# Openfort Affiliate Program

Earn a commission every time you bring a new paying customer to Openfort. Whether you are a developer, founder, agency, or part of an ecosystem, you can refer teams to Openfort and get paid for the business you send our way.

## How it works

:::steps
### Apply

Chat with our team and tell us how you would like to get paid.

### Get your code

We'll provide you with your personal referral code.

### Share it

Send the code to acquaintances, friends, or colleagues who are building on blockchain and you believe would be a good fit for Openfort.

### Get paid

When someone you referred becomes a paying customer, you earn a commission for the life of their initial subscription.
:::

## What you earn

Choose how you want your commission paid out:

| Payout type | Rate | Example (Pro plan) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Cash** | **20%** | **$49.80 / month** in cash |
| **Additional operations** | **25%** | **25k operations / month** added on top of your plan |
| **Subscription extension** | **25%** | **$62.25 / month** off your own plan |

Commission is **20% in cash, or 25% taken as additional operations on Openfort or a subscription extension**, based on what your referred customer actually pays Openfort, and it accrues for as long as their initial subscription runs.

:::info
The example column assumes a referral on the **Pro plan ($249 / month, 100k operations)**. You keep earning that amount every month for the life of their initial subscription.
:::

## Who can join

Anyone can refer. Individuals, developers, founders, communities, agencies, and partners are all welcome.

## Getting your referral credited

Your referral needs to tell us your code so we can link the customer to you. They can mention your code in their chat with our team, or on a call with us.

:::tip
Make sure your referrals know your code before they sign up for a paid plan.

## Program terms

* **Qualifies on the first cleared payment.** A signup alone does not count. Commission starts once your referral makes their first cleared invoice payment.
* **No self-referral.** You cannot refer your own organization or related accounts.
* **$100 minimum payout.** Balances pay out once you reach $100.
* **90-day holding period.** If a referred customer refunds or churns within 90 days, that commission does not count.
* **Net of refunds.** Commission is calculated on the amount paid net of refunds and chargebacks.
* **Initial term only.** Commission accrues for the initial subscription term. If a customer churns and later re-subscribes, the new term does not count.

## Payouts

Payouts run on a **monthly** basis. Once your balance is over $100 and the 90-day holding period has passed with no refund, we pay you in your chosen form: cash, additional operations on Openfort, or a subscription extension applied directly to your account.
