You pay your affiliates. We work out what they are owed.
Affiliatant records every click, decides which affiliate earned each sale and keeps the reason, calculates the commission in whole pennies, and produces the self-billed invoice. It hands you a file listing who to pay and how much. The payment leaves your own bank, PayPal or Wise account. Affiliatant holds no money at any point and charges no percentage of your sales, your commission or your payouts.
Free to 20 attributed conversions a month. No card.
What it does
Tracking that holds up
The click id is stored server side. A cookie is a labelled fallback, never the record, because Safari caps how long a script-written cookie survives. Visitor addresses are stored as a keyed hash. Consent is checked before an affiliate cookie is set.
Attribution you can explain
Last click inside a window you set, with explicit rules for what happens when a shopper arrives through one affiliate's link and uses another's coupon code. Every decision is stored with the clicks that lost and the reason, and changing a rule does not alter a decision already made.
Commission in whole pennies
Percentage or flat, per product, per category, per affiliate group, with tiers. Recurring and lifetime commission on subscriptions. Tax and shipping excluded if you choose. No rate is stored, so amounts and percentages cannot disagree.
Holding and clawback
Commission is held for a period you set, which should cover your returns window. A refund inside it reverses the commission before anyone is paid. A refund after payment becomes a debt netted off the affiliate's next pay run, with a credit note to match.
UK self-billing
Affiliatant raises the invoice on the affiliate's behalf under VAT Notice 700/62, stores the signed agreement, validates the VAT number, applies the right treatment for an affiliate outside the UK, and prompts for the annual review.
Fraud rules that flag
Self-referral, impossible click-to-order speed, a repeated device, a referrer that does not match the affiliate's declared sites. Each raises a flag with its evidence for you to decide. Nothing is blocked automatically.
From click to payment
1. The click
An affiliate link lands on the redirect endpoint. The visit is recorded and the visitor continues to your page in one hop. Links may only point at hosts you have allowed.
2. The sale
Your shop reports the order from the order hook and again from a signed pixel on the receipt, reconciled on a shared event id. If Affiliatant is unreachable the plugin queues the event on your server and retries. Checkout completes either way.
3. The decision
One affiliate is credited. The attribution record keeps the model, the window, the losing clicks and the reason code.
4. The payment
A pay run produces a file of who to pay, how much, in what currency and by which method, with thresholds and clawback applied and the invoice attached. You make the payment.
