The affiliate program your GoPay payments run through. Affiliates share tracking links, the LinkJolt script records who referred each visitor, and your payment request passes that affiliate to GoPay. When GoPay reports the payment as paid, the sale is credited to that affiliate at your commission rate, reversed if it is refunded in full, and paid out from your LinkJolt dashboard.
GoPay works through your own payment requests, so setup needs a developer for a few lines. Selling through Stripe instead? Read the Stripe integration.
Tracking from the payment status GoPay reports, the commission rules you choose, and payouts that never pass through LinkJolt.
When GoPay notifies LinkJolt, LinkJolt reads the payment from GoPay's API with your own credentials. Only a payment in the PAID state becomes a sale, once per GoPay payment, so a closed tab or a blocked thank-you page cannot lose it.
When a payment turns REFUNDED, the commission on it is reversed and any payout still queued for it is cancelled. Your affiliate sees the change in their earnings.
GoPay does not report how much of a partially refunded payment went back, so LinkJolt leaves the commission as it is and sends you a notification to review that sale and adjust it before you approve it.
Save sandbox credentials and every payment is recorded as a test sale, apart from your live commissions: no revenue counted, no emails, never paid out.
Rule-based fraud detection compares the payer's email with the affiliate's on each GoPay sale. A flagged sale is recorded as rejected and pays nothing, and a rejected or suspended affiliate earns nothing.
Partners get their own branded dashboard with their links, live earnings and payout setup, included on every plan.
The GoPay steps in the Integration Hub after you sign up, with your real merchant ID filled in.
Each GoPay payment carries its own notification URL and parameters, so both are set by the code that creates the payment. A payment created without them is still paid, but cannot be credited to an affiliate.
Paste one script tag into the head of your site. It records the affiliate when a visitor arrives through an affiliate link, for 30 days.
In LinkJolt, open Settings, then Payment Providers, click Create Webhook Secret, choose GoPay and enter your Client ID and Client Secret. Tick Sandbox for a sandbox account.
When your server creates a GoPay payment, set notification_url to your LinkJolt address. GoPay calls it whenever the payment changes state.
Add the affiliate to the payment's additional_params, read from the tracking script in the browser. Without it a payment cannot be credited to anyone.
Your Client ID and Client Secret are in the GoPay merchant portal under API settings. LinkJolt keeps them encrypted and uses them only to read a payment when GoPay notifies it: GoPay's notification carries the payment id, and the payment itself comes from GoPay's API.

What GoPay merchants ask before setting a program up
Through GoPay's payment notification. You set LinkJolt's notification URL on each payment you create, GoPay calls it with the payment id when the payment changes state, and LinkJolt reads the payment from GoPay's API with your Client ID and Client Secret. A payment in the PAID state that carries the affiliate parameters is recorded as a sale for that affiliate, once per GoPay payment.
Two things: the notification_url, set to your LinkJolt address, and the affiliate in additional_params. In the browser, read window.linkjolt.getTrackingInfo() and send its tracking code, affiliate id and click id as three parameters named tc, aff and cid, or send window.linkjolt.referral as one parameter named linkjolt_ref. GoPay allows up to four additional parameters of 256 characters each, so either form fits.
A full refund reverses the commission. When GoPay reports the payment as REFUNDED, the commission is reversed and any payout still queued for it is cancelled. A partial refund is different: GoPay's payment status does not say how much was refunded, so LinkJolt leaves the commission as it is and sends you a notification to review that sale in Commissions and reduce it by hand before you approve or pay it.
Yes. Tick Sandbox when you save your GoPay credentials in LinkJolt and it reads payments from GoPay's sandbox. Those payments are recorded as test sales, apart from your live commissions: they never count toward revenue, send no emails and are never paid out. When you go live, save your production credentials; they replace the sandbox ones.
No. Every paid GoPay payment that carries the affiliate parameters is recorded as its own one-time sale at the campaign's commission rate; the recurring commission settings (a separate recurring rate, a cap by months or by payments) are not applied to GoPay payments. LinkJolt's Stripe, Paddle, Polar and Creem integrations apply them.
From LinkJolt, separately from GoPay. Automated Stripe payouts settle in GBP, US dollars and euros to affiliates in the US, UK, EEA, Canada and Switzerland; a commission in Czech koruna or another currency is paid from the CSV export for PayPal or Wise. Every sale waits as pending until you approve it, so nothing is paid on a sale you have not reviewed.
