What this blueprint gives you

The “affiliate program in a box” model for an indie SaaS: a partner portal where affiliates sign up, get a trackable link, watch clicks and conversions in near real time, and get paid on a schedule the founder controls.

Built for SaaS that does $5k–$500k MRR and wants to launch a partner program without an enterprise contract or a percentage of revenue taken off the top. Five planning documents (BRAND, MRD, BRD, PRD, DESIGN) at senior depth, covering attribution rules, payout pipelines, fraud controls, and a founder dashboard that makes the whole program a single screen of truth.

MRD — SaaS Affiliate Hub The problem Indie SaaS founders who want to grow through partners face a frustrating choice. The enterprise affiliate networks take 20–30% of every payout and require contracts and account managers. The self serve "affiliate" plugins from large platforms are either buried inside another SaaS or barely track conversions correctly. Wiring it up by hand means writing attribution code, building a partner portal, calculating commissions across refunds and proration, schedulin
