# 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:

* Enter your code in the **referral code** field when they sign up for a paid plan
* Mention your code in their chat with our team

:::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.
