If affiliate revenue lands in Stripe, GrowSurf can turn those payments into commission records automatically. That gives your team a clear view of which partners drove paying customers without maintaining a separate attribution spreadsheet.
The main setup choice is simple: connect the Stripe account that receives affiliate-driven payments, confirm your commission rules in GrowSurf, and use test mode before you expect live commissions to appear.

In Options > Integrations, connect Stripe from the affiliate program you want GrowSurf to monitor. Use the same Stripe account your team uses for the real customer charges, otherwise the commissions will be tied to the wrong revenue stream.

After Stripe is connected, GrowSurf listens for the payment activity tied to referred customers and generates commissions automatically. Refunds, taxes, and chargebacks are factored into the commission calculation, so you do not have to hand-correct each partner record.
If your program does not add participants automatically, make sure you are creating participant records before the Stripe payment happens. That is how GrowSurf knows which affiliate should receive commission credit for a given customer.

GrowSurf supports both Stripe test data and Stripe sandbox accounts. Keep test mode on while you validate a sample payment flow, then switch it off before expecting live commissions to generate.
The Stripe integration is the commission source, not necessarily the payout rail. Many teams review approved commissions in GrowSurf, wait through the refund window, and then pay affiliates through their normal payout process or finance tool.
If the Stripe payment currency does not match the program currency in GrowSurf, the expected commission may not generate the way your team expects.
The activity log is usually the fastest place to confirm whether GrowSurf saw the customer, matched the affiliate, and adjusted the commission after a refund or chargeback.
No. In this setup, Stripe is the payment source and GrowSurf is the commission tracker. Your team can still pay affiliates through the finance workflow or payout tool you already use.
GrowSurf adjusts commissions when Stripe reports refunds or chargebacks, which is why many teams wait through a hold period before sending the final payout.
Yes. GrowSurf supports Stripe test mode and Stripe sandbox connections so you can validate commission generation before turning the integration back to live mode.
