Get up and running in minutes with these simple steps.

1

Integrate with Your Billing System

Connect Trackli with your billing system. Track the full journey from affiliate click to trial to closed deal with attribution preserved.

Set Up High-Value Commission Structures

Configure flat-fee bounties for enterprise deals, percentage of first-year contract value, or hybrid models that reward both sign-up and expansion.

4

Build a Partner Application Process

Create an application process for B2B affiliates. Require information about their audience, industry focus, and promotion methods before approval.

How It Works

From referral link to commission approval — fully automated with B2B SaaS. You pay your affiliates however you already do.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Trackli handle long B2B sales cycles?
Trackli's 90-day first-party cookie covers most B2B sales cycles. When a prospect clicks an affiliate link and takes weeks to complete a demo, trial, and contract negotiation, the affiliate still receives credit for the referral.
Can I pay commissions on annual contract value?
Yes. For B2B SaaS with annual contracts, you can configure commissions as a percentage of the total annual contract value (ACV) rather than monthly subscription amounts. This properly incentivizes partners who drive enterprise deals.
How does my sales team see affiliate-referred deals?
Trackli's dashboard shows which leads and customers came from affiliates. You can export this data and add it to your CRM manually, or use our commission records to reconcile with closed deals in your sales workflow.
How should I structure B2B affiliate commissions?
Common B2B models include 10-20% of first-year ACV, flat bounties of $500-$5000 per closed deal, or hybrid models combining a smaller recurring percentage with an upfront bonus. Choose based on your deal size and margins.
