Use case - E-Commerce

Pay your affiliates exactly what they earned.

You run an online store. Bloggers, coupon sites, and partner networks send you buyers. Coritra tracks each sale back to the right affiliate, applies your commission rules automatically, and handles every payout accurately and on time.

The challenge

Running an affiliate programme without the right tools is painful.

As your partner network grows, the complexity grows with it. Without a dedicated system, things break quickly, and your partners notice.

Commission errors & disputes

Manual spreadsheet calculations inevitably produce errors. Affiliates dispute their numbers, you spend hours reconciling. Trust erodes, partnerships suffer.

Returns break your commission math

A customer returns a product after the affiliate was already credited. Reversing the commission mid-month while keeping a clean audit trail means manual work in a spreadsheet - and real risk of getting it wrong.

Different rates for different partners

Top influencers get 15%, coupon sites get 8%, new affiliates are on a trial rate. Keeping all those rules correct across dozens of partners and product categories is unmanageable manually.

How Coritra helps

Everything your affiliate programme needs, in one place.

From the first referral link click to the final payout, Coritra handles the full commission lifecycle so your team doesn't have to.

Affiliate management

One profile for every affiliate. Total clarity on every sale.

Affiliate partner profiles

Add every blogger, influencer, coupon site, and partner network as a named partner. Assign a unique identifier and track all their attributed sales in one place.

Sale attribution per affiliate

Each order sent to Coritra is matched to the correct affiliate by their ID. You always know who drove what sale, down to the order value and product category.

Custom attribution schemas

Define the exact fields to capture per sale, product category, order value, channel, coupon code. Schemas enforce structure so your commission formulas always have clean data.

Commission rules

Different rates per product, category, or partner tier.

Product & category-based formulas

Pay 12% on electronics, 18% on fashion, and 0% on clearance items. Build conditional commission formulas in the visual editor, no code, no spreadsheets.

Time-bounded rate changes

Running a Black Friday promo with boosted affiliate rates? Set a start and end date. Rates switch automatically, and old commissions are never retroactively changed.

Partner tier structures

Separate workspaces for Bronze, Silver, and Gold affiliates, each with their own commission formula and settlement cycle. Total programme isolation.

Settlements & returns

Refunds, returns, and payouts. Handled without drama.

Clean attribution cancellations

Customer returned the order? Cancel the attribution in Coritra and the downstream commission is reversed automatically. History is preserved, with a clear audit trail of what was cancelled and why.

Monthly batch payouts

At month-end, create a settlement batch for each affiliate. Coritra calculates the net amount owed automatically, accounting for all sales, returns, and prior partial payments.

Export-ready payout reports

Download a clean CSV or PDF for every settlement, every line traceable to its originating order. Share with your finance team or attach to a partner payment note.
