Overview
Referly and Brilliant Directories
Connect your Brilliant Directories directory 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 Brilliant Directories
Fourteen things, each one read from what Brilliant Directories reports rather than from a feature list. The two chips below are the short answer.
What it does
- YesReferral tracking — A signup, trial or new customer is recorded against the partner who sent them, before any money moves.
- YesSale tracking — Every completed payment arrives as a sale with its amount, products and currency, and a commission is calculated from it.
- 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 conditionRecurring commissions on renewalsA renewal is tracked when your own code reports it as a second sale. Nothing polls the platform for you.
- NoRefunds reverse the commissionNothing is polled from a platform, so a refund is reversed by your own code or by a teammate in the dashboard.
- 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 taxTax is deducted when your call reports a tax amount.
- NoCommission net of shipping — Shipping is subtracted before the commission is calculated. On by default, and switchable.
- 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 developerSomeone has to add the tracking snippet to your site once.
- NoConnect from the dashboardThere is nothing to authorise. The snippet does the work.
- 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 Brilliant Directories 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
Paste one line into the header of your Brilliant Directories theme.
- 2
Pass the partner id into your signup form
Store it on the member record as they join so it survives the session.
Needs a developer - 3
Report memberships as sales
Fire the sale call when a paid membership starts or renews.
Needs a developer - 4
Set your commission and invite partners
Pick a rate, decide how long renewals pay, then send your first invites.
Directory memberships renew on their own schedule, and Referly only knows about a renewal when your site reports it. Set the commission schedule to match how you actually bill.
The rest of your stack
Where it fits
Brilliant Directories is one connection in a program that can have several. Every sale lands in the same ledger with its source recorded.
Pair it with one of these
Brilliant Directories does not take the money, so something has to report the sale before a commission can be worked out.
Commonly used alongside
Connect as many as you need. Partners still get one link and one balance.
