Partners & commissions

Partners

A partner is anyone you pay for sales: a creator, an affiliate, a customer referring friends, or an AI agent. Partners use Bridgly for free and have their own login, where they see their links, sales and earnings.

To add one: go to Links & Codes → Create, turn on Partner, and pick an existing partner or invite a new one by email. You can also see everyone under Partners.

Links and codes

• Links: short links on bridgly.co or your own domain. Each click is recorded and passes a click id to your site so the sale can be matched.
• Codes: a partner's discount code. A sale that used the code is credited to that partner, with or without a click.
• QR codes: for print and packaging. They work like links, and can also start an in-store session.

Commission

Go to Partners and click Create commission.

Setting	Options
Reward type	Percent of sale, or flat dollars per sale
Paid as	One-time per sale: only the first sale for each customer. Recurring: every sale, including subscription renewals
Hold days	Days a commission waits before it can be paid. Set it to your return window so refunds are taken back first

Changing a commission creates a new version, so past sales keep the rate they earned.

Attribution window

A click counts for 90 days by default: if the shopper buys within that time, the partner gets credit. You can change it under Partners settings.

Refunds and disputes

A refund takes back the matching share of commission, and a dispute takes it all back. This applies even if the commission is still on hold.

Self-referral

If a partner buys through their own link (their email matches the customer's), the sale isn't credited.
