The affiliate ledger built like a financial product.
Conduit is a two-sided marketplace where merchants run affiliate programs with prepaid balances, saved cards, or net-30 invoicing — and creators get paid directly to their bank account via Stripe Connect Express.
No card required to sign up. Test mode active.

// for merchants
Three billing modes. One ledger.
Pick how you fund commissions. Switch anytime. Every charge, top-up, and refund posts to an append-only ledger you can audit.
Prepaid balance
Top up via Stripe. Commissions debit instantly. Low-balance warnings before things stall.
Card on file
Save a card with SetupIntent. We charge off-session per commission with idempotency keys.
Net-30 invoiced
Admin-approved credit line. Monthly Stripe invoice with one summary line per period.
// for affiliates
Paid by the platform, not chased through email.
