Invite partners who earn a commission on one-time purchases or subscriptions, with a dashboard for them and automatic payouts through Stripe.

The video for this guide is coming soon. The written steps below cover everything.

Sign up for Stripe ↗No monthly fee; a small cut of each payment

What you get

Invite-only affiliates with their own link and dashboard. Commissions can be one-time, a percentage of every subscription payment for a set number of months, or forever. Refunds reverse commission automatically, and payouts go through Stripe Connect.

Steps

  1. In Stripe, turn on Connect with Express accounts, and in your webhook tick Listen to events on Connected accounts with account.updated.
  2. Admin → Affiliates: invite a partner with their commission rule.
  3. They set up payouts from their dashboard at /affiliate.
  4. Choose automatic payouts, the hold period, and the minimum in Admin → Settings.

Check it works

Visit your own referral link in a private window, sign up, and see the referral on the affiliate's page.
