Affiliate Program — earn 50% recurring commission for 12 months
In short: The Admaxxer affiliate program pays you 50% of the net revenue Admaxxer collects from every customer you refer, on each payment they make for their first 12 months. It's single-sided (your referrals don't get a discount), there's no cap on referrals, and it's free to join — any account qualifies, including free ones. Anyone who clicks your link and signs up within 60 days is attributed to you; you're paid once they become a paying subscriber, with a 45-day clearance hold and a $100 minimum payout via Wise or bank transfer.
Your referral link looks like https://admaxxer.com/?ref=YOURCODE, and your live dashboard lives at admaxxer.com/affiliate. This page is the full reference; the headline pitch is on the affiliate program page and the binding rules are in the affiliate program terms.

How much you earn
Commission is 50% of net revenue — each payment minus payment-processing fees (and net of taxes, discounts, and refunds) — not 50% of the list price, so the real figure lands just under half the sticker. There's no cap on how many customers you can refer, and each referral has its own 12-month earning window.
| You refer | On plan | Per referral | You earn / month | Over 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 brand | Growth ($29/mo) | $14/mo each | $14/mo | $167 / year |
| 10 brands | Pro ($79/mo) | $38/mo each | $382/mo | $4,585 / year |
| 5 brands | Scale ($199/mo) | $96/mo each | $482/mo | $5,788 / year |
Illustrative. Your commission is 50% of net revenue — each payment minus payment-processing fees (≈2.9% + $0.30) — so the real figure is slightly under half the list price. Assumes referrals stay subscribed for the full 12-month window. Your dashboard shows the gross amount, net amount, and your commission for every payment.
Overview
The Admaxxer affiliate program lets anyone with an account earn recurring commission for referring new paying customers. It's single-sided: you earn 50% of the net revenue we collect from each customer you refer, on every payment they make for their first 12 months. There's no cap on referrals, no traffic minimum, and it's free to join — free (non-paying) accounts qualify too. The headline pitch lives at /affiliates and the program terms at /affiliate-terms.
Eligibility & getting started
Open to individuals and businesses (18+) who can enter a binding agreement — agencies, freelancers, consultants, creators, newsletter operators, and existing Admaxxer customers. You do NOT need a paid plan; a free account is enough to earn and to request payouts. Joining is instant and self-serve: create a free account (Google, magic-link, or Apple), then open your affiliate dashboard at admaxxer.com/affiliate — your link works right away. We may remove an affiliate at our discretion for conduct that conflicts with the terms.
Your referral link & custom code
Your link is shown at the top of your dashboard with a one-click Copy button, in the form https://admaxxer.com/?ref=YOURCODE. A short lowercase code is generated automatically the first time you open the dashboard. You can set a custom/vanity code instead — lowercase letters and numbers, 4 to 20 characters; if it's already taken you'll be asked to pick another. Example: a creator might set "?ref=growthwithjo" and share admaxxer.com/?ref=growthwithjo in their newsletter and video descriptions.
How attribution works (the 60-day window)
When someone clicks your link, we set a first-party cookie on their browser that lasts 60 days, and we count the click on your dashboard. If they create a brand-new account through your link within 60 days of clicking — including across the Google/Apple/magic-link signup step — the referral is credited to you. Three rules to know: (1) attribution is tied to the browser/device where the click happened (we don't match across devices, so a phone click + laptop signup won't credit); (2) a user can only ever be attributed to one referrer; (3) attribution happens only at a new account's first signup — existing accounts can't be claimed later. Example: a reader clicks your link today and starts a trial 3 weeks later on the same browser — that's credited; if they instead sign up 3 months later with no new click, it isn't.
What you earn (50% of net, for 12 months)
You earn 50% of net revenue on each qualifying payment. "Net" means your referral's payment minus payment-processing fees (and net of any taxes, discounts/credits, or refunds) — not the list price. Because the processor takes roughly 2.9% + $0.30 per payment first, your commission is slightly under half the sticker. Worked example: on a $79 Pro payment, net ≈ $76.41, so your commission ≈ $38.21. You earn only on paid subscription payments — clicks, free signups, and trials earn $0. The 12-month window starts at the FIRST payment and runs on calendar time; payments after month 12 aren't commissionable. Upgrades/downgrades: your commission tracks the net of whatever they actually pay. Annual: a single annual charge yields one 50%-of-net lump. Pause/skip: that cycle earns nothing and the clock keeps running. No cap on referrals — each has its own window.
