FAQ
Stripe affiliate program FAQs
Answers about Stripe, tracking, refunds, and how affiliates get paid.
No. Stripe processes payments. It does not include affiliate links, partner portals, commission rules, or payouts for your product. You connect affiliate software to Stripe. Stripe's own partner programs promote Stripe, not your product.
