Commissions are the heart of a cash programme. TrackRev computes them from real orders, so they reconcile with your revenue and reverse automatically on refunds.

​
Commission type & rate

Set these in the programme form (cash programmes only):
Enter percentages as whole numbers — 30 means 30%. The seller can never earn more than the programme allows (percent is capped at 100%; in a multi-tier programme the whole chain is capped at the pool).

​
Recurring commissions

Decide whether renewals keep paying:

One-time

Commission on the first sale only. The default.

Lifetime

Commission on every renewal, forever.

Custom (N months)

Commission for a set number of renewal months (default 6).
Renewals are ingested as orders and inherit the original sale’s partner, so recurring commissions follow the subscription’s real lifecycle. See Refunds & renewals.

​
Coupon-code tracking

Not every partner drives clicks — a podcaster or creator may only give out a code. Each enrollment can carry two codes:
  • Coupon code — the code TrackRev credits the partner on. When a sale uses this code, the commission is written even with no referral-link click.
  • Referee promo code — a discount code the partner shares with their audience (for two-sided programmes).
Codes are uppercased and must be 3–40 characters of letters, numbers, hyphens or underscores, and unique within a programme. Edit them per partner from the Partners table.
Coupon tracking is the answer to “how do I attribute a YouTube sponsor read or a podcast ad?” — give that partner a unique code, connect it in your processor, and the sale credits them automatically.

​
The commission ledger

Open Affiliate program → Commissions to see every commission. The table shows When, Partner, Source, Tier, Type, Sale, Earnings, Status.
  • Source — Link, Coupon (with the code), or Manual.
  • Tier — Direct for the seller; Tier N (from ) for network commissions.
  • Type — click, lead, sale, recurring or manual.

​
Commission statuses

Commissions are idempotent per order and partner — re-syncing never double-credits, and a partner appears at most once per order (even across multiple tiers). Refunds flip a sale’s commissions to refunded and back out the partner’s totals automatically.

​
No cap on commission tracked

No plan caps the commission you track. Indie and Growth both record every partner earning, however large your programme grows, and sale revenue is never capped either. See Plans & billing.
