Partner programmes that cost nothing until a sale.
You set up a programme and decide the commission. Publishers apply, share their link and see where they stand from click to payout.
- No cost per click: commission and network fee are due only for a reported sale.
- Your first programme with one publisher is free, with no subscription and no card.
- Attribution lives in the link itself, not in a cookie in the buyer's browser.
What a referred sale looks like

No cost per click.
Commission and network fee only arise once something has actually been sold.
What it looks like
Two dashboards, one language: clicks, sales and commissions read the same on both sides.
If you sell something
For shops that want to pay publishers a commission per sale, with no upfront cost.
- 1
Create a programme
Name, target URL, commission as a percentage or a fixed amount, cookie window and holding period. We review the programme and approve it.
- 2
Connect your shop
One server call at checkout reports the sale. You get the code pre-filled with your values, for PHP, WooCommerce, Node.js and cURL.
- 3
Approve publishers
Publishers apply with their channels. You decide who gets your link, and you can revoke an approval at any time.
- 4
Pay only for sales
Every reported sale reserves commission and network fee from your credit. Rejected and reversed sales cost nothing.
If you have an audience
For blogs, newsletters, comparison sites and channels that make recommendations.
- 1
Pick a programme
The marketplace shows commission, cookie window and terms openly. You apply with your channels; the merchant decides.
- 2
Share your link
You get a short link with your name, and one per product for product-list programmes. Every click is counted.
- 3
Follow your sales
Every conversion shows its status: open, approved, payable or reversed, with basket and commission.
- 4
Get paid
On the 1st of each month we pay payable commissions from €20 via Stripe. The credit note comes as a PDF; you write no invoice.
What it costs
No base fee, no cost per click. All amounts in euros.
For merchants
- Free: one programme with one publisher.
- From €100 credit: unlimited programmes and publishers.
- Per sale: the commission you set yourself, plus 20 % of it as network fee. A €100 commission costs you €120.
- Top up from €5 via Stripe. Credit is only used for reported sales.
For publishers
- Free, with no fee on your commission.
- Payout on the 1st of each month from €20 payable balance.
- A credit note as a PDF with every payout. You write no invoice.
What you can rely on
No stars and no invented quotes. Rules that apply to everyone instead.
- Every programme is reviewed
- Before a programme goes live, we check the merchant and the target URL. Publishers only apply to programmes that have passed this review.
- Worse terms need 30 days' notice
- If a merchant lowers the commission or tightens the terms, the change applies after 30 days, and publishers are notified. Improvements apply at once.
- Signed, not trust-based
- The reference code in the link is signed; reports and postbacks to the shop can be HMAC-signed. The tracking pixel alone books no commission.
- Payout via Stripe, documents for both sides
- Publishers receive their money via Stripe and a credit note as a PDF. Merchants get a receipt per top-up and an invoice per month.

Common questions
What merchants and publishers most often want to know before the first link.
- How is a sale attributed to a publisher?
- A click on the link mints a signed reference code at cli.gs and redirects to the shop with ?ref=…. The shop keeps the code until checkout and reports it back with the order. The code is the attribution. The last click wins.
- Does the tracking need cookies?
- cli.gs sets no cookie on the click. The code is in the link, and the shop keeps it until checkout, for example in its session or its own cookie. Browser limits on third-party cookies don't affect this.
- How long does a click count?
- The merchant sets the cookie window per programme, between 1 and 90 days; 30 is typical. A sale within that time after the click is attributed.
- How much work is connecting the shop?
- Two steps: store the ref parameter on the landing page, and send one server call to cli.gs at checkout. The integration page shows the code with your values; the help explains every step with examples for PHP, WooCommerce and Node.js.
- What does cli.gs cost for merchants?
- One programme with one publisher is free after verification. From €100 credit, programmes and publishers are unlimited. Every reported sale reserves the commission plus 20 % of it as network fee from the credit: a €100 commission comes to €120. Rejected and reversed sales are refunded.
- When do I get my money as a publisher?
- A reported sale has a 30-day approval window in which the merchant can object. Then the programme's holding period runs, usually 30 days. After that the commission is payable, and on the 1st of the following month it is paid via Stripe from €20.
- What happens with returns?
- The shop reports a reversal, and the commission goes back to the merchant as long as it hasn't been paid out. That is what the holding period is for: it covers the shop's return period.
