05How do I test the integration?

On Paddle Billing, create a test affiliate in your portal, visit your site through their link and make a purchase. Paddle Classic works with Paddle’s sandbox: set Tolt up on your sandbox account, then switch to your live public key when you’re ready.

Testing the integration
06Can I track sign-ups before they pay?

Yes. When someone who came through a partner’s link signs up, call tolt.signup with their email: they join that partner’s customers as a lead, and turn active once their subscription starts.

07Can affiliates use coupon codes?

Yes. Give each partner a coupon code of their own, or set up codes for the whole program, and Tolt can create them in Paddle as discounts. A sale with a partner’s code counts as theirs, even without a click on their link.

Plans and payments

08Is there a free trial?

Yes, a 14-day free trial, so you have enough time to see if affiliate marketing will work for your startup. Plus, we don’t require a credit card for the trial.

09How can I pay my affiliates?

Export your pending payouts and pay them with PayPal Mass Payments or Wise Batch Payment. Or turn on auto payouts, on every plan, and we pay your affiliates for you, by PayPal, Wise, local bank or wire.
