* Spreedly integration built-in! Use Spreedly for your subscriptions and recurring payments are automatically applied to the referring affiliate!
* Free for 60 days, then $xx/month after that.

Comments
bhauman: Thanks for the comments. As we develop out the app, we’ll keep everyone updated at @affiliapp.
Great job! I can see this being immediately useful to my business restaurantzite.com . I watched the screencasts and will be interested to learn more about api integration.
Jeremy, thank you for the review and comments. A gem and API are certainly coming up. These will allow you to directly notify the app of a payment and let you host your own affiliate enrollment forms. AffiliApp development continues with an expected sneak-preview of the next release in September. Thanks again.
This is a fantastic idea, especially the Spreedly integration. Create a gem I can use with our payment system and we’d probably be sold on using it.
I should also mention the screen casts, as they do a good job of further demonstrating AffiliApp. http://screenr.com/user/smeade. Thank you.
Ryan, thank you very much for the comments. As we continue to build the product and business around AffiliApp, clearly communicating the value and benefit is one of the first things we are working on. Over the last couple days, I’ve been contacted by a few projects interested in using the product so development will definately continue. Thank you again for the review and input.
Useful idea with a very straight forward, easy-installation approach. I applaud the idea and think the post-login content is quite good! The external pages do not do the technology / benefit justice… but there is much more than can be done here over the coming weeks and there is a business model that can be tacked on. Exciting opportunity.
Sorry, I had url placeholders that were removed by textile. Here is the intended comment:
Hi, this is Scott, the author of AffiliApp. For those trying out the app, I wanted to clarify that you can still track subscribers even without a Spreedly account. To do so, you would still submit the subscriber link like this:
http://affiliapp.com/playbookiq/subscribers/:subscriber_id/subscribe/:plan_id/:screen_name
You can try that out.
1. Follow an affiliate’s link like http://affiliapp.com/playbookiq/referred/JOHNSMITH, if you have not yet done so.
2. Go to a url like http://affiliapp.com/playbookiq/subscribers/:SUBID/subscribe/1710/screenname, replacing :SUBID with a random subscriber id (one that has not yet subscribed).
3. You should now see a new subscriber in the PlaybookIQ program, credited to whichever affiliate link you first followed.
Or, you can paste this into the browser url, replacing playbookiq with your short name that was set up in the site or program set up to see it work from start to finish.
Thank you,
Scott

http://affiliapp.com//subscribers//subscribe//
You can try that out. If you are logged in as the sample user and have already followed an affiliate’s link, you can enter a url like http://affiliapp.com/playbookiq/subscribers//subscribe/1710/screenname, replacing with a random subscriber id (one that has not yet subscribed).
