What you get with Refgrow + Paddle
Everything you need to run a professional affiliate program on top of Paddle.
Paddle Billing v2 tracking
Connect your Paddle Billing v2 account and receive the supported transaction and subscription events through a signed webhook.
One-time and recurring commissions
Attribute supported one-time payments and subscription events to the referring affiliate, then calculate commissions from your program rules.
Checkout-aware attribution
Use Paddle Checkout or payment links with referral data carried into the checkout. Direct purchase flows need that handoff for reliable attribution.
Flexible commissions
Set percentage or flat-rate commissions, choose one-time or recurring rules, and override rates for individual products or affiliates.
Manual or plan-based payouts
Track and mark manual payouts on any plan. Automatic bulk payouts through PayPal or Wise require Pro, Business, or Enterprise; Starter is excluded.
Widget or hosted portal
Let partners use an embedded dashboard inside your product or give them a standalone hosted portal, depending on your preferred setup.
Set up in 3 simple steps
Follow the provider connection, widget, and tracking steps for your program.
Connect Paddle Billing v2
Create a Refgrow project, add the required Paddle API permissions, and configure the webhook events and signing secret described in the Paddle setup guide.
Choose how partners access the program
Embed the affiliate dashboard in your app with the widget, or use the hosted portal when partners need a standalone page. Add the separate tracking script where referral links are shared.
<div id="refgrow" data-project-id="YOUR_PROJECT_ID"></div>
<script src="https://scripts.refgrowcdn.com/page.js" async defer></script>The widget uses the refgrow container and page.js. The separate latest.js script records referral attribution; it does not render the dashboard. Provider webhooks or API events are still required to confirm paid conversions.
Set commissions and verify a test sale
Set the commission rules for your products, complete a test checkout through a referral link, and confirm that the sale and commission appear before inviting partners.
Use a supported Paddle checkout flow
Refgrow supports Paddle Checkout and payment links when referral data is carried into the purchase. A direct or custom checkout must pass the referral code into Paddle; installing a tracking script alone does not connect every checkout.
Verify before you invite partners
After connecting Paddle, open a referral link in a fresh browser session and complete your test checkout. Check that the customer, sale, and commission appear in your workspace.
Attribution must reach checkout through the supported referral parameter, metadata, coupon, or email flow for your integration. Adding a tracking script alone does not connect every custom checkout.

How tracking works
A supported Paddle checkout flow and webhook connect the referral to the paid event:
Affiliate shares their referral link
The visitor receives a referral attribution in their browser.
Referral data reaches Paddle checkout
For direct purchase flows, pass the referral code into Paddle Checkout or a payment link through the supported custom data flow.
Paddle sends a supported webhook
Refgrow receives transaction.completed or the supported subscription event from Paddle Billing v2.
Conversion and commission are recorded
Refgrow matches the available referral or customer attribution to the affiliate and applies your commission settings.
Review and pay the commission
The commission appears in the program dashboard. You can mark a manual payout or use automatic bulk payouts if your plan supports them.

Partner Network
Opt your program into the Partner Network so relevant affiliates can discover it and choose whether to accept an invitation.
9 languages

Optional Partner Network exposure
Your affiliate program and the Refgrow Partner Network are separate. If you opt an eligible program into the network, Refgrow can match it with relevant partners who may choose to join with one click. Matching and invitations do not guarantee applications, clicks, or sales.
Questions for Paddle product owners
Can I run an affiliate program for my Paddle product?
Yes. Refgrow is software for owners who sell products through Paddle Billing v2, and it helps you run your own affiliate program. Paddle does not endorse or provide this Refgrow program.
What does the Paddle integration need to track?
Connect the Paddle Billing v2 API permissions and webhook signing secret described in the setup guide, then enable transaction.completed, subscription.created, and subscription.updated. Your checkout flow must also carry referral data when a purchase starts directly from a referral link.
Can I use Paddle Checkout or payment links?
Yes, when the referral code is passed into the supported custom data flow. If you use a custom or direct purchase flow, make that handoff explicit so the paid event can be attributed.
Do partners need to leave my product to see the program?
No. You can embed the Refgrow dashboard in your product with the widget, or use a hosted portal for a standalone partner experience.
Can affiliates join through this page?
This page is for product owners setting up a Paddle affiliate program. If you are looking for programs to promote as an affiliate, use the Refgrow Partner Network. Visit the Partner Network.
