The Free Trial Attribution Challenge

Most platforms force you to choose between paying too early or losing attribution entirely

When to Pay?

Should affiliates get paid immediately when trial starts, or only after customer converts to paid?

Trial Abuse

Affiliates creating fake trial accounts to earn immediate commissions without real value.

Attribution Gaps

Losing track of which affiliate referred which customer during trial-to-paid conversion.

Churn Risk

Paying commissions for trials that never convert wastes money and inflates affiliate earnings.

Three Attribution Modes for Every Business

Choose the attribution timing that matches your trial conversion rate

Immediate Attribution

Commission created instantly when trial starts. Best for low-risk products or when you want affiliates paid quickly.

Best for: When trial-to-paid conversion rate is >70%

After-Trial Attribution

Commission created only after customer converts to paid subscription. Prevents commission waste on churned trials.

Best for: When trial-to-paid conversion rate is <50%

Recommended
Automatic Mode (Recommended)

LinkJolt tracks trials and automatically creates commission when Stripe processes first paid payment. Best of both worlds.

Best for: Perfect for most SaaS businesses

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if a trial never converts?

In Automatic or After-Trial mode, no commission is created so you don't pay for customers who never convert. In Immediate mode, commission is created at trial start.

Can I change attribution modes later?

Yes! You can change modes per campaign at any time. New trials will use the new mode, existing trials continue with their original setting.

How does LinkJolt track trial-to-paid conversion?

We use Stripe webhooks to detect when a customer's trial ends and their first paid payment processes. This is 100% accurate based on actual payment events.

Which mode should I choose?

We recommend Automatic mode for most businesses. It only creates commissions for real conversions while maintaining perfect attribution tracking.
