SaaS for Digital Product Resellers: Affiliate & Access Management

Published on 09/23/2025 Marketing Opportunities

This post highlights a direct need for managing digital product sales, particularly 'seats' or access, and an associated affiliate program. The user is actively seeking help to sell 500 Canva Pro seats and offering a commission. A SaaS product could streamline this process for similar digital product resellers. The product would function as a platform for:

  1. Inventory Management: Track available digital product licenses/seats.
  2. Affiliate Management: Allow sellers to set up affiliate programs, generate unique tracking links, track sales per affiliate, and automate commission payouts ($5/sale mentioned).
  3. Access Provisioning: Automatically grant buyers access (e.g., send an email with login details or instructions) upon successful payment.
  4. Payment Processing: Integrate with payment gateways to handle transactions.
  5. Analytics: Provide dashboards for sellers to monitor sales, affiliate performance, and revenue.

Expected Revenue: This SaaS could operate on a tiered subscription model based on the number of products listed, number of active affiliates, or transaction volume. Alternatively, a transaction fee percentage on sales processed through the platform could be applied. Given the scale implied (500 seats), individual resellers or small digital agencies would likely pay a recurring fee to manage multiple such campaigns efficiently. Potential revenue could range from $49-$299/month per reseller, depending on features and usage.
