Referrals Program ​

Refer another agency to the platform; if they sign up and subscribe, you earn 5% commission on their platform subscription.

Status: The referrals program may be gated behind a feature flag at launch. If you don't see it under Billing → Referrals, contact support — it can be enabled per Agency Partner.

How it works ​

  1. You get a referral link unique to your org.
  2. You share it (your blog, your podcast, your LinkedIn, slack groups, direct outreach).
  3. Someone visits, signs up using your link, picks a paid plan.
  4. You earn 5% of their platform subscription, paid out periodically to your Stripe Connect account.

Billing → Referrals → Your Link. It looks like:

Attribution ​

  • Referral clicks are tracked in session storage — the attribution sticks for as long as the visitor's browser tab stays open.
  • If the visitor signs up while the referral code is in session, attribution sticks.
  • Attribution is last-touch — if multiple referrals are in play, the most recent one wins.
  • Long-lived cookie-based attribution (so referrals stick across tab closes and across days) is on the Roadmap.

Commission terms ​

  • Rate: 5% of the platform subscription fee.
  • Excluded: Custom-domain add-on, AI generation overage packs, Stripe processing fees, anything they pay their own clients via storefront.
  • Payout method: Direct to your connected Stripe account, processed periodically.

You can see attributed sign-ups, MRR you've generated, and projected commissions on Billing → Referrals → Dashboard.

What you can't do ​

  • No self-referrals. Creating a second org under your own control to grab commission is against terms.
  • No paid ad spend on the platform brand. You can mention us in your own content, but you can't bid on our brand or trademarks in Google Ads.
  • No incentivized clicks. Don't promise a kickback to people who use your link — both sides risk being banned.

Everything else is fair game.
