Moving from Rewardful to Referralmeter

Bring your affiliates and their referral codes across, keep every ?via= link they already posted working, and prove the new setup tracks before you switch Rewardful off.

  1. 1

    Install Referralmeter next to the old script

    Sign up, then paste the install prompt into Claude Code, Cursor or Lovable. Leave the Rewardful script (rw.js) in place for now: both can run at once, and nothing is switched off until the new setup is proven.

    > Install Referralmeter with my key and verify it end to end.
  2. 2

    Import your affiliates from Rewardful

    Importing is part of Pro ($49/month). In the dashboard, open Affiliates and choose the Rewardful import, then paste an API key from your Rewardful settings. We bring across each affiliate's name, email, status and referral code. The key is used for the import only.

    Your affiliates don't need to sign up again. They get a sign-in link to their new portal when you're ready to tell them.

  3. 3

    Old links keep working

    The Referralmeter script reads ?via= as well as its own parameters, so a link like yourapp.com/?via=sarah still credits Sarah, because her code was imported unchanged. Nobody has to replace links in old videos, posts or newsletters.

  4. 4

    Point checkout at Referralmeter

    Rewardful passes the referral into Stripe as client_reference_id. Referralmeter reads referralmeter_ref from checkout metadata. Your agent makes this change during install; if you set up checkout by hand, it is one line in the code that creates the checkout session. For Polar, Lemon Squeezy, Paddle, Creem and Dodo the docs show the field for each provider.

  5. 5

    Prove it, then switch the old one off

    Run the verification from the dashboard. It sends a test click, signup, test-mode payment, commission and refund through your real setup and issues a certificate. When it passes, remove the Rewardful script (rw.js), stop the Rewardful webhook, and cancel at the end of your billing period.

    Commission and payout history stays in Rewardful. Export it to CSV for your records before you cancel. Referralmeter calculates commissions from the first payment after you connect billing.

Leave Rewardful without losing a single link.

Free until your affiliates bring in $1,000 a month. Then $49, flat, however much they sell.
