Earn when developers
choose Cloudpen.
Earn 20% on every lifetime deal you refer and 20% on every subscription payment, for the first 12 payments. No minimum audience and no cap on how many people you refer.
You apply from your Cloudpen account, so there is nothing to retype. Create a free account if you do not have one yet. Read the Partner Terms.

Minimum payout
From application to payout.
Four steps. No contracts, no invoices to chase.
Apply with your account
Sign in, tell us about your audience and submit. We use the name and email on your Cloudpen account. Every application is read by a person within 48 hours.
Get your links
Once approved you get a permanent link for the whole site, a link for the lifetime deal, and a live dashboard to follow every click and sale.
Share it anywhere
A click is credited for 30 days. If that person signs up and buys inside the window, the sale is yours.
Get paid
Commissions become available 14 days after a sale, once the refund window has passed. Request a payout when you reach $20 and we send it by bank transfer.
Two ways to earn, both simple.
These are the standard rates. They are the same for every partner unless we agree something different.
Lifetime deals
One payment from the customer, one commission for you
20%
of the sale price after discounts and the payment processor fee, on every lifetime deal bought through your link.
Example: a $250 sale, minus the $13.00 processor fee, leaves $237.00. You earn $47.40.
Subscriptions
Earn again every time they pay
20%
of every subscription payment after the processor fee, for the first 12 payments of each customer you refer.
Example: one Pro subscriber at $12 a month, minus the $1.10 processor fee, earns you $2.18 a month, which is $26.16 over their first 12 payments.
The payment processor fee (5% + $0.50) comes off each payment before your commission.
Referring yourself is never credited.
