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.

​
Monthly commission cap

Your plan meters commission tracked — the sum of partner earnings recorded in a calendar month (never the underlying sale revenue): Starter 10K∗∗,Growth∗∗10K**, Growth **100K, Scale unlimited. When a cap is reached, monetary accrual pauses until you upgrade or the month rolls over; refunded/void commissions free room, and credit (non-cash) grants are exempt. See Plans & billing.
