How it works
Simple on the surface. Careful underneath.
Here's exactly how a referral turns into a commission, and a commission into money in your account.
01
Join in a minute
Create a free partner account, pick the apps you'd genuinely recommend, and accept the program terms.
Some programs approve instantly; others review applications, usually within two business days.
02
Grab your link
Every program gives you a personal referral link and a short tracked link, ready to paste anywhere.
Use the short link to see clicks in your dashboard. Both carry your unique partner code.
03
Refer merchants
Share it in your content, newsletter, community or client work. When a store installs through your link, it's yours.
The first partner to refer a store gets the credit — and keeps it for the life of that install.
04
Get paid
Commissions accrue as referred stores pay. Request a payout from your dashboard once you reach the minimum.
Payouts go to your PayPal. Every commission is itemised, so you always know where the money came from.
The life of a referral
From click to commission.
Every step is recorded, so every commission can be traced back to the payment that earned it.
Click
Someone follows your link to the app's listing.
Install
They install the app. The install is credited to you and any install bounty is recorded.
First payment
When the store makes its first qualifying payment, any sign-up bonus is earned and your commission window opens.
Recurring
Each later qualifying payment earns your commission, until the program's commission window ends.
Payout
Your available balance is yours to request once it reaches the minimum. We pay by PayPal.
Attribution, in plain words
Your referral link carries your partner code. When a merchant installs the app through it, that install is credited to you.
The first partner to refer a store keeps the credit.A later referral for the same store doesn't replace it, so the rule is the same for everyone.
Only enrolled partners earn. If a program requires approval, your link starts crediting installs once you're approved.
Commissions & payouts
Commission is calculated from the payments referred stores make, using the rules shown on each program's page. The percentage, commission window, any install bounty and any minimum plan value are all spelled out.
Commissions that are later reversed — a refund, a chargeback, or a violation of the policy — are cancelled and no longer count toward your balance.
When your available balance reaches the minimum, request a payout from your dashboard. We'll send it to your PayPal and mark it paid.
Good to know
A few common questions
Each partner gets a unique code that is added to the app's listing link (?mref=your-code). When a merchant installs through that link, the install is credited to you. You can also use your short link, which additionally counts clicks in your dashboard.
