What happens when I reach my plan's monthly tracked-revenue limit?

Starter, Professional and Ultimate cap tracked sales per billing period; Scale has no cap. Past the cap, most new sales are still recorded but held with no payable commission, while some are not recorded at all. Upgrading before the period ends releases the sales held in it.

Starter, Professional and Ultimate include a limit on how much affiliate revenue you can track in a billing period, so the plan tier matches your volume. Scale has no tracked-sales limit.

When you hit the limit

The sale that takes you over the limit is recorded in full. After that, what happens to a new sale depends on how it reaches us.

  • Held: Stripe Checkout sales, server-side Stripe charges, WooCommerce orders, Polar sales and Apple In-App Purchases are still recorded, with the commission calculated, but marked Held. A held sale shows on the Commissions page with a "Held" badge. It cannot be approved or paid until it is released, it does not add to your campaign totals, and it does not fire the usual new-sale notification.
  • Not recorded: Stripe subscription renewals, and sales from Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, Gumroad and GoPay, are skipped while you are over the limit. They cannot be recovered later, so act on the alert quickly.
  • Refused: a sale you add by hand, one posted through the Developer API, and one posted by the JavaScript tracking script all come back with a limit-reached error.

Clicks and tracking links keep working throughout, and your existing conversions, approved commissions and any payouts already under way are untouched.

The window is your billing period

The limit follows your billing period, not the calendar month. Billed monthly, it resets each month. Billed annually, it follows your annual billing period. On a desktop-width screen the dashboard top bar carries a usage badge; click it for the "Monthly Sales Limit" panel showing what you have tracked, your limit, and the exact date it resets.

We also ring the notification bell and email the account owner at 80% of the limit, and again once sales start being held.

Your options

  • Upgrade before the current billing period ends. In the dashboard open Settings, go to the Billing tab and choose "Change plan" (account owner only). If the new limit covers that period's volume, including the held sales themselves, the sales held in it are released automatically: each one flips to Pending and waits in your commissions list for approval. Keep the same billing interval while you do this, because switching between monthly and annual billing restarts your billing period and leaves earlier held sales outside it.
  • Wait for the next billing period. New sales track normally again, but waiting does not rescue anything already held. Sales held in a period that has already closed stay held, and they cannot be approved by hand. Contact support if you have held sales from an earlier period.

If you regularly pass the Ultimate limit, the Scale plan is a flat high volume tier with no tracked-sales limit. It is sold from the Scale page, and Professional or Ultimate accounts with a single brand can also switch to it from "Change plan".

For the exact limit on each tier, see the pricing page.
