# Affiliate program

> Earn a commission for every PayGlue customer you refer.

**Settings > Affiliate** lets you earn **40% of every payment** a referral makes to PayGlue, for as long as they stay a customer.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Grab your link">
    Click **Become an affiliate**. This takes you to PayGlue's affiliate program on Creem, where you create a free affiliate account and get your referral link.
  </Step>

  <Step title="They sign up">
    Share your link. Anyone who signs up to PayGlue through it is tracked as your referral for 30 days after their first click.
  </Step>

  <Step title="You get paid">
    Creem tracks the referral's payments and pays out your 40% commission directly — PayGlue itself does not process affiliate payouts.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Becoming an affiliate requires a separate Creem account — it's not automatic for existing PayGlue accounts. There's no cost to join and no minimum payout.
</Note>

## Estimating your earnings

The Affiliate page includes a calculator: pick a plan and how many referrals you expect to keep, and it shows your estimated monthly and yearly commission. Only the **Founding** plan can actually be purchased today, so it's selected by default for an accurate estimate — Solo, Studio, and Agency are shown for reference but become purchasable at public launch.

## Payouts

Payout scheduling, method, and any threshold are handled entirely by Creem's affiliate program, not by PayGlue. Check your Creem affiliate dashboard for payout details.
