One referral, end to end

Follow the money path the way an auditor would.

Most affiliate tools show you a number. Brought shows you the path that produced it, one verifiable step at a time.

  1. 01 ref=lena.creates

    A creator shares a link.

    Someone clicks through from a video, a newsletter, or a community post. The referral is stamped at the source.

  2. 02 trial.started

    They start a trial.

    The visitor becomes a Stripe customer. The link, the coupon, and the customer now live on one trail.

  3. 03 invoice.paid

    The first invoice clears.

    Card charged, subscription active. A commission is created, with the exact Stripe event that made it.

  4. 04 refund_window.open holding

    The refund window holds it.

    Money is real but not safe yet. The commission stays pending until trial and refund risk pass.

  5. 05 commission.approved cleared

    You approve, then you pay.

    The window clears. You approve the record and export it. No payout leaves until you say so.

A narrow tool that stays honest about money.

Every commission can explain itself.

See why a commission exists, which Stripe event created it, and what still needs to clear before it can be paid.

Attribution without guesswork.

Links, coupons, Stripe customers, trials, refunds, and plan changes belong on one visible trail, not three spreadsheets.

Refund-aware by default.

Commissions stay pending until the trial and refund window pass. You never approve money that might bounce back.

No custody in V1.

Brought produces clean, exportable payout records. You pay creators and partners through your own method. No funds move through us, so there is nothing to dispute.

export ready

Every approval leaves a record.

Trust comes before automation. Make the creator-driven revenue path legible, then decide what to pay. The audit trail is the product.