Tracking it in your dashboard
The dashboard (admaxxer.com/affiliate) shows, in real time: total clicks, people referred, active (paying) referrals, and your balance broken into Available (withdrawable now), On hold (approved but still inside the 45-day hold), Reserved (tied up in a payout you've requested), and Pending review. A per-payment list shows each referral's masked email (e.g. jo***@gmail.com — you never see full personal data), the gross amount, the net amount, your commission, the commission month (1–12), and the status.
Commission status lifecycle
Each commission moves through: Under review — accrued from a real payment, awaiting our approval; Cleared — approved AND past the 45-day hold, now counting toward your withdrawable Available balance; Paid — included in a payout we've sent. Two off-ramps: Rejected — disallowed (e.g. a self-referral or failed check); Refunded — the underlying payment was reversed, so the commission was clawed back. Becoming withdrawable requires BOTH approval and the elapsed 45-day hold, so a commission can be past 45 days yet still Under review until approved.
The 45-day hold & refund clawbacks
Commission is only paid on revenue we keep. Each commission is held for 45 days after the payment, which covers the refund/chargeback window — so the Available balance is money you can count on. If a referral refunds or charges back before payout, the commission is clawed back from your balance (and offset against future commission if it exceeds your current balance). Commission that has already been paid out to you is NOT automatically reversed; a post-payout reversal is a rare case we handle manually. Ordinary cancellation (churn) is not a clawback — you keep everything already cleared and simply stop earning new commission.
Getting paid: minimum, methods & timing
Once your Available balance reaches the $100 minimum and you've saved a payout method, you request a payout from the dashboard — payouts are pull-based, not automatic. Requesting reserves the eligible commissions (they leave Available) so they can't be double-spent. We pay via Wise (your Wise email) or bank transfer (account holder, country, and an IBAN or local account number; optional bank name, SWIFT/BIC, US routing), typically within 10 business days on our regular (≈monthly) run. Wise transfers usually land within a couple of business days of being sent; bank/SWIFT can take longer internationally. Commissions and the $100 minimum are in USD; payouts are sent in USD. Admaxxer covers the standard Wise/domestic-bank fee; international intermediary/recipient-bank fees on your side are your responsibility. Balances under $100 roll over and never expire; cleared commission earned inside the window stays payable even if it crosses $100 after the window ends. Update your payout details before requesting — they're snapshotted at request time; if a transfer fails, the reserved funds return to Available so you can fix the details and retry.
Taxes
You're responsible for any taxes owed on commission you earn; we don't withhold. For US affiliates earning $600 or more in a calendar year we'll request a W-9 and may issue a Form 1099-NEC; we may request a W-8BEN/W-8BEN-E from non-US affiliates to certify foreign status. We may hold a payout until required tax documentation is provided.
Promotion rules (what's allowed and what isn't)
Promote in newsletters, video descriptions, client proposals, comparison/editorial posts, and agency stack pages — and disclose the affiliate relationship wherever required by law (e.g. the FTC Endorsement Guides). Prohibited: bidding on Admaxxer trademarks in paid search; impersonating Admaxxer or implying official endorsement; using a display URL that mimics admaxxer.com or direct-linking your raw referral URL as an ad's final URL (send paid traffic to your own content/landing page instead); self-referrals or referring accounts you control; fake/incentivized signups, cookie-stuffing, forced clicks, and bots; spam or misleading claims; fake "discount code" listings (the program is single-sided — there's no code to advertise); and cookie-stuffing or last-click-injection browser extensions. Non-brand paid search and honest deal/comparison content are allowed within these rules.
Program changes & contact
We may modify, suspend, or terminate the program or terms at any time; material changes are communicated to active affiliates and apply going forward — commission already earned under the prior terms is honored. On leaving (for reasons other than prohibited conduct), earned-and-cleared commission remains payable subject to the $100 minimum; commission tied to prohibited conduct is forfeited.

Frequently asked questions
- How much can I earn, and is there a cap?
- You earn 50% of the net revenue Admaxxer collects from each customer you refer, on every payment they make for their first 12 months. There's no cap on how many customers you can refer. As a rough guide: one brand on the $29 Growth plan earns about $14/month; ten brands on the $79 Pro plan earn roughly $382/month (~$4,585 over the year); five brands on the $199 Scale plan earn around $482/month. These figures are illustrative, computed on net-of-fee revenue, and assume your referrals stay subscribed for the full window.
