Get started/Cloud and self-hosted

Cloud and self-hosted

Self-hosted Supaffi is the whole product. Cloud runs it for you.

Supaffi comes in two editions. Self-hosted is free under AGPL-3.0 and runs on your own server today. Supaffi Cloud runs the same product for you and is open to a waitlist.

What is the same

Every product feature works the same in both editions, and these docs apply to both. Nothing is removed from self-hosted to make room for Cloud.

  • Unlimited products, programs and affiliates.
  • Recurring commissions, holding periods, refund and dispute handling.
  • The affiliate portal on a subdomain of your site.
  • Self-referral detection and the Payouts page.
  • Stripe as the payment provider.

Pages that only concern running your own server are in the Self-hosting section. Where another page differs on Cloud, a note says so.

Which one to pick

Self-host if:

  • You already run a Linux server, or are happy to rent one and keep it updated.
  • You want your affiliates' data on infrastructure you control.
  • You want it free, with the source available to read and change.

Join the Cloud waitlist if:

  • You would rather not run a server, updates or backups.
  • You run several products and want affiliates to use one login across them.

Self-hosting needs

  • A Linux server with a public IPv4 address, root access, git and openssl. The installer offers to install Docker 24 or later if it is missing.
  • Ports 80, 443 and 3443 reachable, or your own reverse proxy on 80 and 443.
  • A domain you control, for each product's affiliate subdomain.
