Recruit other affiliates and earn referral commission

How referral commission works

When a seller enables referral commission for their program, you can recruit other affiliates into that specific program. For every sale a person you recruited closes there, you receive an additional small commission on top, typically in the range of 1 to 5 percent.

Note: Referral commission is paid by the seller as an additional payout. It does not reduce the commission of the person you recruited, and it does not come out of your own commission.

Important: the relationship is per program. If you recruit someone for program X and that person later also joins program Y, you only earn on their sales in program X.

Share your referral link

1. In the Affiliate Hub, open Programs.
2. Find the program you want to recruit someone for.
3. In the Referral link column, click Copy referral link. If the button is missing, the program does not offer referral commission.
4. Share the link with the person you want to recruit.

The link takes the recruited person to the program’s join page. If they do not have a Tentary account yet, they create one first. If they join the program within 90 days of the click, you are automatically recorded as their referrer.

Where to see your referrals and earnings

• Programs: At the bottom of the page, the Affiliates you referred section lists everyone you recruited and which programs you recruited them for.
• Sales: The Referral sales section shows all sales where you earn as a referrer, including the person who actually closed each sale.
• Dashboard: Referral sales are included in the total commission figures at the top.

Frequently asked questions

Does the referral commission reduce the recruited person’s commission?

No. The recruited person receives their full regular commission. The referral commission is an additional payout from the seller.

What happens when the person I recruited joins a different program?

You earn nothing there. The link only applies to the program you originally recruited them for. If you want to earn on a different program too, you have to recruit them again separately through that program’s referral link.

Do I also earn when the person I recruited buys something themselves?

No. Referral commission is only paid for actual affiliate sales the recruited person makes, not for their own purchases.

When do I receive the referral commission?

The same payout schedule as your regular commission. The respective seller decides when and how payouts happen.

Who decides whether a program offers referral commission?

Each seller. You can tell on the Programs page by whether the Referral link column shows a Copy referral link button.

How much is the referral commission?

Each seller sets this themselves, usually 1 to 5 percent or a small fixed amount per sale. You don’t see the exact value directly, but you can see the actual amount in your referral sales.
