Affiliate Program
The affiliate program pays you a share of what the people you refer spend on Ticket Tool. You get a personal referral link, share it, and earn a recurring commission every time a referred customer pays. Earnings build up as a money balance. Once your available balance reaches the minimum payout threshold, you request a payout and we send it to your PayPal account.
How it works
Join from your account
Open the account dialog, go to the Affiliate tab, accept the program terms, and select Get my referral link. Enrollment is instant and your link is ready right away.
Share your link
Post it anywhere you like. Anyone who visits Ticket Tool through your link is tagged to you.
They subscribe
When someone you referred pays for a plan, you earn a commission on that payment.
They keep paying
You keep earning on every renewal for the length of your commission window.
Get paid
Once earnings clear the hold period and reach the minimum payout threshold, request a payout from the Affiliate tab. We review it, then send it to your PayPal account.
Referral rate
These are the standard program terms.
Your dashboard is the source of truth
The Affiliate tab shows your current rate and window next to your link. Some accounts run on custom terms, so always check there for the values that apply to you.
Commission is calculated on the amount actually paid, before tax, for each new-subscription and renewal payment inside the window. The window starts on the customer's first paid invoice, not the day they signed up. Free trials, $0 invoices, mid-cycle upgrade charges (prorations), and one-off purchases such as AI token packs do not generate commission.
Attribution: who gets credited
- First touch wins. The first referral link a person uses is the one credited, even if they later click a different one.
- One referrer per customer. Each referred account is tied to a single affiliate.
- 60-day window. If the person does not sign up within 60 days of their first visit, the attribution lapses.
- No self-referral. You cannot refer your own account.
Your link looks like https://ticket-tool.app/?ref=yourcode. A short form, https://ticket-tool.app/r/yourcode, redirects to the same place. Both set the referral cookie that ties new signups to you.
Tagging your channels
Add &c= to tag where you shared a link: https://ticket-tool.app/?ref=yourcode&c=youtube, or https://ticket-tool.app/r/yourcode?c=youtube for the short form. Tags are lowercase letters, numbers, dashes and underscores, up to 32 characters. The Affiliate tab breaks your signups and conversions down by tag, so you can see which channels are worth your time. Untagged links work too.
Earnings, holds, and your balance
Affiliate earnings are a money balance held in your affiliate account. Every commission moves through the same three stages:
Refunds and disputes
If a referred payment is refunded or disputed while it is still in hold, the matching commission is reversed. The hold period exists so reversals happen before you are paid, not after.
Getting paid
You get paid by PayPal. Add your PayPal address under Payout details in the Affiliate tab, then request a payout once your available balance reaches the minimum threshold. We review the request and send it. Your earnings keep building while you wait.
- Add your payout details first. A payout needs a PayPal address and your acknowledgment that any tax on your earnings is yours to handle. Both live under Payout details.
- Terms must be current. If we revise the program terms, you are asked to accept the new version before your next payout. Your balance keeps building in the meantime.
- Request a payout. When your available balance clears the minimum threshold, submit a request from the Affiliate tab. The claimed amount moves to Being paid out while it is in progress.
- We review, then send. Approved payouts go straight to PayPal. You can follow the status in your payout history.
- One at a time. You can only have one payout in progress; request again once it finishes.
- Nothing is lost. If a payout fails or is returned, the earnings go straight back to your available balance. Anything below the threshold keeps building toward your next payout.
Tracking performance
The Affiliate tab gives you a live view of your program:
- Available, In hold, Being paid out and Paid out balances
- Referrals signed up, conversions, and your conversion rate
- Monthly earnings and referral charts, with a breakdown table
- Recent commission activity and its status
Tax
Affiliate earnings are your income. You are responsible for working out and paying any tax owed on them where you live. We do not withhold tax and we cannot give tax advice. You confirm you understand this when you save your payout details.
Suspended accounts
If your affiliate account is suspended, new commissions are paused and you cannot request a payout. Any balance you have already earned is kept.
