Track Affiliate-Driven Subscription Sales
Subscription sales require attribution that persists beyond the first transaction. Trackli tracks the complete journey — from an affiliate's referral link click through subscription activation and every subsequent renewal — so you always know which partners are driving your recurring revenue.
How to Set Up Subscription Sales Affiliate Tracking
Get up and running in minutes with these simple steps.
Define What Counts as a Sale
Choose whether a 'sale' is when a subscription is created, when the first payment succeeds, or when a trial converts. This determines when affiliates earn commissions.
Set Up Subscription Event Tracking
Connect subscription lifecycle events from your billing provider. Trackli processes creation, activation, payment, and cancellation events.
Configure Sale Attribution Rules
Set your attribution window and model. Choose last-click, first-click, or custom attribution logic for subscription sales.
Create Affiliate Sales Dashboard
Affiliates see their subscription sales in real time including pending trials, active subscriptions, and cumulative earnings.
Set Up Sales Notifications
Configure instant notifications when affiliates make sales. Email or webhook notifications keep partners engaged and motivated.
