Affiliate terms

Social Growth Engine affiliate program terms

These terms explain how commissions are earned, tracked, and paid. By applying or creating a referral link you accept them.

Last updated 28 September 2026

Commission rate

  • Approved affiliates earn 20% of every payment on the plan a referred customer bought through your link or code, for 12 months from their first payment. Renewals of that plan paid inside those 12 months count.
  • Payments made after the 12 months end earn no commission, and so do other plans the customer buys later without your link or code. A one-time purchase earns commission on that purchase.
  • Commission is calculated on the amount the customer actually paid, after any discount.

The 48-hour bonus: 30%

  • If a new affiliate joins through your referral link within 48 hours of your own approval, and that affiliate is approved, your rate becomes 30% for 12 months from your approval date.
  • The 30% rate applies to referred payments made while the bonus is active. A commission already recorded keeps the rate it was recorded at. When the bonus ends, your rate returns to 20%.
  • Joining with your own details, or a second account of your own, does not count.

How referrals are tracked

  • Share your referral link or your referral code. A visit through your link is remembered for 60 days on that browser.
  • A customer can also enter your code at checkout instead of using the link. Codes are not case sensitive. When a customer enters a code at checkout, that code decides the referral.

What referred customers get

  • Customers who arrive through your link or enter your code get 20% off their first payment on eligible plans. Some services carry a lower discount limit, and that limit always applies.

What does not qualify

  • Purchases made by you, with your email, or on your own account.
  • Payments that are refunded or charged back. These may void the matching commission.
  • Customers who did not arrive through your link or enter your code.
  • Payments recorded while an affiliate account is suspended.

Review and payouts

  • Every commission starts as pending and is reviewed by the Social Growth Engine team.
  • Approved commissions are paid manually through PayPal, using the payout details on your affiliate dashboard.
