How to Set Up Chargebee Affiliate Tracking
Get up and running in minutes with these simple steps.
Authorize Chargebee API Access
Provide your Chargebee site name and generate a read-only API key for Trackli. We only need permission to read subscriptions and invoices.
Register Chargebee Webhooks
Trackli configures webhooks in your Chargebee site to listen for subscription_created, invoice_generated, and payment_succeeded events.
Define Trial-to-Paid Commission Logic
Decide whether affiliates earn commission when a trial starts, when it converts to paid, or both. Configure hold periods for trial conversions.
Create Affiliate Signup Page
Use Trackli's hosted portal or embed our signup form. Affiliates get unique links that pass attribution data through to Chargebee checkout.
Monitor and Optimize
Use Trackli's analytics dashboard to see which affiliates drive the highest LTV customers and optimize your commission structures accordingly.
