Affiliates is a new feature. We’re shipping fast and actively want your feedback.

​
Grow revenue with partners who get paid for results

Macropay Affiliates lets you run a native partner program — recruit affiliates, give each a unique referral link, and accrue commission on every sale they drive — without bolting on a third-party tool. Referrals, attribution, and earnings all live in the same dashboard where you already manage products, customers, and payments. It’s built for the way modern software sells: partners promote your product, Macropay attributes the resulting purchases, and you see exactly what each affiliate earned — so you can reward the people sending you real revenue.

​
How it works

A referral travels through five stages, all tracked for you:
  1. Affiliates apply — partners sign up to your program through a hosted application page.
  2. You approve — review and accept each applicant, or turn on auto-approve to onboard instantly.
  3. They get a referral code/link — every approved affiliate receives a unique code and shareable link.
  4. Macropay attributes the sale — when a referred buyer purchases, we match the sale to the affiliate and accrue a commission.
  5. You review and mark paid — track accrued earnings, export them, and mark them settled.
v1: you settle with affiliates; Macropay tracks and reports. Macropay records every referred sale, calculates commission, exports a payout CSV, and lets you mark earnings as paid. Sending the money to your affiliates is done by you in this version — we handle the tracking, math, and bookkeeping.

​
Commission models

You decide how partners earn. Macropay supports:
Use a month cap on recurring commission to reward partners for the customers they bring while keeping your lifetime payout per referral bounded — e.g. pay on the first 12 renewals, then stop.

​
Attribution

Macropay uses last-click attribution within a configurable cookie window. When a visitor follows an affiliate’s link, we set a cookie; if they purchase before it expires, the most recent affiliate to refer them earns the commission. You set the window length to match your typical sales cycle.

​
Merchant of Record context

Because Macropay is your Merchant of Record, we are the legal seller on every referred order — we compute and remit global sales tax and VAT on the underlying sale. Affiliate commission is calculated on the order value you choose to base it on, and the tax machinery on the sale itself stays our responsibility, not yours.

FAQ

Not in v1. Macropay tracks every referred sale, calculates commission, lets you export a payout CSV, and lets you mark earnings as paid — but you send the actual payment to your affiliates yourself. We own the attribution, the math, and the reporting; you handle the transfer.
Four models, mixable per program and per partner: percentage of sale, fixed per conversion, recurring on subscription renewals (with an optional month cap), and per-affiliate overrides for custom negotiated rates.
Macropay uses last-click attribution within a configurable cookie window. Following an affiliate’s link sets a cookie; if the visitor purchases before it expires, the most recent referring affiliate earns the commission. You choose the window length.
No. Affiliates is native to Macropay — recruitment, referral links, attribution, and earnings all live alongside your products, customers, and payments, with no external integration to maintain.
