Other people promote your product and earn a cut of each sale they bring in. COPE tracks who sent each sale, locks in the commission the moment it closes, and reverses it on its own if the buyer refunds. It is built into the same engine that runs your payments, so the numbers always match reality.

The short version

An affiliate program, in one sentence.

An affiliate program, in one sentence.

An affiliate program, in one sentence.

You give partners a link or a promo code. When someone buys through it, that partner earns a commission you set. Done well, it turns your customers and creators into a sales team you only pay when they actually sell. The hard part has always been keeping the payments accurate. That is the part COPE fixes.

Index a course, and your students get an AI assistant that answers their questions from your content, not the open internet. Turn any lesson into a quiz in seconds with AI-generated questions. You stop being the bottleneck for every quick question, and your content does the teaching for you.

The affiliate program problem

Most affiliate tools slowly drift out of sync with reality.

Everyone gets walked
through, start to finish.

Most affiliate tools slowly drift out of sync with reality.

Commission

Say you set a 20% commission. A sale closes. Two weeks later you lower the rate to 15% on that product. Most affiliate tools now show the old sale at 15% too. The math is wrong, the affiliate is confused, and the trust breaks.

Reverse

The same thing happens in reverse. You raise a rate, and past affiliates demand the new one for old sales. A buyer refunds, but the commission stays paid out. A chargeback claws a commission back, then you win the dispute, but the commission never comes back.

bolted

This happens because most affiliate tools are bolted onto your payment system as an afterthought. They run on old snapshots, manual fixes, and "trust us, we will sort it out."

COPE's Affiliate Engine is built into the same system that runs your sales, so it never falls out of sync.

From referral to paid commission

Every commission moves through three stages. None of them can be rewritten later.

The details are locked in at the moment of sale, so changing a rate or an affiliate later never changes past commissions.

Observed

the sale closes, the commission is recorded — A buyer purchases through an affiliate. At that exact moment, COPE saves the commission against the rate that was live, along with who gets credit and how the sale was tracked. That record is locked. No future edit can change it.

01.

It never rewrites history

What was true at sale time stays true. The rate, the credit, and the affiliate setup are saved into the commission record the moment the sale closes. Change the rate next month and the old commission stays accurate. Swap the affiliate's setup and past commissions stay correct.

02.

It only pays on money that actually settled

03.

It never lets two affiliates fight over one sale

Attribution, made simple

When a sale closes, COPE checks who gets credit in a set order. The first match wins.

checked first
Phone Offer link

If the sale came from a Phone Offer link, that link gets the credit. The link is one-time-use and tied to the buyer's email, so there is no question about who closed the deal.

checked second
First-click cookie

If there is no Phone Offer, credit goes to the affiliate who first sent the buyer to you, even if the buyer came back later through another channel.

checked third
Promo code at checkout

If there is no cookie and no Phone Offer, an affiliate's promo code entered at checkout decides the credit.

No match

If none of the above apply, the sale is logged as unattributed. No commission is created, and the sale still completes normally.
