Frequently Asked Questions

How does Recurly's revenue recovery benefit affiliate tracking?
Recurly's intelligent payment retry often recovers revenue that would otherwise be lost. Trackli tracks these recovered payments and generates accurate commissions, ensuring affiliates benefit from Recurly's recovery capabilities.
Are commissions calculated on failed payment attempts?
No. Trackli only generates commissions on successfully collected payments. Failed payment attempts are tracked for analytics but don't create commission obligations until the payment actually succeeds.
How does Trackli handle Recurly account credits?
When account credits are applied to reduce an invoice amount, Trackli calculates the commission on the net amount after credits. This prevents paying commissions on revenue offset by credits.
Can I align commission reports with our financial calendar?
Yes. Trackli generates reports that match Recurly's billing periods and your financial calendar. This makes reconciliation straightforward for finance teams reviewing affiliate program costs against collected revenue.
Does Trackli support Recurly's multi-currency billing?
Yes. When subscriptions are billed in different currencies through Recurly, Trackli processes commissions in the original transaction currency and handles conversion for consolidated payout reporting.
