What to bring to a vendor trial
Use the same evidence pack for each candidate: one active affiliate, a referral link, the checkout path, a recurring customer, a refunded sale and an unpaid commission. Record the expected outcome before testing. Keep unsupported requirements visible rather than assuming feature parity.
Narrow this shortlist with three decisions:
Map providers to campaigns
List the payment provider, currency, domain and commission model for each campaign. Mark any that cannot be moved without changing billing.
Use a demanding recurring case
Compare a trial converting to paid, a renewal, a cancellation and a refund. Recreate the commission result as well as the reported revenue.
Size the actual plan
Use affiliate revenue, campaign count, staff access and payout services to identify the plan you need. A lower entry price does not establish lower total cost.
