How affiliate commission works

What you earn on each customer you refer, for how long, and when it is paid

Updated 14 October 2026

As a SpamCipher affiliate you share your link. When someone signs up through it and pays for SpamCipher ONE, you earn a share of every plan payment they make: 30% for their first 12 months, then 10% for as long as they stay. Your partner area shows your rate, your referrals and what you have earned.

Note: Commission is on SpamCipher ONE payments, less tax. Credit packs do not earn commission.
Note: Your exact rate is in your partner area, under your name.

Before you start

  • An approved affiliate account
  • About 4 minutes

How a customer becomes yours

Step 1: Through your link

  • A click on your link counts for 60 days. If the person clicks someone else's link after yours, the last click counts.
  • The customer must be new to SpamCipher. Someone who already owns a workspace does not become your referral.
  • The customer gets 10% off their first SpamCipher ONE purchase: the first three months on monthly billing, or the first invoice on annual billing.

What you earn

Step 2: The rate

  • 30% of each plan payment for the first 12 months, counted from the customer's first payment.
  • 10% of each plan payment after that, for as long as the subscription runs.

Step 3: Monthly and annual plans

  • A monthly payment earns one commission line.
  • An annual payment is split into 12 monthly parts, so if the customer leaves partway through the year, the rest stops.

Step 4: Refunds and your own purchases

  • If a payment is refunded or disputed, the commission on it is taken back in proportion.
  • Signing up through your own link does not count. When a buyer's details match yours, the commission is held for review.

When you are paid

Step 5: The hold and the payout

  • Each commission line becomes due 30 days after the month it is for, so refunds can clear first.
  • Payouts are made on the 15th to everyone whose due commission is $50 or more. A smaller amount waits until it reaches $50.
  • Before your first payout, add your PayPal address and your tax details under Get paid in your partner area.

Troubleshooting

A referral is on hold

Its details matched your own account, or something about it needs a look. We check it before anything is paid. Contact us if you think it is a mistake.

I was not paid on the 15th

Check that your due commission is $50 or more and that your PayPal address and tax details are saved under Get paid.

A customer says they used my link but they are not in my referrals

The click counts for 60 days and only for a new customer. If they clicked another link after yours, that one counts.
