3. Commission Structure
3.1 Commission Rate
You will earn 15% commission (Pro members) or 20% commission (Plus members) on all payments made by customers you refer, including:
- Initial subscription payments (monthly or annual)
- Recurring subscription renewals
- Credit pack purchases
3.2 Attribution
A referral is attributed to you when a visitor clicks your unique affiliate link and completes a purchase within 30 days. The 30-day cookie window begins at the time of the click.
3.3 Commission Hold Period
Commissions remain in "pending" status for 30 days after being earned. This hold period allows for refund requests and chargeback resolution. After 30 days, commissions are automatically approved and become available for payout.
3.4 Recurring Commissions
For subscription customers, you will continue to earn your tier's commission rate (15% for Pro, 20% for Plus) on each recurring payment for up to 12 months, as long as the customer remains subscribed. Your commission rate is based on your own plan at the time each commission is calculated. Commissions end after 12 months, or earlier if the customer cancels, churns, or requests a refund.
