How Syncro Managed Complex Attribution for Custom Billing
Syncro needed to track commissions across a highly customized, proprietary billing engine that standard plugins couldn’t reach. By leveraging the Tapfiliate REST API, they built a direct server-side integration that captured every subscription event with surgical precision.
This implementation reduced attribution errors to zero and allowed them to scale their partner program to thousands of affiliates. The API’s flexibility enabled them to trigger custom commission types based on specific user behavior, providing a significant competitive edge in the MSP software market.
