Overview

Referly and Cal.com

Connect your Cal.com to Referly to track referrals and payments.

What connects

What Referly tracks in Cal.com

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

Referrals trackedSales tracked, with a condition

What it does

  • Yes — A signup, trial or new customer is recorded against the partner who sent them, before any money moves.
  • Yes — An `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 conditionBookings are recorded as referrals, and paid bookings are recorded as sales.
  • No — Renewals arrive as their own payments, so a partner can be paid for a set number of payments, a set number of months, or for the life of the customer.
  • NoNothing is polled from a platform, so a refund is reversed by your own code or by a teammate in the dashboard.
  • No — A customer who types a partner's discount code at checkout is attributed to that partner, with no link click and no cookie involved.
  • No — Referly creates the discount code inside your platform when a partner joins, so you never mint codes by hand.
  • No — Referly reads your product catalogue, so a rule can pay one rate on one product and a different rate on another.
  • No — Target 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.
  • No — Shipping is subtracted before the commission is calculated. On by default, and switchable.
  • No — Instead 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.
  • No — Partners 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.
  • No — Money actually leaves through this platform. Referly hands it the batch, and it moves the funds to each partner.
  • No — One approval sends every partner what they are owed, rather than one transfer at a time.

Setup

Connect Cal.com 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

    One line in your head tag on the page that holds your booking widget.

  2. 2

    Pass the partner id into the Cal.com embed

    Add it as a query parameter on the embed so it travels with the booking.

    Needs a developer
  3. 3

    Point Cal.com's webhook at Referly

    Bookings arrive as referrals, and paid bookings arrive as sales.

    Needs a developer
  4. 4

    Set your commission and invite partners

    Pay per booking, per paid booking, or both.

Cal.com is one of the few booking tools that reports the payment as well as the booking, so partners can be paid on either. Free bookings still arrive, they are referrals with no revenue attached.

  • Yes. Cal.com reports both, so bookings arrive as referrals and paid bookings arrive as sales. That makes it one of the few booking tools where partners can be paid on either.
