How to Set Up Partner Directories Affiliate Tracking

Get up and running in minutes with these simple steps.

1

Create Partner Directory Listings

Submit your product to technology partner directories, integration marketplaces, and ecosystem partner pages. Include your Trackli-powered referral link.

2

Track Directory Referral Traffic

Use unique UTM parameters for each partner directory. Trackli captures these parameters and maintains attribution through the signup and purchase flow.

3

Set Partner-Tier Commissions

Technology partners often deserve different commission structures than standard affiliates. Create partner-specific tiers with appropriate rates.

4

Build Co-Marketing Attribution

When partner directories feature you in co-marketing content, track those specific campaigns separately to measure co-marketing effectiveness.

5

Share Revenue Intelligence

Provide partners with access to their own performance data. Transparent revenue sharing strengthens long-term partner relationships.

How It Works

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

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between affiliate directories and partner directories?
Affiliate directories list programs for individual promoters to join. Partner directories list technology integrations and solutions for businesses to evaluate. Partner directory traffic tends to be higher-intent because visitors are actively researching solutions.
How do I track referrals from integration marketplace listings?
Include your Trackli referral link in your marketplace listing. When a visitor clicks through from the marketplace and eventually purchases your product, Trackli attributes the conversion to the partner directory listing.
Should I pay different commissions for partner referrals?
Often yes. Technology partners who integrate with your product and recommend it to their user base typically drive higher-value customers. Higher commission rates for these partners recognize the value of these qualified referrals.
Can I track co-marketing campaign effectiveness?
Yes. Create separate tracking links for specific co-marketing campaigns with partners. This lets you measure whether a partner blog post, webinar, or email campaign drove more conversions than the standing directory listing.
How do I build stronger partner relationships with tracking data?
Share revenue attribution data with partners through Trackli's partner portal. When partners can see the revenue they generate, it strengthens the relationship and motivates them to increase promotional efforts.
