These affiliate tracking integrations connect AffiliateTracking to the tool that takes your payments. Your billing tool reports each sale, renewal and refund. AffiliateTracking works out who sent it and what they're owed.

Each one gets its own setup guide, with every event it sends and what AffiliateTracking does with it.
One script tag on your site and one restricted key. Payment Links, the Pricing Table and the Buy Button need nothing else.
Your checkout passes the affiliate's token to Paddle in one line. After that, Paddle's webhook does the rest.
Add the token to your checkout links as custom data. Orders, renewals and refunds all report back.
Lemon Squeezy setupSave the token in one customer custom field at checkout. Every paid invoice after that credits the same affiliate.
Chargebee setupSave the token in one account custom field when you create the account. Renewals, refunds and voids follow.
Recurly setupThe same questions for each billing tool, answered the same way.
| Billing tool | How the first sale finds its affiliate | Renewals | Refunds | Webhook address |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stripe | The script, or your Checkout Session | Yes | Yes | /webhooks/stripe |
| Paddle | custom_data.token at checkout | Yes | Yes | /webhooks/paddle |
| Lemon Squeezy | checkout[custom][token] on the link | Yes | Yes | /webhooks/lemonsqueezy |
| Chargebee | The cf_aff_token customer field | Yes | Yes | /webhooks/chargebee |
| Recurly | The aff_token account field | Yes | Yes | /webhooks/recurly |
Whichever tool sends it, an event takes the same path before any affiliate earns a cent.
A signature or password check runs before anything touches the database. A forged event goes nowhere.
Billing tools resend events. The same event arriving twice changes nothing the second time.
Rules like self-referral, coupon hijack and bot traffic hold a sale with the evidence, before the payout run.
Each sale is a journal whose lines sum to zero, so balances can't drift.
A refund takes back the same share of the commission. Already paid? It comes off the next payout.
The first affiliate to bring a customer keeps them, so every renewal after credits the same person.
Other ways in and out, plus what isn't on the list.
Stripe, Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, Chargebee and Recurly, on cloud and on self-host. Other checkouts, like Shopify, can't report sales to it yet.
Not for Stripe Payment Links, the Pricing Table or the Buy Button. For the others, someone adds one line or one field to your checkout code. The rest happens in settings.
No. Every billing integration is on every cloud plan and in self-host.
In your workspace settings. Stripe connects with one restricted key. The others show their webhook address and a field for the secret or password.
Yes. Each one has its own webhook address, and they all write to the same ledger.
Try cloud free for 14 days. Or buy self-host for $99 once.
