Affiliate program
Earn 30 % of each subscription payment for a customer's first 12 months: your link, tracking, commissions, payouts and the rules.
Recommend Rankfender and earn a commission on the subscriptions you bring. Joining is free, you get your link right away, and you don't need a Rankfender plan.
Join
- Open "Affiliate program" in the account menu at the bottom left. Without a Rankfender account, sign up with your email on the affiliate page of the app: you land on it, not on the project setup.
- Read the terms on the card "Earn money by recommending Rankfender", tick "I accept the Affiliate Terms" and click "Get my affiliate link".
- Add your "Payout details": we can't send your commission until we know where to pay it.
Commission and payouts
| Term | Value |
|---|---|
| Commission | 30 % of each subscription payment, excluding VAT, for the customer's first 12 months |
| Tracking | 90 days after someone clicks your link |
| Hold | 45 days per commission, then it is ready for payout |
| Minimum payout | €50, paid monthly |
| Paid by | PayPal or bank transfer |
These are the program's current terms; the affiliate page always shows the ones that apply to you. Credit packs and backlink plans earn no commission.
Your link
- "Your affiliate link" is a short rankfender.com address with "Copy". Anyone who creates an account through it and subscribes earns you commission.
- "Edit link" changes its name: 3 to 32 characters, lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens. Links you already shared keep working; you can have up to 10 names.
- "Link to a specific page" builds a link to another rankfender.com page, such as Pricing, Features or the free AI visibility checker. You can also add ?via= and your link name to the address of any rankfender.com page.
- Tell your audience that it is an affiliate link, and add rel="sponsored" when you publish it on a website.
What the page shows
- "Clicks, last 30 days" (with the total), "Accounts created" through your link and "Paying customers".
- "Your balance", per currency: "On hold", "Ready for payout" and "Paid to you".
- "Commissions": each payment excluding VAT, the rate, your commission and its status (on hold until a date, ready for payout, paid or cancelled). "Payouts" lists what was sent to you.
- "Accounts from your link": when each account was created and its first payment. Customers stay anonymous to protect their privacy.
What counts
- Only a new account counts: created through your link, less than 14 days old when it is linked to you, and not yet a paying customer.
- Your own account never counts, even with another address of the same mailbox.
- The last link clicked wins. When the visitor accepts marketing cookies, your link is remembered for 90 days; when they refuse them, only for that visit, so you get credit only if they sign up before closing the tab.
Getting paid
Each commission waits 45 days, then moves to "Ready for payout". Payouts are made monthly once your balance reaches the minimum, to the PayPal email or the IBAN and BIC in your payout details, with the name and, if you have one, the VAT or tax number you entered.
Note
If your affiliate account is suspended, your link stops earning commission: write to partners@rankfender.com. Joined without a project? "Use Rankfender for my own site", at the top of the affiliate page, opens the project setup. Choosing a plan: Plans.
