FAQ

How do I test affiliate tracking on Stripe?

Click an affiliate link, then complete a test purchase in Stripe test mode. Confirm revenue is attributed to the affiliate in your dashboard.

What’s the most common setup mistake?

Not having a clear attribution policy (or blocking tracking scripts), then trying to debug “missing conversions” with no ground truth.

Should I track refunds?

Yes. Refund rules should be explicit, and your payouts should exclude refunded payments.

Do I need automated payouts?

No. Manual payout approval with a payout report (CSV) is safer early on.
