--- title: "Affiliates" description: "Earn commission by referring customers to CubePath: your referral link, how commissions accrue, the one-year period, and payouts." category: "Billing" language: en source: https://cubepath.com/docs/products/billing/affiliates updated: 2026-08-04 --- # Affiliates Open the **Affiliates** page in [my.cubepath.com](https://my.cubepath.com) to earn commission by referring new customers to CubePath. ## Getting started If you're not an affiliate yet, the page shows **Activate Affiliate**. Click it and your affiliate account is activated instantly — no approval wait. ## Your referral link Once active, the **Your Affiliate Code** card shows your **Commission Rate** (a percentage) and your **Referral Credit** (the welcome credit your referrals receive). Copy your unique **Referral URL** with **Copy URL** and share it. ## How it works ```steps ### Share your link Send your unique referral URL to potential customers. ### They sign up with your code New users register through the link and receive a welcome credit. ### They make their first payment The welcome credit is applied to their account. ### You earn commission A commission accrues to you on all their payments, automatically. ``` > Note: The **commission period** is one year. You earn on every payment a referral makes during their first year; after one year from their first payment, commissions stop for that referral. That shape rewards referring customers who stay and grow rather than one-off signups — a referral whose usage increases over their first year is worth considerably more than one that churns in month two. ## Stats and balance Three cards summarize your activity: - **Total Referrals** — the total count, plus how many are active and pending. - **Total Earnings** — all-time commission earned. - **Available Balance** — what you can withdraw, with the amount already withdrawn shown below. The **Recent Referrals** table lists each referral's email, status, registration date, total spent and commission earned. > Note: A referral shows as **pending** until their first payment. Signups alone don't earn commission — the credit has to be used. ## Payouts When your **Available Balance** is above zero, an **Open Withdrawal Request** button appears. It opens a sales ticket; contact the team there to request your withdrawal. > Tip: Put your referral link where it's seen repeatedly rather than announced once — a footer, a documentation page, an email signature. Affiliate revenue comes from steady exposure, not from a single post.
