Affiliate Proof
Give affiliates real-time sales visibility so they promote harder.
The Problem
Your affiliates don't know if their links are working. They share, wait days for reports, lose momentum. Some stop promoting because they feel like they're shouting into the void. You're leaving money on the table because your best promoters can't see their impact.
The Solution
Every sale triggers a webhook to your affiliate's endpoint (or a public stream they can watch). They see purchases in real-time with their affiliate tag. When they tweet and see 3 sales pop in, they tweet again. Visibility creates velocity.
How It Works
- Add Ohooky endpoint to Stripe webhooks
- Share the public stream URL with affiliates (or send to their webhook)
- Affiliates watch their sales roll in live
