Frequently Asked Questions

How does Trackli handle Chargebee plan families?
You can set commission rates at the plan family level in Trackli, then override for specific plans within that family if needed. This mirrors Chargebee's own plan hierarchy and keeps commission management organized.
Are Chargebee addons commissionable?
Yes, if you configure them to be. Trackli lets you include or exclude addon revenue from commission calculations. You can set different rates for recurring addons versus one-time addon purchases.
How does Trackli handle Chargebee credit notes?
When a credit note is issued in Chargebee (for service credits, billing errors, etc.), Trackli adjusts the commission for that billing period accordingly. This prevents paying commissions on revenue that was credited back.
What if a customer has multiple Chargebee subscriptions?
Trackli tracks each subscription independently. If a referred customer creates multiple subscriptions, all are attributed to the original referring affiliate with commissions calculated separately for each.
Can I align Trackli reports with Chargebee's billing reports?
Yes. Trackli generates reports that match Chargebee's billing periods and invoice structures. You can export commission data in formats compatible with your accounting workflow and compare against Chargebee's own revenue reports.
