AffiliateTracker Pro - PHP Script

If you sell anything online — a SaaS tool, a digital course, an e-commerce product — and you want influencers and bloggers to promote it for you, you normally have to pay companies like ClickBank or PartnerStack hundreds of dollars every single month just to manage your affiliates.

AffiliateTracker Pro eliminates that cost completely.

You install this on your own server once, and you own your entire affiliate network forever.

Your affiliates get a slick, modern dashboard where they can grab their referral link, watch their clicks roll in, and request payouts when they hit the minimum threshold. You, as the Admin, get a separate hardened control panel to monitor every conversion, verify payout methods before releasing money, and detect fraudulent click activity in real time.

This was built for business owners who understand the value of owning their own tools instead of renting access to someone else's.

Features

1. Dual-portal architecture: Completely separate Admin and Affiliate panels with independent authentication 2. 5-tier automated commission system: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond — commission rates escalate automatically as affiliates hit conversion milestones 3.
