Affiliate Program
Affiliate Program For Agencies And Consultants
Our web design affiliate program pays you a share of every invoice your referrals pay us, not a one-time finder’s fee. Share your tracking link, and any recurring managed service someone signs up for inside 90 days earns you commission for months afterward.
Why agencies work with us this way
Approved, not auto-accepted
Anyone can sign up for most programs in thirty seconds. We read every application and decide.
Paid on revenue, not signups
A bounty rewards getting someone through the door. We pay a percentage of what your referral actually pays us, every month, for the length of your commission window.
No code to forget at checkout
Coupon codes only pay out when the customer remembers to type one, and referrers quietly lose sales that way all the time. Your link tags the visitor for 90 days instead.

Get startedSee all partner programsOur referral program vs a typical affiliate program
Most affiliate programs are built to recruit as many referrers as possible and pay as little as possible per conversion. This one runs the other way.
| What to compare | How it works with us |
|---|---|
| Ninety-day window vs thirty-day cookie | Most programs give you a 30-day cookie, so a prospect who takes two months to decide earns you nothing. |
| No payout threshold vs balance gates | We pay on the first of every month regardless of balance. Threshold-based programs hold your commission until you cross fifty or a hundred dollars, which for a referrer sending a few clients a year can mean waiting indefinitely. |
| Project referrals tracked vs checkout only | We record the referring partner on the lead itself. Programs built only around checkout attribution simply cannot pay you for a quoted deal. |
| Conflict rules stated vs disputed later | We say up front that self-referrals and prospects already in our pipeline do not qualify. Many programs leave this vague, then decline your commission after the sale when you have no way to check the claim. |
| Tax paperwork handled vs murky payouts | Programs that skip this leave you reconciling untracked income, or chasing a payout that never had proper records behind it. |
| Named terms vs shifting rules | Rates, windows, and disqualifiers are published before you apply and written into the agreement. Programs that keep terms behind a login can revise them after you have already built traffic around the offer. |

Talk to us
Who our affiliate program is built for
Agencies and studios with overflow work
You get asked for WordPress, hosting, or Zoho work you do not want to take on. Rather than turning it down or subcontracting it, pass it to us and earn on it.
Consultants who advise on systems
If you help businesses choose their CRM, their email setup, or their operations stack, you already influence these decisions. The program pays you for recommendations you were making anyway, without changing how you work or what you tell people.
Freelancers who do not want to manage
You build sites but do not want to be on the hook for hosting, updates, and security calls afterward. Hand the ongoing work to us, keep the relationship, and earn recurring commission instead of taking on maintenance you never wanted.
How the referral program works
1. You apply and we review it
Tell us who you reach and how you plan to share your link. We read every application rather than approving automatically, and most decisions go out within a few business days.
2. You share your link
Put it wherever your recommendations already happen: a proposal, an email, a resource page, a conversation. When someone clicks it, we tag their session for 90 days.
3. We pay you on the first
Once your referral is on a paid invoice, commission starts accruing. We pay out on the first of every month with no minimum balance, so even a single referral gets paid rather than sitting in a pending total.

Answers to common affiliate program questions
Want to see the other ways to partner with us? Each program has its own page.
How does the Cascadia referral program work?
You apply, we review your application by hand, and once you are approved we issue a personal tracking link. Share it however you normally reach people. When someone clicks it, we tag their session for 90 days. If they sign up for a recurring managed service inside that window, the referral is credited to you and commission starts on their first paid invoice.
How does tracking work if there is no coupon code?
We deliberately skipped codes. A code only pays out if the customer remembers to type it, and referrers lose credit constantly that way. Your link sets a 90-day session on our site instead. Attribution follows the visitor whether they buy on the first visit or come back three weeks later, and nothing depends on them entering anything at checkout.
What counts as a qualifying referral?
Our products, including the MCP connectors and Twilio extensions, do not. One-time project work earns commission for Tier 2 partners only. In every case the purchase has to happen inside the 90-day window that starts when your link is clicked.
When do I get paid?
We pay out on the first of every month for commission earned and cleared during the prior month. There is no minimum balance, so a single small referral gets paid rather than sitting until you reach a threshold. Commission is calculated on invoices the client has actually paid, not on signups or trials.
How long does approval take?
We review applications individually rather than approving automatically. Most decisions go out within a few business days. We are looking for referrers whose audience overlaps with the people we can genuinely help, so tell us who you reach and how you plan to share your link. You will hear back either way.
Do I earn on renewals or only the first payment?
You earn on every payment inside your commission window, not just the first. For Tier 1 that is six months of invoices starting from the client’s first paid one. For Tier 2 it is twelve months. If the client cancels partway through, commission stops with their last paid invoice.
Can I refer myself or my own company?
No. Self-referrals do not qualify, and that includes accounts for companies you own or control. The program exists to pay for customers we would not otherwise have reached. If you are already a client and want to refer other people, that is welcome. Your own subscription simply is not a commissionable referral.
Will I receive a 1099?
We request it during onboarding. Commission is income, and how you report it is between you and your accountant.
Does one-time project work really earn commission?
For Tier 2 partners, yes. Builds, migrations, and implementations earn you 10% of the project invoice once the client has paid it. Project work is usually the largest single thing an agency or consultant sends us, which is exactly why we reserved it for the tier built around that kind of referral.
How is project work tracked when there is no checkout?
Project work gets quoted rather than bought through a checkout, so the link alone will not capture it. We record the referring partner on the lead when it arrives, and that carries through to the invoice. If you are sending a project our way, have the client mention you, or introduce us directly so attribution is unambiguous.
