Transactions represent sales or actions made by referred customers. When a transaction is created, Partnero automatically calculates the partner’s commission based on your program settings.

Key concepts

  • Transaction key: A unique identifier (e.g., invoice ID) used for tracking and refund handling
  • Amount: The sale value used to calculate commission
  • Reward: The commission earned by the partner (can be auto-calculated or set directly)
  • Action: The type of transaction (e.g., sale)

Available endpoints

How commissions work

  1. Transaction created—you record a sale with an amount.
  2. Commission calculated—Partnero applies your program’s commission rules.
  3. Reward generated—a reward record is created for the partner.
  4. Payout—rewards accumulate until the payout threshold is reached.
Always use unique transaction keys (like invoice IDs). This lets you delete a transaction by key to reverse the commission automatically—useful for handling refunds.
For refer-a-friend programs, transaction endpoints use different field names. See the refer-a-friend transactions section.
