How does attribution work?
Last click wins. An affiliate link is your own URL with ?via= on the end; the snippet stores that code in a first-party cookie on your domain, and a later link from a different affiliate replaces it. When someone signs up, you read the code and put it on the Stripe customer you create for them. From then on every charge for that customer credits that affiliate, including renewals.
What counts as a sale?
Any successful charge in your connected Stripe account from a referred customer: one-time purchases, subscription payments, and renewals if your commission rule includes them. Free trials convert when they become paying customers.
What happens on refunds?
A fully refunded charge voids its commission, as long as that commission has not been paid out yet. Once it has been paid, it stays paid — we never reverse it or net it off the affiliate's next payout. The affiliate earned it on a sale that completed, and every commission is held for 30 days before it can be paid out, so a refund almost always lands while there is still something to void.
What do I install on my site?
One script tag with nothing to configure, plus one line where your app already creates its Stripe customer: put the affiliate's code in the customer's metadata. That's the whole integration — Stripe handles the rest.
How many campaigns can I run?
As many as you like. One plan covers every campaign and every affiliate on your account, so running a second product costs nothing extra.
How is AffiliateKit different from Rewardful?
Flat pricing — one monthly fee instead of a bill that climbs with your revenue. Affiliates get one login across every AffiliateKit program they promote. And we're Stripe-only by design, which keeps the integration honest and small.
Can I cancel?
Anytime. Every account starts with 14 free days, and if you cancel during them you are never charged. After that your plan runs to the end of the period you have paid for.
