Integration Effort: How Long Does It Take to Set Up Reditus?

The most common question on demo calls is how much developer time Reditus takes. Most teams finish the full integration in under 30 minutes, and the basic setup needs no dedicated developer.

The four setup steps

1. Connect your Stripe account (5 minutes). Reditus integrates directly with Stripe to track subscriptions and revenue and to calculate commissions automatically. The connection runs through Stripe's standard OAuth flow: you authorize Reditus to read subscription data, and that is it. There are no API keys to manage and no custom code. Reditus needs read access to your Stripe subscriptions and customers so it can attribute revenue to the correct affiliate and apply your commission rules.
2. Add the tracking script (5 to 10 minutes). Drop a small JavaScript snippet into your marketing site and your app. It tracks affiliate link clicks, matches them to signups, and holds attribution through the conversion funnel. Adding it works much like adding Google Analytics or any other tracking pixel, and the script is lightweight enough that it does not affect page load.
3. Set up the in-app referral widget (10 to 15 minutes). If you want to run an in-app referral program, which we recommend, embed the Reditus referral widget in your product. It gives your customers a branded interface for sharing referral links, and you control where it appears, how it looks, and what rewards are offered.
4. Configure your program settings (10 minutes). Set your commission structure (percentage, recurring or one-time, duration), payout threshold, cookie duration, and program terms. All of it happens in the Reditus dashboard with no code required.

Total setup time

For most teams the complete integration takes 30 to 60 minutes start to finish. If you only want the affiliate program and skip the in-app referral widget, budget roughly 15 to 20 minutes.

Do you need a developer?

Not for the Stripe connection or the program settings. The tracking script and the referral widget need someone who can add a JavaScript snippet to your website and app, which can be a developer, a no-code tool, or a tag manager like Google Tag Manager.

If you do not use Stripe

Reditus integrates directly with Stripe. On another payment processor, you connect through the Reditus API instead: you send your payment data to Reditus, and we match it to the right referrals to calculate commissions automatically.
