Case Study: Skylum achieves scalable affiliate growth and stronger community engagement with FastSpring

Skylum fuels its growth and nurtures its community with FastSpring

Skylum, a California-based leader in digital photography software (formerly Macphun), needed a selective affiliate program to strengthen and reward its photography community while maintaining brand quality as it moved beyond Apple Store sales and scaled globally. The challenge was to recruit reputable photographers, track affiliate performance, and preserve community trust while growing revenue.

FastSpring’s Affiliate Platform — easy to configure and supported end-to-end by FastSpring’s team — provided order management, payment automation, detailed reporting (impressions, clicks, conversions), and access to an affiliate network, plus handling of taxes and currencies. The result: Skylum can identify and promote high-performing partners, optimize underperformers, scale into new markets, boost ROI, and continue nurturing its community.
