Overview
Referly and Ecwid
Connect your Ecwid ecommerce store 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 Ecwid
Fourteen things, each one read from what Ecwid reports rather than from a feature list. The two chips below are the short answer.
What it does
- YesSale tracking — Every completed payment arrives as a sale with its amount, products and currency, and a commission is calculated from it.
- YesCommission net of tax — Tax is subtracted before the commission is calculated, so you are not paying a percentage of money that belongs to a tax authority. On by default, and switchable.
- YesCarries your own click id — 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 conditionReferral trackingThe referral is created by the order-confirmation call, alongside the sale. There is no separate step that records a visitor before they buy.
- NoRecurring commissions on renewals — 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.
- NoRefunds reverse the commissionEcwid does not report refunds back. Reverse the sale in Referly to claw the commission back.
- NoCoupon-code attribution — A customer who types a partner's discount code at checkout is attributed to that partner, with no link click and no cookie involved.
- NoA discount code per partner — Referly creates the discount code inside your platform when a partner joins, so you never mint codes by hand.
- NoPer-product commission rules — Referly reads your product catalogue, so a rule can pay one rate on one product and a different rate on another.
- NoCollection-level rules — Target a whole collection instead of listing its products one by one, and new products in that collection inherit the rate.
- With a conditionCommission net of shippingDeducted when the confirmation call reports a shipping amount.
- NoPay partners in store credit — Instead of cash, a partner's balance can be issued as credit inside the platform they already shop in.
- With a conditionConnects without a developerThe tracking call goes on your order-confirmation page once.
- NoConnect from the dashboardNothing is authorised. The confirmation page reports the order.
- NoSyncs partners into a list — 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.
- NoPays partners through it — Money actually leaves through this platform. Referly hands it the batch, and it moves the funds to each partner.
- NoPays everyone in one batch — One approval sends every partner what they are owed, rather than one transfer at a time.
Setup
Connect Ecwid 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
Add the tracking script to your site
One line in your storefront's head tag, then let Referly verify it.
- 2
Add the sale call to your order-confirmation page
It reads the order total and currency and reports them when the order completes.
Needs a developer - 3
Check an order end to end
Place a test order through a partner link and confirm the sale appears in Referly.
- 4
Set your commission and invite partners
Pick a rate, then send your first invites.
Ecwid does record referrals, the confirmation call creates the referral and the sale together. What it does not have is a step before the purchase, so a visitor who browses and leaves is not recorded until they come back and buy. There is no coupon-code attribution and no per-product rate here.

Both, but at the same moment. The order-confirmation call creates the referral and the sale together, so there is no step that records a visitor before they buy. A visitor who browses and leaves is not recorded until they come back and complete an order.
