TrackRev

TrackRev is an affiliate attribution platform for SaaS teams that want partner commissions to be based on actual revenue rather than clicks or manually reconciled conversions. It connects partner clicks to the charges they generate, making it easier for founders, growth teams, indie makers, and course creators to align affiliate payouts with revenue from Stripe or Paddle.

The platform uses a shared data model for affiliate links, revenue, and channel attribution. This allows affiliate performance to sit alongside channels such as ads, email, and social in the same dashboard, giving teams a way to compare revenue and LTV without stitching together separate analytics systems.

Key Features

First-Party Tracking

Track affiliate clicks and redirects through your own domain.

TrackRev avoids relying on third-party cookies, allowing teams to run attribution through first-party links and redirects.

Revenue Sync

Connect affiliate activity directly to payment data.

TrackRev pulls paid charges from Stripe and Paddle and reconciles them against tracked visits, helping teams connect partner activity with the revenue it actually generates.

Recurring Commissions

Continue commissions when referred customers renew.

The system supports commissions on recurring payments as well as the initial charge, making it suitable for subscription-based SaaS businesses.

Partner Portal

Give affiliates their own branded workspace.

Partners can access a portal hosted on the business's own domain, providing a dedicated place to view and manage their affiliate activity.

Payout Options

Handle affiliate payouts through multiple methods.

TrackRev supports:

• CSV exports
• Automated batch payouts
• PayPal payouts

This gives teams flexibility in how they process partner payments.

Attribution Controls

Choose how conversions are credited.

Teams can switch between:

• Last-touch attribution
• First-touch attribution
• Linear attribution

The attribution model can be changed without requiring affiliate links to be re-tagged.

QR Codes and Custom Domains

Create branded tracking links for both digital and offline campaigns.

QR codes and custom domains make the system useful for print materials, packaging, events, and other situations where standard affiliate links are less practical.

Automatic Refund and Chargeback Handling

Keep commissions aligned with retained revenue.

Refunds and chargebacks automatically reverse the associated commission, helping payout calculations stay closer to the revenue the business actually keeps.

Why It Matters

Affiliate programs can become difficult to manage when clicks, conversions, payment data, and payouts live in separate systems. A partner may generate a customer, but determining exactly how much commission is owed can still require manual reconciliation between the affiliate platform and payment processor.

TrackRev puts the link, attribution, and revenue data into one workflow. By connecting tracked visits with paid charges from Stripe and Paddle, it gives teams a clearer way to calculate commissions based on actual revenue.

The recurring commission support is particularly relevant for SaaS businesses, where the initial subscription payment is only part of the customer value. Automatic handling of refunds and chargebacks also helps keep commission calculations aligned with revenue that remains with the business.

The platform also treats affiliates as one acquisition channel among many. With ads, email, social, and affiliate activity visible in the same dashboard, teams can compare revenue and LTV across channels instead of evaluating their partner program in isolation.

Privacy and data ownership are another part of the product. TrackRev uses restricted Stripe keys, provides GDPR-aware options such as IP truncation and hashed identifiers, and allows data to be exported to CSV.

Connect affiliate clicks with Stripe or Paddle revenue, pay commissions on recurring subscriptions, manage partners through a branded portal, and compare affiliate performance with other acquisition channels. TrackRev gives SaaS teams a revenue-focused workflow for attribution, reconciliation, and affiliate payouts.
