Frequently Asked Questions

How does Trackli work with Recurly's revenue recovery?
Recurly's intelligent dunning automatically retries failed payments. When a payment is recovered, Trackli receives the successful payment notification and generates the appropriate affiliate commission on the recovered revenue.
What are custom fields and how does Trackli use them?
Recurly custom fields are additional data you can attach to subscriptions. Trackli uses a custom field to store the affiliate identifier, creating a deterministic link between the subscription and the referring affiliate.
Can Trackli handle different Recurly term lengths?
Yes. Whether your Recurly plans are monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual, Trackli calculates commissions based on the actual billing events and amounts for each term length.
Does Trackli track Recurly gift card purchases?
Yes. When a referred customer purchases a gift card or gift subscription through Recurly, Trackli attributes the purchase to the referring affiliate. Gift card redemptions are also tracked for ongoing commission attribution.
How does subscription pausing affect affiliate commissions?
When a subscription is paused in Recurly, no billing events occur. Trackli recognizes the paused state and suspends commission tracking. When the subscription resumes and billing restarts, commissions resume automatically.
