How Referrals Work

The Referrals app includes a short overview that explains the process of earning commissions through referrals. After opening the Referrals app, scroll down to view a simple three-step guide that explains how to start earning commissions:

  1. Copy your referral link
    Your unique link is provided in the app. Anyone who signs up through it will be tracked as your referral.

  2. Share it everywhere
    Promote your link using social media, email, messaging apps, or any other channel where your audience engages.

  3. Get paid
    When someone signs up and becomes a paying customer through your link, you’ll earn a monthly commission as long as their subscription remains active. ommissions are distributed through Tipalti on the 1st and 15th of each month, once your payment account is set up and marked as payable.
