    The Challenge of Stripe Attribution

    Stripe is a phenomenal payment gateway, but it does not natively track affiliate cookies or referral hashes out of the box. Developers often attempt to build custom middleware to capture `ref` parameters and pass them to Stripe’s metadata, which becomes a maintenance nightmare.

    The Middleware Solution

    Rather than reinventing the wheel, the optimal technical architecture is to utilize a purpose-built middleware that handles cookie tracking, cross-domain attribution, and Stripe Customer ID matching automatically.

    Deploying Rewardful via API

    By implementing the Rewardful tracking script, developers can bridge the gap between their front-end web application and their backend Stripe billing. It takes minutes to deploy and ensures 100% accurate commission tracking, freeing up your engineering resources for core product development.
