At XP Affiliate, we believe there’s a better way to do affiliate marketing. A smarter, more efficient way where partnerships are built, not just transactions. And we’re passionate (some might say obsessed) about making that happen. Our mission? To revolutionize the way businesses grow through affiliates. We focus on removing the headaches and complexity, empowering both merchants and affiliates to scale faster and easier. Affiliate marketing is often misunderstood and, let’s be honest, can be a bit of a jungle…but we see that as a massive opportunity. With our network, we’re making it simpler, more transparent, and built for the future.
XP Affiliate is a name that was inspired by two sources: Our parent company Exponential Partners, whose name says it all…massive growth through a variety of new partners…and my son, who is obsessed with getting “XP” (Experience Points) in his games. Like my son, we want our merchants and affiliates to WIN. That has been our driving force, our passion, from day one.
