Overview
PartnerStack is a Partner Relationship Management (PRM) platform that helps B2B companies recruit, activate, track, and reward partners across affiliate, referral, reseller, and co-sell motions. It centralizes partner onboarding, commission and payout management, and partner-performance analytics, and gives partners a marketplace through which to discover new programs. As of April 2026, PartnerStack is part of AppDirect, a B2B subscription commerce platform company.
The problem PartnerStack solves
B2B SaaS companies that want to launch or scale affiliate, referral, reseller, or co-sell partner programs need a way to recruit partners, track referred deals, and pay commissions without building this infrastructure themselves. PartnerStack addresses this for teams from startup to enterprise, though buyers should expect quote-based pricing with no public starting price, and partners in the program have reported payout-timing friction.

How to evaluate PartnerStack
