Adtraction

What Adtraction does

Adtraction Group AB is a Stockholm-headquartered, publicly listed (Nasdaq First North Growth Market, ticker ADTG) full-service partner marketing platform operating across 12 European countries. Founded in 2007, the company operates a two-sided affiliate marketplace connecting e-commerce brands with publishers, influencers, content creators, and deal/coupon sites. Brands gain access to a curated partner base and unified program management, while partners receive free access to brand programs, tracking links, product feeds, and commission reporting.

The core technology stack centers on affiliate tracking and attribution (cookie-based plus server-side via Stape.io), a public REST API (v2 and v3) with token-based authentication for programmatic reporting and link management, and a broad integration ecosystem spanning Shopify, Google Ads, Zapier, Pipedream, ProfitMetrics, Funnel.io, Supermetrics, Dataddo, Windsor.ai, and multiple data warehouse connectors. Supporting products include the Bundler subsidiary (bundling/deal aggregation), RevShare (revenue-share tracking for subscription/SaaS models), Adtraction Plus (managed add-on), and a Chrome extension plus mobile app for partners.

The business model combines monthly brand subscriptions (Self-managed EUR 149/mo, Managed EUR 249/mo, Full Service EUR 499/mo) with a percentage take of commissions paid by brands to their affiliate partners. Partners join the platform free of charge, monetized indirectly through brand-side fees. Revenue concentration sits across enterprise retail and consumer brand logos (Flying Tiger, SodaStream, Hello Fresh, Nordic Nest, Skullcandy, Kitlocker, Lyko) supplemented by a long-tail of SMB and mid-market brands onboarded via self-serve and local sales teams in each market.

Revenue model

1. Brand Subscription Fees: Adtraction charges brands a monthly subscription fee for access to its affiliate marketing platform. Three tiers are offered: Self-managed (149 EUR/mo), Managed (249 EUR/mo), and Full service (499 EUR/mo). This is the primary recurring revenue stream from brands.
2. Affiliate Commission (Cost-Per-Acquisition): In addition to subscription fees, brands pay a percentage of the commission they pay out to their affiliate partners. This creates a transaction-based revenue component aligned with performance.
3. Partner Platform (Free for Partners): Affiliate partners join the platform for free and earn commissions through their promotional activities. Partners are monetized indirectly through the brand subscription and commission model rather than directly.
