Reviews of PartnerStack
Partnerstacks The Best Market Platform
Comments: It has been a very good experience cause even though I was affiliating I also joined some companies for their products cause I also needed them for my company which sells clothing.
Pros:
I loved that they include Alot of companies and you can apply to the companies without much hassle and you are able to work instantly when you get a reply getting everything to help with your promo.
Cons:
Honestly it has to be payments made on the 14/15th of every month.
Highly Satisfied with PartnerStack's Services
Comments: Overall, we have had a great experience with PartnerStack. We have been able to quickly and easily set up our affiliate program and have seen great results with it.
Pros:
PartnerStack has been a great asset to our business. Their team is always available to answer any questions we have and they offer great customer service. The platform is easy to use and the integration process was seamless.
Cons:
The only downside to PartnerStack is that it can be quite expensive compared to some of the other platforms out there.
Failing at the basics of their tool
Comments: not good.
Pros:
Having all the tools in an overview is really nice and what a lot of competitors don't have.
Cons:
They just don't log anyone who signed up using your link (being affiliate). Having 450+ clicks within Partnerstack and no referrals it made me wonder, especially when you have purchases already at stand alone tools. Signed up myself (using their link) to some tools and it didn't even tracked them.
The ultimate solution for partner management.
Comments: Overall everything is straightforward and easy to use and they have all the affiliate programs we use.
Pros:
PS dashboard is easy to read and you can see analytics, partnership commissions, activity and even suggestions for new partnerships.Above all it is incredible to have everything in one place so you don't have need to wonder around and use different tools and processes for each of our partners.
Cons:
I have not found any cons so far.The support articles helped us get set up quickly and their is no need to contact support directly.
Affiliate Program Manager
Pros:
I am an affiliate partner of Quickbooks and other business and I manage all of them in one place on Partnerstack. I don't have to worry about payout or having to log on different web to track how my links are functioning or how I am getting paid.
Cons:
To Paypal payment arrangement isn't good at all. But they do direct deposit so for me I have that option at-least.
Best and Easiest to use Affiliate Network
Comments: PartnerStack help's me by gathering all the websites in one place and join them as an affiliate. Most of the program has inhouse affiliate program and they have also joined PartnerStack so it's better to join PartnerStack for me as an affiliate rather than joining single website's affiliate program.
Pros:
I like the reporting feature the most. I can keep track of my referrals like when they signed up and how they are doing, what they have purchased and their emails.
Cons:
They payment method that they have. They only have Stripe and PayPal and it's difficult to use both of them in my country. I want them to add Payoneer too as a payment method to their affiliate users.
It is easy to make extra cash while helping businesses reach their goals.
Comments: I am happy with the service and products they offer.
Pros:
It is easy to use and navigate around. I also have lots of partners to choose from. They pay out faster.
Cons:
Nothing yet, I don't have any problems or issues
I'm Satisfied and Always in the Partnerstack
Comments: I have been using partnerstack almost a year and I haven't faced any issues. The Benefits I realized was my income is growing and growing while learning the platform.
Pros:
To manage the entire partner funnel: from recruitment and application, resource management, referral tracking. The platform is user-friendly, easy to use, and has many programs you can join. Integrating with PartnerStack is a simple process when you understand your program and reward configurations. Given the unique needs of my business.
Cons:
None so far. All the product aspects is working and I’m very glad. No. All is smooth and really enjoyable.
Easy to use
Comments: The programs that are advertised in PartnerStack fit very well in the theme of my site todoproyectos.com so the earnings and the conversion factor is very good
Pros:
The program is very easy to use and most of its programs adapt well to the theme of my blog, the earnings from using PartnerStack are high, in less than two months I have earned more than 1000 dollars
Cons:
I really don't have negative comments for this program
Easy to use and easy to verify a massive positive ROI. Not to mention, a great support team!
Pros:
GrowSumo is super easy to set up and use and we saw a positive ROI within weeks of signing up. It's fairly easy to sign up and get started. Also, it's easy for affiliate partners to sign up and start sharing your links. There's a good amount of customization, which makes it easy to keep all your affiliates happy. We've looked into and tired much more expensive affiliate companies that have high monthly minimums and costs, and I can honestly say GrowSumo is better than them because of its easy of use and affordability. Also, if you have any questions, their support team will respond promptly and provide clear answers. They've even written articles just to answer our specific questions and to help explain processes to our affiliates. Canadian kindness at its best!
Cons:
Really can't think of any cons. If I've ever had any concerns or pieces of the software I didn't love or understand, I worked with the GrowSumo team to fix them or explain ways to make it work. It's nice to work with an affiliate company you don't have to worry about if it's worth it.
Most Intuitive and Affiliate(user) Friendly Dashboard in the Industry
Comments: PartnerStack has helped me increase my affiliate earnings and overall I am happy with the way it is. Easy to run my affiliate business, join new companies, track referral clicks and get paid out once every month.
Pros:
Listed below are the features I like most as an Affiliate: 1) Simple and easy to use interface. 2) Get what you are looking for in fewest possible clicks. 3) Get to connect with many SaaS companies in one place. 4) I can withdraw my earnings through Stripe or Paypal. 5) Marketplace is a place which lists all the companies that have joined PartnerStack. I can choose and join the ones I want. 6) I can also add Team members to help run my business. 7) Easy to create custom tracking links. 8) Easy to participate in inbuilt contest/promotions run by companies from time to time. 9) I can see my current and past referral activity for links. 10) They have a wonderful Resources tab were I can learn more about the company I have joined. 11) Another great feature I like is their inbuilt chat system were both the company and affiliate can send each other message. 12) Prompt customer service provided by PartnerStack.
