At a glance
You earn one commission for each customer you refer, on that customer's first order. Your rate starts at 12% and rises to 15%, 20% and then 25% as the total net revenue you have referred grows. A higher rate applies to revenue after you reach it, and your tier never resets.
Key rule: One commission per customer, on their first order only. There is no trail, lifetime or recurring commission on a customer's later purchases, and none of your commission is kept back as a reserve.
What earns a commission
The customer's first order: a 2-Step, a 1-Step or an Instant account. When that customer buys again later, you earn no further commission for them.
Calculated on the whole first order after discounts, excluding tax. Add-ons count, and so does every account in a multi-account order: three accounts bought in one order earn one commission, calculated on the whole order.
Flash. A Flash customer's commission is earned when they pay the rest of the Flash price after passing. It is calculated on the full Flash price, not only on the entry payment.
Which customers count as yours is decided by the tracking rules in How referrals are tracked: links, codes and the 45-day window.
Your rate
Your rate depends on the total net revenue you have referred, counted over all time, and each tier unlocks more than a rate:
Total net revenue you have referred | Your rate | What comes with it |
From your first customer | 12% | Partner dashboard |
From $5,000 | 15% | Giveaway stock for your audience |
From $25,000 | 20% | More giveaway stock, and a named contact at EverFunded |
From $100,000 | 25% | Co-marketing, and a direct line to the team |
A new rate is never back-dated. It applies to revenue after you reach its threshold, not to revenue before it.
Your tier never resets, however long you take. If you refer nobody for 12 months we may update your terms, and we give you 90 days' notice before we do. Even then, your rate is not reset.
Example
This example shows how the calculation works. It is not a typical or expected amount, and commission depends entirely on first orders from customers you refer.
A partner has referred $6,000 of net revenue so far, so their rate is 15%. They refer a new customer whose first order is a 2-Step that comes to $450 after discounts. The commission is 15% of $450, which is $67.50. When that customer buys again later, the partner earns no further commission for them.
What to watch
Commission is not a salary or guaranteed income. You earn only when a customer you referred makes a first order, and the amount depends on that order.
Approval, payment and deductions are explained in When affiliate commission is approved and paid, and when it is deducted.
What you tell your audience must follow the partner rules in Partner rules: disclosure, claims you must never make, and countries.
If a commission, your rate or a referral on your own partner account does not look right, a person checks it: see Your partner account: referrals, balance and payments.
