# Integrations overview
> Connect Referly to your payment provider and website. Overview of every Referly integration — Stripe, Shopify, WooCommerce, Paddle, Chargebee, Polar, Zapier, Make — and where to find them in your dashboard.
Referly can only reward the right affiliate if it knows when a referred visitor actually becomes a customer. Integrations are how that information reaches Referly: you connect the tool you take payment with, and you add a small piece of tracking to your checkout or your site. From then on, every referred sale shows up in your dashboard and turns into a commission on its own.
This page is the map. It covers where integrations live, the two pieces every setup needs, and which guide to open for your platform.
## Where to find your integrations
In the left sidebar, select **Settings**, then **Integrations**. The page is headed **Integration Instructions**.
There are two things on it, and you'll usually use both:
* The **Connect Integration** button, at the top right, links Referly to your payment provider.
* The grid of cards below is a library of setup guides, one for each platform and checkout style Referly supports.
## The two pieces of an integration
Most setups need both halves, and they do different jobs:
1. **A connection to your payment provider.** This is what lets Referly read your sales and refunds, so it knows the real amount of every order and can work out the commission. For some providers it also lets Referly create the discount codes your affiliates hand out.
2. **Tracking on your site or checkout.** This is what tells Referly *which* affiliate a given sale belongs to. Without it, Referly sees the sale but has no idea who sent the customer.
The one common exception is a coupon-only program. If you track referrals purely through discount codes, each affiliate gets their own code and the code itself identifies them, so there's no script to add to your site.
## Connect your payment provider
Select **Connect Integration** at the top right to open the **Choose Integration** window, then pick your provider.
You can connect **Stripe**, **Shopify**, **Chargebee**, **Paddle**, **WooCommerce**, and **Polar**. A few integrations, like **Zylvie**, are private and only appear once they've been enabled for your account — contact support if you need one of those.
How you connect depends on the provider:
* **Stripe** and **Shopify** connect by signing in and approving Referly. There's nothing to copy and paste. Stripe also offers a test mode connection if you want to try the flow before going live.
* **Chargebee**, **Paddle**, **WooCommerce**, and **Polar** ask for credentials from that tool, such as an API key or access token. Referly tells you exactly which fields it needs and which permissions to switch on before you generate the key, so open that panel first and follow it in order.
Once a provider is linked, it shows a green **Connected** badge along with the account or site it's connected to, so you can tell at a glance that it worked.
To unlink a provider, open the same panel and select **Disconnect**.
## Choose the right setup guide
The cards on the Integrations page are step-by-step guides. Select **Instructions** on any card to open it — the steps come with your program's own tracking code already filled in, so there's nothing to assemble yourself.
Each card tells you what you're in for before you open it:
* The **name and one-line description** describe the exact situation the guide is for, usually phrased as "You use…".
* A difficulty label: **Easy**, **Medium**, or **Hard**.
* **No Developer Needed** or **Developer Needed**, so you know whether this is something you can finish yourself.
* The payment processor the guide applies to.
* A **Private** label on restricted integrations.
Pick the card that matches **how you take payment**, not only which company processes it. Stripe alone has five guides, because a Stripe Payment Link and a Stripe Pricing Table are set up in completely different ways. If you're not sure, check your checkout page and see which one it resembles.
If an agency runs your program for you, you may see fewer cards than are listed here. Agencies can hide integrations they don't support, so your list reflects what your agency has made available.

## If your platform isn't on the list
You don't need a named integration to run a program. Four options cover almost everything else:
* **Universal Forms Integration** tracks referrals through any form on your website, with no payment processor involved. It's the simplest option if you only need to know who referred a sign-up.
* **Zapier** connects Referly to more than 8,000 apps, and **Make** to more than 2,400, so you can pass sales in from a tool Referly doesn't talk to directly.
* **The Referly API** gives a developer full control over how sales are reported. It's the most flexible route and the most involved.
Track referrals through any form on your site.
Connect Referly to 8,000+ apps without code.
Build automated scenarios with 2,400+ apps.
API, webhooks, and custom tracking for developers.
## Integrations set up somewhere else
Two kinds of connection don't live on the Integrations page, because they're part of a different job:
* **Email marketing.** Klaviyo, Mailchimp, MailerLite, and Brevo sync your affiliates into a mailing list so you can send them campaigns. Connect these under **Settings**, then **Affiliate portal**, then **Email settings**. See [email marketing integrations](/docs/help-center/engage/emails/integrations).
* **Payout methods.** Wise, PayPal, and Referly Payouts are how you actually send affiliates their money. Set these up under **Settings**, then **Program details**, then **Payout settings**. See [payout methods](/docs/help-center/manage/payouts/payout-methods).
