Launch and scale your affiliate program with AFFY. Track referrals, automate payouts, and manage partners with our intuitive affiliate management software.
Paddle doesn't include affiliate tracking. AFFY connects to Paddle's webhook notifications and automatically attributes every transaction, subscription renewal, and refund to the right affiliate — VAT-inclusive pricing handled correctly.
Without AFFY
With AFFY + Paddle
Two steps in your Paddle dashboard — everything else is automatic.
Paste one script tag into your site's <head> — the same page your Paddle checkout loads on. AFFY stores a 30-day attribution cookie on the visitor's browser when they click an affiliate link.
Copy your AFFY webhook URL from Settings → Integration. In Paddle → Developer Tools → Notifications, create a new destination, paste the URL, select the required events, and copy the secret key back into AFFY.
Every transaction.completed and subscription.created event is processed automatically. Review commissions, approve them, and pay affiliates in one click.
Step 2 in detail — Paddle Dashboard
Go to Developer Tools → Notifications and click New destination.
Paste your AFFY webhook URL. Select these events: transaction.completed, transaction.refunded, subscription.created, subscription.canceled.
Save. Paddle shows you a secret key for this destination — copy it.
Back in AFFY → Settings → Integration, paste the secret into the Paddle Webhook Secret field and save.
Paddle collects VAT and fees on your behalf. AFFY calculates commissions on the transaction amount from Paddle's events — no double-counting of tax.
Track initial subscriptions via subscription.created and every renewal via transaction.completed. Configure first-payment-only or lifetime recurring per flow.
Paddle operates globally. AFFY auto-converts transaction amounts to your base currency at the time of the event so commissions are always consistent.
transaction.refunded triggers automatic commission reversal — full or proportional. No spreadsheet corrections, no manual reconciliation.
Every Paddle event is verified against the webhook secret before processing. Invalid or spoofed events are rejected before they touch your commission data.
After the one-time webhook registration, everything runs automatically. No need to return to the Paddle dashboard for day-to-day affiliate management.
Select these four events when creating the webhook destination in Paddle.
| Paddle Event | What AFFY does |
|---|---|
| transaction.completed | Creates a commission for the attributed affiliate. |
| subscription.created | Creates a commission for the initial subscription payment. |
| transaction.refunded | Marks the related commission as Refunded and removes it from the payout queue. |
| subscription.canceled | No commission action — cancellation is logged for reporting. |
