Chargebee integration for affiliate and referral tracking
Connect Chargebee once and Partnero commissions every payment it processes — and keeps paying on renewals, not just the first invoice. Refunds claw the commission back automatically.
What is Chargebee?
Chargebee is a subscription billing and revenue management platform used by recurring-revenue businesses. Invoices, renewals and refunds are all recorded there, which makes it the most reliable place to decide which partner earned a commission.
How a partner gets credit
Every partner gets a tracking link. Partnero records the visit and attributes the signup that follows, then commissions every Chargebee payment that customer ever makes — the first invoice and every renewal after it.
Because Chargebee is built for recurring revenue, this is where Partnero's recurring commission rules matter most: pay a partner for the lifetime of a customer, for a fixed number of months, or up to a cap you set.
Connect Chargebee in three steps
- Add a custom field in Chargebee, so referral information can travel with the customer.
- Paste your Chargebee site name and API key into Partnero under Program → Integration → Chargebee.
- Create the Partnero webhook in Chargebee — Partnero gives you the endpoint, the password and the exact list of events to tick, each with a copy button.
Partnero walks you through all three in your account, and the tracking guide covers the snippet for your site.
