How you earn

How the partner program pays you

1

One-time commission on new orders

You earn 20% commission on every new customer you refer, the moment they place their first order through you.

2

Permanent commission on bigger packages

For WP 30, SmartWP 20, SmartWoo or bigger packages, commission is paid permanently, every billing cycle - not just once.

3

Commission on the whole order

Commission is calculated on the full order value, not just hosting - domain registration and any add-ons count towards your commission too.

In practice

Everything you need to manage your partnership

The partner program is designed so you never need to track orders or calculate commissions yourself - we handle it for you.

Real-time partner dashboard

See every customer you have referred, their invoices, and your calculated commissions live in the dashboard.

30-day tracking cookie

When a customer clicks your referral link, the order is attributed to you for 30 days - even if it is placed weeks later.

Automatic payout notification

You get an automatic notification once your accumulated commissions reach the payout minimum - no need to keep checking yourself.

No registered business required

You can join as an individual too, for example invoicing your commissions through a freelancer-invoicing service or a cooperative.

Who it is for

Primarily built for web design companies

Our partner program is primarily intended for companies that design websites, but there is nothing stopping you from joining even without a registered business.

You can build a referral page and earn resale commissions, but you should then be able to invoice the commissions through a freelancer-invoicing service or a cooperative. If you are VAT-registered, you can add VAT on top of the invoiced amount.
