Verify Your Setup
Use in-app tests and a Stripe test purchase to confirm tracking and commission calculation work before inviting affiliates.
Do not invite real affiliates until you have confirmed end-to-end tracking. Partnersify gives you several ways to validate before going live.
Use the in-app test tools
- Pixel test: confirms the snippet is firing on your site
- Sign-in test (Advanced plans): confirms post-login URL tracking if enabled
- Stripe connection status: confirms the Marketplace app is linked
Each test shows a success or error message inline. Fix failures before proceeding.
Run a test purchase in Stripe
- Visit your marketing site through a referral link
- Complete checkout using Stripe Sandbox or test cards
- Wait a few seconds for webhooks to process
Use the same Stripe mode (Test/Sandbox vs Live) that your Partnersify company is connected to.
What to check in Sales
A successful test should produce a sale in Sales with:
- Correct affiliate attribution
- Line items matching your Stripe products
- Commission amounts per your active rules
- A due date based on your payout delay and payout day settings
Open the sale to inspect per-line-item commission breakdowns.
Common "sale not showing" causes
| Symptom | Likely cause |
|---|---|
| No sale at all | Stripe not connected, or wrong Test/Live mode |
| Sale without affiliate | Cookie not set, or psfy_partner missing from Checkout metadata |
| $0 commission | Rule filters excluded the product, or plan usage cap |
| Delay | Webhook retry; refresh after 30 seconds |
