Why Paddle Merchants Need Affiliate Tracking
Paddle doesn't include built-in affiliate tracking. Merchants struggle with manual attribution and missed recurring revenue.
No Built-in Affiliate System
Paddle doesn't include native affiliate tracking, forcing merchants to use external tools or build custom solutions
Complex Manual Tracking
Spreadsheets and manual attribution waste hours and create errors in commission calculations
Missed Subscription Renewals
Without automated tracking, affiliates don't get credit for recurring subscription revenue
Payout Complexity
Manually processing affiliate payouts through Paddle is time-consuming and error-prone

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Paddle affiliate tracking work?
LinkJolt integrates with Paddle via webhooks. When a customer makes a purchase, Paddle sends a webhook to LinkJolt with the transaction details. LinkJolt extracts the affiliate tracking code from the customData field and attributes the conversion to the correct affiliate. This happens automatically in real-time.
Can I track Paddle subscriptions and renewals?
Yes. LinkJolt tracks all Paddle subscription events including initial subscriptions, renewals, upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations. You can set different commission rates for initial subscriptions (e.g., 20%) vs recurring payments (e.g., 10%) to reward affiliates for long-term customer value.
How do I set up Paddle webhook integration?
In your LinkJolt dashboard, go to Integrations > Paddle and copy your webhook URL. Then in your Paddle dashboard under Developer Tools > Notifications, add this URL as a webhook endpoint. Select transaction.completed, subscription.created, subscription.updated, and adjustment.created events. LinkJolt will automatically start tracking conversions from Paddle immediately.
Does LinkJolt support Paddle payouts for affiliates?
LinkJolt uses Stripe Connect for affiliate payouts, not Paddle directly. Paddle does not offer a Connect-style payout feature. Commission payouts are processed separately through Stripe Connect transfers from your Stripe account to affiliates. This ensures instant payouts without platform fees.
What Paddle events does LinkJolt track?
LinkJolt tracks all Paddle transaction events: subscription created, subscription updated, subscription cancelled, transaction completed (payment succeeded), one-time purchases, and adjustments (refunds/chargebacks). Each event triggers the appropriate commission action automatically.
How do I add tracking codes to Paddle checkout?
Use Paddle's customData parameter in your checkout. Include linkjolt_tc (tracking code) and linkjolt_aff (affiliate ID) fields. LinkJolt provides JavaScript snippets that automatically inject this data into Paddle checkout based on the referring affiliate link using window.linkjolt.getTrackingInfo(). No manual coding required.
