Affiliate program quickstart

Start by choosing where the payment happens. Tracking a referral click is only the first step; the paid sale must also reach Plandalf.

Note. Early access These guides describe the current affiliate preview. Use test mode to verify your checkout and renewal flow before launching.

Choose your setup guide

Create the program

  1. Open Affiliates and create your program.
  2. Choose your commission rate, click window, and approval hold period.
  3. For subscriptions, choose Every payment for a set period or Every payment, ongoing if renewals should earn. First payment only excludes later renewals.
  4. Choose your partner application and approval settings.
  5. Open Affiliates → Setup and copy your organization’s script and test partner link.

Use the actual script URL shown in Setup. The acme.plandalf.dev host in the docs is a placeholder.

Prove the whole flow

  • Open the test partner link and confirm a click appears under Setup.
  • Complete a test payment through your real checkout flow.
  • Open the test sale and verify the partner and commission.
  • For subscriptions, trigger a second paid test invoice without another referral click.
  • Replay an event and test a refund so duplicate payments and adjustments are covered.

The setup checklist uses observed events. A green tracking step proves click capture; it does not prove your external checkout is reporting paid sales or renewals.

Choose how to pay affiliates

Under Affiliates → Settings → Paying your affiliates, use manual payments to start. Select PayPal, bank transfer, or Wise if affiliates should supply those payment details. Exporting a file does not send money.

You can configure direct PayPal payments separately. Stripe affiliate payouts are disabled in this release. This does not disable Stripe checkout or subscription tracking.

Read Pay partners for the payout workflow.
