The [Refer Program terms](https://affitor.com/legal/refer-program) are the rules. This page walks through them with examples, so you can predict exactly what a referral pays. ## The three rewards | Reward | Amount | Paid when | How often | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | First paid invoice bonus (M1) | **$50** | The brand pays its first invoice with partner commissions greater than $0, even if Affitor's fee is $0 | Once per referred brand | | Growth bonus | **$350** | The program reaches $10,000 in paid sales and the brand has paid the related Affitor invoices and its partners | Once per referred brand | | Revenue share | **15%** of Affitor's platform fee | Every platform-fee invoice the brand pays | For 12 months from the first platform-fee invoice the brand pays | Rewards are counted per referred brand, which is the person you brought to Affitor, not per program. Each reward is held for 30 days today (terms, [section 6](https://affitor.com/legal/refer-program#holds-and-payouts)). The revenue share then reaches your balance automatically; the $50 and $350 bonuses are reviewed one by one first. Your **Referrals** page shows each brand's stage and your **Earnings**: **On hold**, **Released** and **Lifetime**. ## Example: one brand, several programs You refer Minh. Minh signs up through your link and creates a program. 1. Minh pays the first invoice with partner commissions greater than $0. You earn **$50**, even if Affitor's fee is $0; the bonus still needs admin approval after its hold. 2. Minh creates and launches a second program. Nothing new: the $50 is paid once per brand. 3. The first program reaches $10,000 in paid sales, and Minh has paid the related Affitor invoices and its partners. You earn **$350**, once. 4. For the next 12 months you earn **15%** of every platform fee Minh pays, on every program Minh runs, including the second one. Affitor is free for a program until its partners drive its first $10,000 in sales, then the fee is 3.5% of affiliate-driven sales. The 12-month revenue-share period starts with the first invoice that carries a platform fee. An earlier paid commission invoice can qualify for M1 with a $0 Affitor fee without starting that period. ## Team members do not change who earns Credit belongs to the person you referred, who created the brand. When Minh invites teammates to the brand's programs: - your rewards from Minh's brand do not change; - the people Minh adds do not count as new referrals, and inviting them earns no one a reward; - if one of them later creates a brand of their own, that brand is a new referral, credited to whoever's link they used. ## Who gets credit - **Last click wins.** If several partners' links were clicked, the partner whose link was clicked last before the person signed up earns the rewards. If they signed up without a link (for example as a partner first), the last link clicked before they create their first program counts. - **30 days.** A click counts for 30 days: the sign-up, or the first program when there was no link at sign-up, has to happen within 30 days of it. - **One brand, one partner.** Once a brand is credited to you, that does not change. - **No self-referrals.** Your own link used for your own brand earns nothing (terms, [section 5](https://affitor.com/legal/refer-program#self-referrals)). ## What never earns - A brand that was already on Affitor, adding another program. - Inviting a partner or a team member to a program. Only your Refer a brand link earns. - Your own brand: a self-referral (terms, [section 5](https://affitor.com/legal/refer-program#self-referrals)).
