and duplicated work. Reditus runs both, plus the network, in one platform.

How the migration works
Your part takes about 30 to 60 minutes: a call and a check of the data. We do all the heavy lifting, and the data work takes about a day.
We export your current program
You give the team access to your current platform. We export affiliates, their links, and their referrals, then prepare an import sheet for you to review.
You approve the import
We walk through the sheet with you on a call so you can correct anything, or leave inactive affiliates behind, before it goes live. Nothing is imported until you are happy with it.
We import and take over tracking
You install our tracking (a typical installation takes under 30 minutes). Then your affiliates' existing links track in Reditus, referrals and pending commissions come across, and Reditus generates commissions on new payments.
You tell your affiliates
We provide email templates. Accounts are already created with links and referrals attached, so affiliates just reset a password and see their data.
The part nobody explains: the overlap window
Clicks that happened before the import were never cookied by Reditus, so a few referrals can still surface in your old platform afterwards. Both systems stay live for the length of your cookie window, usually 30 days and sometimes 60. In practice the overlap shrinks fast: most referred signups happen within a day of the click and nearly all within a week, so mismatches taper off almost immediately. Payouts are checked as part of the migration so nothing falls between the two systems, and if you bill through Stripe, we connect it at the start of a month, so no commission is paid twice.
“The way we do it with the Stripe connection at the first of the month already fixes everything.”
What to plan for after you move
Two questions worth answering before you migrate, because almost nobody asks them and they decide how fast the channel grows.
How much time will you spend on recruitment each week? The network and the Affiliate Finder bring volume and show you who already promotes your competitors or ranks for your keywords. Turning that into active affiliates is still deliberate work, and the teams who block time for it grow noticeably faster.
What will you pay affiliates upfront? Recruiting quality affiliates is not purely revenue share any more. Getting listed in a serious comparison article or review usually means paying something upfront for the work, which is what campaigns are for. Decide your budget before you need it.
Frequently asked questions
Is the migration from FirstPromoter really free?
Yes, on every plan, and you can start it during your 14-day free trial. The Reditus team handles the export from FirstPromoter, prepares the import, and moves your affiliates, their links, and their referrals across. You review the import sheet before anything goes live.
Will our FirstPromoter links keep working?
Yes. FirstPromoter's ?fpr= links keep working after the migration, so your affiliates don't have to change anything they have already published.
Do affiliates have to change their links?
No. Existing affiliate links are carried over during the migration and Reditus takes over tracking them, so anything already published keeps working. Your affiliates keep their links and simply reset their password to see their migrated data.
How much work is the migration for my team?
Your part takes about 30 to 60 minutes of your own time: a call and a check of the data. You share access to your current platform and approve the import sheet we prepare; if you want to leave inactive affiliates behind, we clean up the list with you first. We do all the heavy lifting: the exports, the imports and the link takeover. Reditus tracking also has to be installed, as on every account (a typical technical installation takes under 30 minutes).
How long does the migration itself take?
The data migration is about a day: we get access to your current platform, export everything, prepare an import sheet, walk through it with you on a call, then import. Affiliates, their links, and their referrals all come across. You can even start it during your 14-day free trial.
Why do both systems need to run for a while?
Clicks that happened before the import were never cookied by Reditus, so referrals from those clicks can still land in your old system. Both run in parallel for the length of your cookie window, typically 30 days and sometimes 60. The mismatch shrinks quickly, because most referred signups happen within a day and nearly all within a week.
What happens to commissions we already owe affiliates?
We check your pending payouts as part of the migration. Usually the cleanest path is to pay out everything currently open in your old platform, then Reditus takes over from that point. Outstanding payouts can also be migrated across. If you bill through Stripe, we connect it at the start of a month, so no commission is paid twice.
Who pays our affiliates after the switch?
Reditus does, on every plan. Every month you get one overview of all commissions, plus a payout fee of 5% by card or 2% by invoice. When that is paid, we pay every affiliate through PayPal, Wise or IBAN bank transfer, whichever they chose. So yes, there is a fee, and it is small next to the time it saves you: one invoice a month instead of dozens of transfers for your bookkeeper to check.
What does it cost?
Migration is free on every plan, Growth monthly included, and our team does the export, mapping, and import for you. Reditus starts at €99/$99 per month on annual billing (€149/$149 on monthly billing): a flat fee per plan, with unlimited affiliates. There is a 14-day free trial with no credit card if you want to see the platform before committing.

“No matter how big they become, it doesn't mean that their work is going to increase because we're going to do the payouts, and they can grow as far as they want because our network is also keeping growing.”
