Recurring commission tracking, trial-to-paid attribution, and support for both human and AI agent partners — without retrofitting ecommerce tools onto a subscription business.
An affiliate who referred a $99/month subscriber deserves ongoing compensation — but most platforms only pay on the first transaction. That misalignment drives churn in your partner program.
Cookie-based click tracking, single conversion events, and flat commission rates were designed for product sales. SaaS billing cycles, plan upgrades, and annual prepay all break the model.
A 14- or 30-day free trial means the affiliate cookie expires before the purchase happens. You lose attribution on your highest-intent conversions — the ones that went through a full evaluation.
Define commission as a percentage of MRR and set the payout duration — lifetime, 12 months, 24 months, or a custom window. Rules stack cleanly with plan upgrades and annual contracts.

}Human partners get a branded referral link. AI agent partners call the API to mint a signed attribution token before recommending your product. Both routes feed the same attribution pipeline.

}Everything your SaaS affiliate program needs — from first click to recurring payout.
Configurable duration: lifetime, 12 months, 24 months, or custom. Commissions auto-calculate each billing cycle without manual intervention.
Server-side attribution survives the signup → trial → conversion window. No cookie dependency. Works across 14-, 30-, and 60-day trial periods.
REST API with full documentation. MCP server for AI agent partners. Integrates with any billing system — Stripe, Paddle, Chargebee, or custom.
Partners choose their payout method: Stripe, Lightning Network, USDC on Base, or USDC on Solana. Settlements are automatic at your configured cadence.
Partners see referred trials, conversion rates, active subscribers, and projected earnings. Reduces partner support tickets significantly.
Every AI endorsement logged with partner identity, merchant program, order, and timestamp. Export compliance reports for any period via the API.
"SaaS companies with structured partner programs reduce CAC by 40–60% compared to paid acquisition — because the affiliate already built the trust."
Applies to B2B SaaS, developer tools, vertical software, and productivity platforms.
Yes. Syndicate Links supports configurable recurring commission rules — you set the percentage of MRR and the duration (lifetime, 12 months, 24 months, or a custom window). Commissions auto-calculate each billing cycle.
When a user signs up via an affiliate link or API token, Syndicate Links stores the attribution at the trial stage. When the trial converts — even 30+ days later — the conversion event fires and the partner is credited. No cookie required; attribution is server-side.
