Stop 1

Jane shares her link, and someone clicks

The link records the click, checks it for bots and datacenter traffic, and lands the visitor on your pricing page with a signed token.

One script tag on your site keeps that token for your attribution window. On Stripe Payment Links it's passed to checkout with no extra code. Every billing tool's setup is one step more at most.

Fraud queue: coupon_hijack on SPRING40 froze the affiliate, while asn_reputation, self_referral and click_velocity each placed a hold. Below, 6 held commissions with affiliate, amount and reason.

Stop 2

The sale arrives, and 12 rules run

Your billing tool sends the sale. Before it credits a cent, AffiliateTracking checks it against 12 fraud rules: self-referral, duplicate accounts, coupon hijack, click velocity and more.

Most sales pass and credit right away. This one used a coupon that leaked to a deal site, so a rule fired.

Stop 3

The money waits, with the evidence

The commission waits instead of paying out. The verdict says which rule fired and why, so you can decide in a minute instead of digging.

Release it and it's paid on the next run. Uphold it and the commission goes, with the ledger showing exactly what came back. Every rule and what it catches.

Admin fraud tab: 4 verdicts, each with its rule, subject, reason and action, above the list of held commissions with amounts.
Affiliate portal on demo data: earnings cards on top, then a ledger of 7 journals. Six are maturations and one is a $29.50 clawback. Each shows 2 lines, a journal sum of 0 and a running balance.

Stop 4

Every cent lands in a ledger that balances

Clean sales become journals: money moves from expense into a 30-day hold, then into what you owe the affiliate. Every journal's lines sum to zero.

A refund posts its own journal and takes back the same share. Nobody edits a journal after the fact. A worked sale, journal by journal.

Stop 5

Payday starts with a dry run

Pick a minimum and run it dry first. You see who'd be paid and how much, with refunds already netted and held sales left out.

Then you send the money from your own PayPal, Wise or bank, and approve the run so the ledger records it. What a payout run checks.

Payout run on demo data: a 1000 cent minimum, method manual and dry run ticked, listing 5 affiliates with their commission count and amount, from $1289.00 down to $223.00.
Affiliate portal on demo data: unpaid $1289.00, payable from ledger, paid $6124.00, 6214 clicks, 38 conversions and $0.22 per click, above a green line reading Ledger proof holds.

Stop 6

Jane sees the same numbers you do

Her portal shows clicks, sales, what's held and what's paid, from the same ledger. A green line confirms her balance matches the books.

She can build links to any allowed page and tag them by source, so she knows which of her posts sells.

That's the tour.
