# PartnerStack

> PartnerStack is a Toronto-born partner relationship management platform for B2B software companies. It combines workflow software, a marketplace of more than 138,000 partners, attribution, training, CRM connections, and automated commission payments, giving SaaS vendors one place to recruit and operate affiliate, referral, influencer, reseller, and co-sell programs. The company began when four founders noticed that the only part of their failing nonprofit collaboration startup that worked was its commission-based sales channel; AppDirect acquired PartnerStack in April 2026 to join that network with subscription-commerce and cloud-marketplace infrastructure.
