Stripe Webhook-Powered Affiliate Tracking for SaaS
Webhooks are the backbone of reliable Stripe integrations. Trackli processes Stripe webhook events in real time to track referrals, calculate commissions, and handle the full subscription lifecycle — giving you the most accurate affiliate attribution possible for your SaaS product.
How to Set Up Stripe + Webhooks Affiliate Tracking
Get up and running in minutes with these simple steps.
Register Trackli Webhook Endpoint
Trackli automatically registers a webhook endpoint in your Stripe account with the correct event subscriptions and signing secret.
Select Tracked Event Types
Choose which Stripe events trigger commission actions. Common events: checkout.session.completed, invoice.paid, customer.subscription.updated, charge.refunded.
Map Events to Commission Logic
Define what happens for each event type. New checkout = new referral, invoice paid = recurring commission, charge refunded = commission reversal.
Verify Webhook Signatures
Trackli validates every webhook using Stripe's signing secrets. This prevents fake webhook attacks and ensures data integrity.
Monitor Webhook Health
Trackli provides a health dashboard showing webhook delivery status, processing latency, and any failed events that need attention.
How It Works
From referral link to commission payout — fully automated with Stripe + Webhooks.
