Imports
ProcessingCompletedReferly imports directly from Rewardful. Copy your API secret from Rewardful's Company Settings, run the importer, and your affiliates arrive with their referral codes, their rates and their original join dates. Commission plans are rebuilt by hand. Run both tools for a few days, then switch. Migration is free on every plan.
Before you start
Four things move in full, two move partly, and three stay behind. The last list is the reason the first one is worth believing.
Affiliates and their details
Names, emails, payout emails, countries and status, straight over the API.
Referral codes and links
The code itself survives. Maya stays maya, on a link pointing at your domain instead of Rewardful's.
Per-affiliate commission rates
Individual overrides come across as per-affiliate rates rather than collapsing to one program default.
Customers, sales and commissions
With their original dates, and with anything already paid marked paid, so a migration does not trigger a second payout.
Commission plans and campaign rules
Your campaigns exist in Rewardful and can be read, but there is nothing to import them into. Rebuilding them is the real hour of this migration.
The historic click log
Clicks are not importable at all. Your click-through and conversion-rate charts start from the day you switch.
Paid payouts
Sales you import can carry their paid status, so nobody is paid twice. The payout records themselves stay behind.
Unpaid commissions
Import them marked unpaid and pay from Referly, or pay them out of Rewardful first.
Affiliate portal branding
Rebuilt in Referly. Colours, logo, login layout and custom CSS are all configurable, but none of it transfers.
Commission plans are rebuilt by hand on every migration, from every tool, including this one. Nobody's importer carries them. Budget an hour for it and the rest of the move is mechanical.
Step 1
There is no CSV export step here. Rewardful's API gives Referly everything the importer needs, so this is a copy and a paste rather than a file.

In Rewardful
Company Settings
Copy your API Secret.
How Referly authenticates
HTTP Basic. Rewardful takes the API Secret as the username and no password, which is what Referly's importer sends.

The importer
Generated from the importer itself, so this list is what the product does today rather than what a page once claimed.
1. Affiliates
First name · Last name · Email · Join date · Affiliate link
2. Referrals
First name · Last name · Email · Affiliate email · Join date · External user ID
3. Sales
Customer email · Customer name · Affiliate email · Transaction amount · Transaction date · Commission · Paid status
Referly runs affiliates first, then referrals, then sales. It refuses to start them out of order, because a referral needs its affiliate and a sale needs both.

about two hours, then 3 to 7 days running both tools side by side.
Referral codes
Rewardful puts the affiliate's code in a ?via= parameter, and that parameter is already one of the forty-odd Referly's tracking script reads. So a Rewardful-shaped link that lands on your site after you have installed the script still resolves to the right affiliate. That buys you the overlap period. It does not last forever: once Rewardful is switched off, links pointing at their domain stop resolving anywhere, which is why the overlap exists and why you send everyone their new link during it.
?via= is already in the tracker

Referly's tracking script reads
Rewardful's own ?via= parameter is one of them, so a Rewardful-shaped link landing on your site still resolves to the right affiliate.
Connected integrations
One programInstall Referly on your store
Referly will read orders, discount codes and refunds so it can attribute sales and reverse commissions automatically.
Both sides, one program. A SaaS subscription in Stripe and a store order in Shopify pay the same affiliate, from the same commission plan, into the same payout.
The reason most people leave
Rewardful's own pricing FAQ answers this directly. Asked whether a program can run without Stripe or Paddle, it says: "Not at this time. We currently support only Stripe or Paddle." If you have added a store, or you are about to, that is a hard stop rather than a roadmap item. Referly tracks both sides at once: a subscription in Stripe and an order in Shopify pay the same affiliate, from the same commission plan, into the same payout.
Customer stories
The founders and affiliate managers behind three fast-growing programs, in their own words.
“Affiliates drive a serious share of our revenue across three countries. Since we moved to Referly everything runs from one place, tracking has been spot on, and our partners get paid without me chasing spreadsheets.”

“We have been running affiliate programs for over a decade, and ours is one of the biggest parts of how OptimizePress grows. Referly is the first platform where an operation with thousands of partners actually feels manageable, from recruiting new affiliates to tracking every sale they send.”

James Dyson
Founder & CEO, OptimizePress
Plan your move
The import does not care how big your roster is. What moves the number is how many commission plans you have to rebuild.
The importer does not slow down with volume. A bigger roster just means more to reconcile during the overlap.
Commission plans and campaign rules
This is the input that moves the number. No importer carries commission plans, from any tool, including ours.

ImportedRequested in-house, stored encrypted, and reveal-gated. The affiliate fills it in their own portal.
Request a tax form
While you are here
Rewardful has no tax-form collection at any plan, so most programs arriving from it have a folder of W-9s somewhere and a spreadsheet. Referly requests the right form per affiliate, suggests which one applies from their country and payout type, stores the tax ID encrypted and gates who can reveal it.
Tax forms, EU-compliant invoicing and automated payouts are on Business and above. Startup runs manual payouts and no invoicing, so check your plan before you assume this moves with you.
Last step
Export a copy of everything before you press it. Affiliates, referrals, commissions and payout history, as CSV, kept somewhere you will still be able to find in a year. Most vendors close data access at cancellation and Rewardful is no different.
Then it is genuinely easy, and their own words are the fairest description: you can one-click cancel from the dashboard at any time, and they will refund you if you contact them within 30 days, no questions asked.
Do it after the overlap, not before. As long as Rewardful is running, links your affiliates posted months ago still resolve, and you can compare the two tools' attributed sales side by side to check the migration actually worked.

Migration help
Migration is free on every plan, whether you use the direct importer or bring a CSV. Bring the export, the list of campaigns you need rebuilt and your cutover date, and we will plan it with you.
Managed, done-for-you migration is part of Enterprise and the agency plans rather than every tier. For context on how the category prices this: Trackdesk includes migration and implementation assistance from its Business plan, which starts at $329 a month.
