Freemius has first-class support for affiliate features. You can invite your users to become affiliates of your product and earn a commission on every referred sale. They can also easily apply to your affiliate program through our WordPress SDK or the Customer Portal.

However, for direct SaaS and App integrations, we understand that makers need API access to integrate affiliate functionality in a way that fits their products. This week, we’re rolling out API documentation for Affiliate Operations. You can head over to our API documentation site to explore it right now.

As usual, the documentation is also available as an OpenAPI spec file, which you can use with AI tools or any compatible client generator.

We hope this makes it easier to integrate affiliate features directly into your SaaS & Apps and build an affiliate experience that fits naturally into your product.

Freemius supports various advanced license utilization techniques, one of which is automatic localhost or staging licenses. As a maker, you can choose to provide unlimited activations on localhost or staging websites. This allows your customers to purchase once and test your product across different environments, as long as they are not production sites.

Freemius already supports a wide range of known staging sites. In addition, you can provide custom localhost domains per user. This feature is useful when one of your users is working with a custom staging domain and you want to grant them additional localhost or staging activations.

However, some makers reported that longer custom localhost or staging URLs were being truncated, causing activation issues for their customers.

To provide a smoother experience and better accommodate custom staging environments, we have increased the limit from 64 characters to 128 characters. We hope this will cover the majority of your use cases.
