Meritt Get started

Payments

Affiliate program for Stripe

You authorise Meritt from your own Stripe account, in one click: nothing to copy or paste. A customer's first sale binds them to their affiliate, and renewals follow with no cookie.

What Meritt reads

Worth knowing

Setting it up

  1. Under Payment system, click Stripe and authorise Meritt on the account that takes payment.
  2. If you sell through Payment Links or a Buy Button, put the tag in the head of your pages: it fills those links with the click.
  3. If your server creates the Checkout Session, add client_reference_id with the click cookie: the app gives you the line for Node, Python, PHP, Ruby, .NET, Java or Go.

How long it takes

One click for the account, then the tag or one line of code.

Questions

Are subscription renewals commissioned?

Yes. The first sale binds the Stripe customer to the affiliate; every renewal invoice.paid is then credited according to the plan: recurring, lifetime or limited.

Does a partial refund take back the whole commission?

The refund takes back the share of commission matching the refunded amount, without changing the original sale: an entry is added.

Do I need a Stripe API key?

No. You connect by authorising your account; you can revoke it from Stripe at any time.

Can I connect two Stripe accounts?

Yes: each account connects to its own workspace, with its own affiliates, plans and invoices.

Is SEPA debit handled?

Yes: the delayed payment is read when it goes through, via checkout.session.async_payment_succeeded.