- Is it 50% of the price my referral pays, or 50% of what's left after fees?
- It's 50% of net revenue — your referral's payment minus payment-processing fees (and net of any taxes, discounts/credits, or refunded amounts), not 50% of the list price. The processor takes roughly 2.9% + $0.30 off each payment first, so on a $79 Pro payment your commission is about $38.21. Your dashboard shows the gross amount, the net amount, and your commission side by side for every payment, so you can always see exactly how it was calculated.
- Is the commission really recurring, or a one-time bounty?
- It's genuinely recurring. Unlike programs that pay a flat bounty on the first invoice, Admaxxer pays you 50% of net on every qualifying payment your referral makes for a full 12 months. As long as they stay subscribed within that window, you keep earning each billing cycle.
- Does the 12-month window start at signup or at their first payment?
- At their first paid payment — not at signup and not when their trial starts. From that first payment you earn for 12 calendar months on every qualifying payment. Payments after the 12-month mark aren't commissionable, even if the customer stays subscribed for years.
- What exactly do I get paid for — a click, a signup, a free trial, or a paid subscription?
- You earn only when a referred person becomes a paying subscriber. The chain is: they click your link (tracked), sign up through it within 60 days (attributed), then make a real subscription payment (commissionable). Clicks, free signups, and trials show up on your dashboard but earn $0 until that first paid invoice.
- If someone clicks my link but signs up later, do I still get credit? How long does tracking last?
- Yes, within 60 days. Clicking your link sets a first-party cookie on that browser for 60 days, so any signup within 60 days of the click is credited to you — even weeks later — and it survives the Google/Apple/magic-link signup step. A signup more than 60 days after the click (with no newer click) isn't attributed.
- What if they click on their phone but sign up on their laptop?
- Attribution is tied to the browser and device where the link was clicked, because it relies on a first-party cookie set there. If someone clicks on one device and finishes signing up in a different browser or on a different device, the referral won't be credited — we don't currently match across devices. Encourage people to click and complete signup on the same device and browser.
- Can existing Admaxxer users count as my referral?
- No. The program rewards genuinely new customers. Attribution is captured only when a brand-new account is created through your link within the 60-day window, and a given user can only ever be attributed to one referrer. If someone already has an Admaxxer account, clicking your link later won't make them your referral.
- Do I have to be a paying Admaxxer customer to be an affiliate?
- No. Anyone with an Admaxxer account can be an affiliate, including free (non-paying) users — you don't need a paid plan to earn or to request payouts. Joining is instant and self-serve: create an account and your referral link works immediately. It's free to join, with no traffic minimum, and open to agencies, freelancers, consultants, creators, newsletter operators, and existing customers. We may remove an affiliate for conduct that breaches the terms, and all commissions are reviewed before payout.
- Where do I find my referral link after I join, and what does it look like?
- Join free, then open your affiliate dashboard at admaxxer.com/affiliate. Your link is shown at the top with a one-click Copy button, in the form https://admaxxer.com/?ref=YOURCODE. The code is generated automatically the first time you open the dashboard. Any account — including a free one — can access it.
- Can I customize my referral code?
- Yes. In your dashboard you can set a custom code (lowercase letters and numbers, 4 to 20 characters). If the one you want is already taken, you'll be asked to choose another, and your link updates accordingly.
- Where do I track my clicks, signups, and earnings?
- In your affiliate dashboard at admaxxer.com/affiliate. It shows, in real time, your total clicks, the number of people you've referred and how many are active paying customers, and your commission split into Available (withdrawable), On hold, Reserved, and Pending review — plus a per-payment list with each referral's masked email, the gross and net amounts, your commission, and its status.
- What do the commission statuses mean, and which can I withdraw?
- Each commission moves: Under review (accrued from a real payment, awaiting our approval) → Cleared (approved AND past the 45-day hold — withdrawable) → Paid (sent to you in a payout). You may also see Rejected (disallowed, e.g. a self-referral) or Refunded (the customer's payment was reversed, so it was clawed back). Only your Cleared/Available balance counts toward the $100 minimum.
- When does a commission actually become withdrawable?
- Two things must both be true: we've approved the commission, and the 45-day hold from the payment date has elapsed (that hold covers the refund/chargeback window). So a commission can be past 45 days but still "Under review" until it's approved. Your dashboard separates Pending review, On hold (approved but still inside 45 days), Available (approved + past the hold = withdrawable now), and Reserved (tied up in a payout you've already requested).
- When and how do I get paid, and what's the $100 minimum about?
