Everything you need to run a serious affiliate program.
affixo is affiliate tracking and management software that handles attribution, commissions, portals, coupons, fraud detection and AI — all from the single Stripe account you already use. Unlimited affiliates, campaigns, products and domains on every plan, including Free. The only thing that scales with a plan is attributed revenue.
How does affixo track affiliate referrals?
affixo resolves every sale server-side through six precedence-ordered methods, stopping at the first match. Five of them — manual code, coupon, UTM, subscription and email — need no cookie at all, so attribution survives ad blockers and Safari ITP that break client-side tools. The cookie/click method covers the rest, and device fingerprint plus IP re-identify a visitor who cleared their cookies.
- Six server-side methods, first match wins, credited once
- Five of six need no cookie — coupon, subscription & manual attribution included
- Fingerprint + IP re-identify cookieless returning visitors
- Link & coupon tracking, sub-IDs, multiple link formats
POST /track/conversion
ref_token: "a1b9f"
order: "$249.00"
attributed: manual → coupon → cookie → utm → sub → email
Every sale is resolved on our servers — not in the browser.
Six precedence-ordered methods stop at the first match, so a conversion is credited once and never twice. Five of the six need no cookie at all, so attribution survives Safari ITP, ad blockers, and month-two renewals.
The customer types the affiliate's code at checkout — the most explicit signal there is. It's checked first, so an intentional code always wins.
Entered at checkout · resolved server-side · highest precedence
A Stripe promo code resolves straight to its owning affiliate inside the webhook. No browser, no cookie, no script, no click.
Works offline, in video, in print, in DMs · immune to ad blockers and ITP by design
The first-party cookie we set the moment a visitor clicks an affiliate link — persisting up to 60 days across pages, tabs and sessions.
_sa_vid cookie · HMAC-signed, tamper-proof · 60-day default window · configurable per campaign
A hard-coded campaign link whose UTM tags map back to an affiliate's ref code — matched from the URL at conversion time, even with no referral click.
utm_campaign and utm_source matched against affiliate ref_code · stored on every click
Every renewal is credited to the affiliate who earned the first sale on that subscription, so recurring commission never drifts to another affiliate — or to no one.
Pinned at the first conversion · every renewal credited through the same chain · no re-attribution required
If every stronger signal is absent, affixo matches the buyer's email to an earlier referred purchase — a last resort so no revenue goes unattributed.
Stripe webhook only · never overrides a stronger signal · prevents silent attribution loss
Cleared cookies? Different browser? The click still counts.
The first-party cookie is the click itself. When it's gone, two identity signals re-identify a returning visitor and feed it straight back into the cookie/click method — so a cleared browser or a new device doesn't lose the referral. They're re-identification signals, not extra attribution methods.
- HMAC-signed cookie — tamper-proof, first-party, 60-day window
- Signal 1 — a privacy-safe device fingerprint (UA, screen, timezone, language, platform)
- Signal 2 — an IP match within the attribution window
First match wins — strongest signal always used
How are commissions calculated and paid?
You define commission rules — percentage or fixed, one-time or recurring, with multi-level and tiered options — and affixo calculates every reward automatically, including clawbacks when a sale is refunded or charged back. You pay affiliates through your own Stripe account or payout rail, on your own schedule.
- Recurring, one-time, tiered & multi-level commissions
- Automatic refund & chargeback clawbacks
- You own the payout rail — pay from your own account
- Manual-approval thresholds for large commissions
What do affiliates and admins actually see?
Every program ships with a full affiliate portal and an admin console out of the box. Affiliates get their links, real-time stats, coupons and ready-made creatives; you get approvals, reporting and controls — no design work required.
- Affiliate dashboard live out of the box — your logo & colours from Growth
- Self-serve links, coupons and a creatives library
- Admin console for approvals, payouts setup & reporting
- Unlimited affiliates in the portal, on every plan
Does affixo detect affiliate fraud?
Yes. affixo flags self-referrals, ad-traffic abuse and bot signups automatically, and scores every affiliate for risk and quality from real identity signals so suspicious activity surfaces before you pay out. Higher tiers add the cross-program Network and Buyer Risk Lists — shared, advisory-only fraud signals across every program on affixo.
- Self-referral & ad-traffic detection
- Risk & quality scoring on every affiliate
- reCAPTCHA on the affiliate portal
- Network & Buyer Risk Lists across programs
Buyer matches the network Buyer Risk List (2 signals) — confirmed chargeback at another workspace.

Can an AI run my program?
affixo ships an MCP server on every plan, so AI clients like Claude can read your program data and take actions — approve affiliates, pull reports, adjust commissions — through natural language. An AI Affiliate Finder helps you discover and recruit promoters that fit your product.
- MCP server included on every plan, even Free
- Run reports & actions from any AI client
- AI Affiliate Finder for recruitment Soon
Which affiliates are worth recovering?
Most programs go quiet one affiliate at a time, and nobody notices. affixo classifies every affiliate's lifecycle nightly and surfaces a ranked “worth recovering” list — the partners who drove revenue before and went dark — so you can filter, select and send a re-engagement nudge in one pass.
- Nightly lifecycle classification of every affiliate
- A ranked list of who's worth winning back
- One-pass re-engagement nudges from the same screen

Common questions about how affixo works.
affixo is server-side first. Every sale is resolved on our servers through six precedence-ordered methods, and five of the six need no cookie at all — so a conversion is confirmed by Stripe or a server-to-server postback, not a blockable browser pixel. When a cookie is involved, device fingerprint and IP re-identify a returning visitor. That makes tracking far more resilient to ad blockers and browser privacy changes than client-side, cookie-only tools.
Yes. You can set recurring, one-time, fixed, percentage, tiered and multi-level commissions, and affixo automatically claws back rewards when a sale is refunded or charged back.

Higher plans add white-label branding, a custom domain, the super-admin console and the cross-program Network and Buyer Risk Lists. The only thing metered by plan is attributed revenue.
