Overview

Referly and Brilliant Directories

Connect your Brilliant Directories directory to Referly

Running more than one platform? They all feed one ledger, so partners get a single link, a single balance and a single payout.

What connects

What Referly tracks in Brilliant Directories

Fourteen things, each one read from what Brilliant Directories reports rather than from a feature list. The two chips below are the short answer.

Referrals trackedSales tracked

What it does

  • YesA signup, trial or new customer is recorded against the partner who sent them, before any money moves.
  • YesEvery completed payment arrives as a sale with its amount, products and currency, and a commission is calculated from it.
  • YesAn `rsubID` on the inbound link travels all the way to the sale, so an ad platform or a network can match the conversion back to its own click.

What it does not, or only sometimes

  • With a conditionA renewal is tracked when your own code reports it as a second sale. Nothing polls the platform for you.
  • NoNothing is polled from a platform, so a refund is reversed by your own code or by a teammate in the dashboard.
  • NoA customer who types a partner's discount code at checkout is attributed to that partner, with no link click and no cookie involved.
  • NoReferly creates the discount code inside your platform when a partner joins, so you never mint codes by hand.
  • NoReferly reads your product catalogue, so a rule can pay one rate on one product and a different rate on another.
  • NoTarget a whole collection instead of listing its products one by one, and new products in that collection inherit the rate.
  • With a conditionTax is deducted when your call reports a tax amount.
  • NoShipping is subtracted before the commission is calculated. On by default, and switchable.
  • NoInstead of cash, a partner's balance can be issued as credit inside the platform they already shop in.
  • With a conditionSomeone has to add the tracking snippet to your site once.
  • NoThere is nothing to authorise. The snippet does the work.
  • NoPartners are added to a named list or group in your email platform as they join, so onboarding and announcements go out from the tool you already write in.
  • NoMoney actually leaves through this platform. Referly hands it the batch, and it moves the funds to each partner.
  • NoOne approval sends every partner what they are owed, rather than one transfer at a time.

Setup

Connect Brilliant Directories in four steps

Four steps, in order. The honest note underneath says which of them need someone technical and what the connection does not do.

  1. 1

    Add the tracking script to your site

    Paste one line into the header of your Brilliant Directories theme.

  2. 2

    Pass the partner id into your signup form

    Store it on the member record as they join so it survives the session.

  4. 4

    Set your commission and invite partners

    Pick a rate, decide how long renewals pay, then send your first invites.

Directory memberships renew on their own schedule, and Referly only knows about a renewal when your site reports it. Set the commission schedule to match how you actually bill.

Where it fits

Brilliant Directories is one connection in a program that can have several. Every sale lands in the same ledger with its source recorded.

Pair it with one of these

Brilliant Directories does not take the money, so something has to report the sale before a commission can be worked out.

Commonly used alongside

Connect as many as you need. Partners still get one link and one balance.
