LinkJolt's 2-Step No-Code Setup

1

Add JavaScript Snippet to Your Website

2 minutes

Copy-paste this 2-line snippet into your website's <head> tag:

<script>
(function(w,l){w._ljq=l;w[l]=w[l]||function(){(w[l].q=w[l].q||[]).push(arguments)}})(window,'linkjolt');
</script>
<script async src='https://www.linkjolt.io/api/tracking.js?id=YOUR_MERCHANT_ID'></script>

Replace YOUR_MERCHANT_ID with your actual merchant ID from LinkJolt dashboard.

What this does:

✓ Automatically detects affiliate links (?tc=CODE&aff=ID)

✓ Stores tracking data in cookies + localStorage

✓ Sends click data to LinkJolt servers

✓ Works with Stripe/Paddle checkout automatically

2

Configure Stripe/Paddle Webhook

3 minutes

Add LinkJolt's webhook URL to your Stripe/Paddle dashboard to receive conversion events:

Stripe Webhook URL:
https://www.linkjolt.io/api/webhooks/stripe/merchant/YOUR_MERCHANT_ID
Paddle Webhook URL:
https://www.linkjolt.io/api/webhooks/paddle

Required Events:

Stripe: checkout.session.completed, invoice.payment_succeeded

Paddle: transaction.completed, subscription.created

That's It! Your Affiliate Program Is Live

No backend code, no API calls, no database changes. Conversions track automatically via webhooks.

How Automatic Tracking Works

Step 1

Customer clicks affiliate link

https://yoursite.com?tc=ABC123&aff=XYZ789

Step 2

JavaScript snippet detects parameters

Stores tc=ABC123, aff=XYZ789 in cookies + localStorage for 30 days

Step 3

Click tracked to LinkJolt

JavaScript sends click event to /api/track/click with IP, user agent, UTM params

Step 4

Customer purchases via Stripe/Paddle

LinkJolt's snippet automatically adds tracking to client_reference_id: tc_ABC123_aff_XYZ789_cid_CLICKID

Step 5

Stripe/Paddle sends webhook to LinkJolt

LinkJolt receives checkout.session.completed event, extracts tracking data, creates commission automatically