- Once your cleared (Available) balance reaches the $100 minimum and you've saved a payout method, you request a payout from your dashboard and we send it via Wise (to your Wise email) or bank transfer, typically within 10 business days on our regular (≈monthly) run. Requesting reserves those commissions so they can't be double-spent. The $100 floor keeps transfer fees from eating small payouts; anything under $100 rolls over and is never forfeited for being below the threshold. Payouts are pull-based — you request them, they aren't automatic.
- What information do I need to provide to get paid, and what currency am I paid in?
- For Wise: the email address on your Wise account. For bank transfer: the account-holder name, country, and either an IBAN or a local account number (optionally bank name, SWIFT/BIC, and US routing number). You enter these in your dashboard's payout-method card. Commissions and the $100 minimum are in USD and payouts are sent in USD; if your account is in another currency, Wise or your bank converts at their rate (Wise usually gives better FX).
- Who pays the Wise or bank transfer fee?
- Admaxxer covers the standard Wise or domestic-bank transfer fee, so you receive your full cleared balance. For international bank/SWIFT transfers, intermediary- or recipient-bank fees charged on your side may be deducted by your own bank and are your responsibility — using Wise is recommended to minimize these.
- What happens to my commission if a referral refunds, churns, or charges back?
- Commission is only paid on revenue Admaxxer keeps. If a referred customer is refunded or charges back, the related commission is clawed back from your balance (and offset against future commission if it exceeds your current balance) — UNLESS it has already been paid out to you, in which case it isn't automatically reversed. The 45-day hold exists so that almost all reversals surface before payout. If a customer simply cancels (churns), you keep everything already cleared and just stop earning new commission from them.
- What if my referral pays annually, or pauses a billing cycle?
- Commission accrues per actual payment. An annual charge generates one commission of 50% of its net, paid as a lump — and because it lands at the start of the window the full annual amount is commissionable; a year-2 annual renewal falls outside the 12-month window and earns nothing. If a referral pauses or skips a cycle, that cycle simply earns nothing while the 12-month clock keeps running on calendar time; resumed payments inside the window earn again.
- Can I refer myself, my own company, or offer people a kickback to sign up?
- No. Self-referrals, referring any account you own or control, fake or incentivized signups, cookie-stuffing, forced clicks, bots, and offering unauthorized rebates or coupons in the program's name are all prohibited — affected commission is reversed and you may be removed. The program is single-sided, so there's no official discount to give your referrals; the product's value is the pitch. (Referring a genuine client whose account you don't control is fine.)
- Can I run paid ads or bid on Admaxxer keywords?
- You may not bid on Admaxxer trademarks (the name and close variants) in paid search, and you may not impersonate Admaxxer or imply official endorsement. Other paid and organic channels are allowed, provided you send traffic to your own content/landing page rather than direct-linking your raw referral URL, don't use a display URL that mimics admaxxer.com, disclose the affiliate relationship where required (e.g. FTC guidelines), and follow each network's policies.
- Can I promote via a coupon, cashback, or browser-extension channel?
- Because the program is single-sided there's no Admaxxer coupon to offer, so publishing fake "Admaxxer discount code" content is prohibited as misleading, as are cookie-stuffing or last-click-injection browser extensions. Honest editorial, comparison, and deal pages that accurately describe the program (without inventing a discount, and with proper disclosure) are welcome.
- Do my referrals get a discount?
- No — the program is single-sided. You earn the commission, and your referrals pay Admaxxer's standard published pricing with the normal free trial. There's no referred-user coupon, so you can't advertise an Admaxxer discount code. The value of the product is what closes the sale.
- Will I need tax forms (W-9 / W-8BEN), and how are taxes handled?
- You're responsible for any taxes owed on the commission you earn, and we don't withhold tax. For US-based affiliates who earn $600 or more in a calendar year we'll request a W-9 and may issue a Form 1099-NEC; we may request a W-8BEN/W-8BEN-E from non-US affiliates to certify foreign status. We may hold a payout until required tax documentation is provided.
- Can the company change the rate or end the program after I've joined, and does my balance expire?
- We may modify, suspend, or terminate the program or terms at any time; material changes are communicated to active affiliates and apply going forward, not retroactively — commission you've already earned under the prior terms is honored. Cleared commission never expires: it rolls over until you reach the $100 minimum and request it. The only ways commission is lost are a clawback on a refund/chargeback or forfeiture tied to prohibited conduct — not inactivity.
