Is impact.com suitable for smaller shops as well?

impact.com primarily targets mid-sized and larger brands with more complex partner setups. For small shops with manageable campaigns, a classic network plus self-service coupons is often the simpler combination.

How does Mioscoupon self-service fit with impact.com?

Mioscoupon self-service is independent of the impact.com setup and can selectively add reach where fixed-fee placements and the Mioscoupon DACH portal network are involved.
