Creator affiliate programs

Creator program for mobile apps

Give every creator a dashboard and a tracked install link. You see which posts drive installs and in-app purchases. They see only their numbers.

What a creator affiliate program needs

A creator program for an app is three jobs in one product. Each partner needs a private login. Each post needs a link you can measure. Each viewer who already has the app needs a code that still pays the creator when you are on Pro. Tap App Link is built for that shape.

Creator dashboards scoped to one person
Tracking links that route to the App Store or Google Play
Discount codes on Pro that attribute a typed code at checkout
Payout invoices you close and pay yourself

You invite. They promote. You reward.

Creators share a URL on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or a newsletter. Tap App Link records the click and sends the viewer to the right store. On first open the SDK matches that tap to the install inside a 7-day window. That is influencer app tracking: which partner drove the install, then which purchases followed.

After setAppUserId(), RevenueCat, Superwall, Adapty, or Qonversion webhooks attach subscriptions and one-time buys to that creator. See RevenueCat creator attribution if that is your billing provider.

How a program runs

Invite a creator. They get a login and a link on go.tapapplink.com.
They share the link or, on Pro, the code.
You see installs and attributed revenue. They see the same numbers for their links only.
Close a payout window, pay them, and mark the invoice paid.

Test the path in Sandbox with the Live Attribution Debugger. Live payouts stay on production.
