Stripe Affiliate Program

Stripe takes the payment. It does not run your affiliate program. Affonso connects to Stripe so you can track trials and recurring revenue, set commissions, and pay affiliates.

Stripe doesn't run affiliates

Stripe is a payment processor. Affiliate management sits on top of it.

  • No native affiliate links, portals, or commission rules in Stripe
  • You need software on top of your Stripe billing
  • Affonso connects to Stripe so you can set commissions and invite affiliates

What Stripe affiliate tracking must cover

The payment events that have to map back to a referral.

  • Trials that convert later
  • One-time charges and subscriptions
  • Renewals and upgrades
  • Refunds that reverse commission
  • Checkout sessions and Payment Links

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.