Cons:
One feature(suggestion) I like to have in PartnerStack dashboard is that there should be a way were an affiliate can get a list of contests/promotions running in the current month. It will make like easier for affiliates, save time and earn more.
I daily use partner stack & earning great.
Comments: Iam using partner stack from almost 2 years & i have got many rewards from it. Iam very satisfied from their service.
Pros:
I like this partner program system where we can join program & after accepted, we have to do certain task like reffering friends, etc. After doing task we get certain reward from the program.
Cons:
I think the cons of this software is the withdrawal time is long. It would be better if the withdrawal time is 1 week.
Super easy and next level affiliate program
Comments: The time we are saving by switching from manual management and payouts is a huge benefit. PartnerStack is completely fulfilling the former need to build an internally developed system, which would be costly and difficult to maintain. We are fairly new to the program but we have already seen the quick benefits via our motivated affiliates within the first few days of providing their custom links. The email flows, automated triggers, and simple to create challenges have given us the opportunity to curate a flow that drives referrals to our business AND caters to our existing affiliates.
Pros:
Quick and easy affiliate payouts will save our team hours each week. We are now able to automate payouts that integrate with our billing system. There are endless opportunities to engage our current affiliates and expand our reach via the marketplace. We are loving the intuitive dashboard and custom links that are generated at the click of a button.
Cons:
We have no complaints so far! We have had one or two requests that have required a manual workaround, but the PartnerStack team has been very responsive to the feedback we have provided. If I'm being 'nit-picky' having more robust reporting and metrics would be useful, however, we are able to integrate with our current reporting platform, making this a non-issue at the moment.
Excellent Secondary Source of Income
Comments: Overall, I'm incredibly pleased with PartnerStack and how it has let me earn additional income needed to run my website and business. I have run ad campaigns, hosted the site, and bought the domain name mostly on the back of my earnings, which is just incredible for me.
Pros:
For me, PartnerStack is very easy to use with the simplified user interface. Your rewards, their status, and access to links is right in your face and easy to find. It means that I can spend less time on the site, and less time deploying links on my site, and still earn some much needed income.
Cons:
I wish there was more than 50 links allowed for the vendor I use, Reverb.com. I'm not sure if Reverb or PartnerStack is the one limiting it, but for me, I need quite a few traceable links on a weekly basis and it has made me have to re-evaluate what I want to try and monetize on.
Simplistic and One of the Best Platforms for Affiliate Marketing.
Pros:
PartnerStack is a great affiliate marketing platform to work with. The most sober thing is the simplicity of its features that are easily understandable by any newbie to the field of affiliate marketing and ofcourse, the timely payments (due to automatic payments feature) and stripe as a payment method (for cost reduction) is an extra additive that adds a prolong value to the users/affiliates and their management.
Cons:
A commendable platform but one thing that I want to recommend is the enablement of two factor authentication for extra security and protection of the PartnerStack Account.
Almost perfect
Comments: So far the best part of the experience has been the onboarding support. The team is great and has been generous with their time in helping us achieve what we need.
Pros:
The best part of the setup with Partnerstack is the ease of creating custom fields in your forms when registering leads and new partners.
Cons:
The biggest bummer with Partnerstack was its lack of direct integrations with CRMs. We use Hubspot which is fairly popular and were hoping to find a quick way to implement PS with our CRM. The workaround is using a 3rd party platform like their preference, workato. Unfortunately, we don't use Workato but use Zapier, which is also possible, though their documentation for Zapier seemed a bit out of date and their team had to help us out with the setup.
E X C E P T I O N A L! They are a stellar company with stellar people.
Pros:
I could spend an entire afternoon singing praises for GrowSumo's platform and for their team. Their software has continuously helped me within my role in more ways than I could have ever imagined, and I know they will continue to strive to support me and my company! That's quality and genuine business and customer care. There are a lot of new features that I am extremely eager and excited to start implementing, and I am looking forward to what's to come. GrowSumo goes above and beyond to assist their customers, they provide an ample amount of resources, as well as help simplify your day to day tasks. They are the absolute best and I think you will all agree with me if you gave them a chance to help amplify your business!
Cons:
I don't have anything negative to say about GrowSumo other than I wish they were local so I could hug them and bake them cakes.
Excellent Affiliate Marketplace
Comments: My overall experience with using PartnerStack as an affiliate marketer has been excellent
Pros:
The feature I like the most about PartnerStack is their Marketplace
Cons:
So far I don't have any cons or dislikes
Great for referrals
Comments: I’ve never had a problem always found it easy to use.
Pros:
This is a fantastic tool which not only rewards loyal customers but also encourages them to do your marketing for you. It’s easy to use which is essential when dealing with customers.

The fact that the payments are shown in usd
PartnerStack experience
Comments: Very good relationship and manage with Aircall Partner
Pros:
Very easy to manage, simple navigation and excellent UX
Cons:
Not translate in spanish language and need more payment gateways
Great affiliate tool
Pros:
Great dashboard for affiliates. Great Marketplace with great software tools to promote.
Cons:
Having a email notification when a transaction occurs would be a great feature to add.
A good solution for a growing list of partners
Pros:
I like the ability to manage and refer clients while keeping it all together under one roof.
Cons:
Not all platforms we partner with use this, especially large providers. For PartnerStack to have the most value it'll need to be an almost universally adopted amongst all platforms we use and sell.

PartnerStack helps me manage affiliate links
Comments: Easy to use and get paid out. Would recommend.
