Landing Platform vs impact.com: partnerships without a sales cut
impact.com is a partnership management platform with a partner marketplace. Landing runs your affiliate and partner programmes alongside your CRM, email, pages, checkout, invoicing and reporting, so every partner sale lands where the rest of the business can use it.
Landing suits you if
- You want affiliates and partners without a percentage of partner sales on top
- You want each referral in the CRM, the checkout and the reports, not a separate dashboard
- You want partners paid by Stripe Connect transfer, from the same system that took the order
Where the partnership bill grows.
A partnership platform is one more line on the stack. It is rarely the last.
A fee on every partner sale
impact.com lists a transaction fee on partner-driven sales on its plans, so the platform cost rises with the programme's success.
Tiers that jump
Plans step up from a small starter fee to much larger monthly tiers, with enterprise features behind a sales call and a one-time setup fee.
The rest of the stack
Partner revenue still has to reach a CRM, an email tool, a checkout and invoicing bought elsewhere, and someone has to reconcile them.

a month on Landing, billed yearly, ex VAT
Includes affiliate and partner programmes, payouts, CRM, email, pages, checkout, invoicing and attribution.
Work out your own priceExample team: four people who run partnerships, marketing and sales every day, eight who approve, pick up tasks and read reports. Affiliates and partners sign in free, however many you recruit.
Switching is our job, not yours.
We move you over one tool a month, against success criteria we agree with you up front. You don't pay until we prove each one is ready.
We map your programme
We go through your programmes, commission rules, affiliates and how you pay out, and the tools around them. Then we write down what "ready" means, for example every affiliate able to sign in and last month's commissions matching.
We move impact.com across
We move your partners, commission terms, referral history and payout records across while impact.com keeps tracking. We run both side by side until the commissions agree.
You check it, then you pay
You check it on real sales: a referral tracked, a commission worked out, a payout ready to send. Billing starts only once it meets the criteria you signed off. Then we move the next tool, one a month.
But we already use impact.com.
Fair. Here are the questions teams ask us most when they are weighing it up.
How do we recruit partners on Landing?
Each programme gets a public sign-up page with the approval rule you choose, and approved partners get a portal in your brand with their coupon code, materials and earnings. Business partners can join a referral network with scoring and service areas. The partners you already have come across with you.
Is there a percentage fee on partner sales on Landing?
No. You pay for your Builders and Members and the contacts you market to. Affiliates and partners sign in free, and a bigger programme does not raise the fee.
Can Landing pay partners automatically?
Yes. Commissions build up against each sale, wait out the holdback period you set, and are paid by Stripe Connect transfer. A refund inside the window claws back at the rate of the original sale.
What happens to our tracking links when we switch?
We move affiliates, coupon codes and referral history across and run both systems side by side until the numbers agree, so promotions keep earning while you change over.
