We charge a 12% platform fee on what the marketplace bills. For twelve months, 20% of the fee we collect from an account you introduced is yours — about 2.4 cents on every dollar they spend or sell. Not a bounty for a sign-up: a share of money we were actually paid.
Which is the honest reason it can be offered at all. A flat bounty is a bet on retention placed with money we do not have; a share of the fee cannot cost more than it earned, in any scenario, including the ones nobody planned for.
| They spend or sell | Our fee, 12% | Your 20% of it | We keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| $0 — installed two free servers | $0 | $0 | $0 |
| $50 a month | $6.00 | $1.20 | $4.80 |
| $2,000 a month — a publisher selling well | $240.00 | $48.00 | $192.00 |
They sign up through your link, install what they came for and are billed for it. Our 12% comes out of that bill, and 20% of it accrues to you every cycle for twelve months — credited to your account balance as it clears, and the balance is what the next invoice is taken from before your card is touched.
Free and open-source listings earn nobody anything: we take no fee on them, so there is no fee to share.
They list through your link and start selling. Our 12% comes out of their sales, and 20% of it is yours for twelve months. It clears the 30-day refund window and is then held as cleared and owed to you: a referral share is not written to the ledger the weekly payout run reads, so nothing leaves until the payout side can carry it.
This is the side where the programme pays properly: a publisher doing $2,000 a month is $48 a month to whoever introduced them.
The dashboard and the studio both show this ladder against every account you sent, with what they spent, what we took and what came to you on the same row. It is the rule, written as a status rather than as a paragraph.
| State | What it means |
|---|---|
| Signed up | The account exists and has paid us nothing. Most referrals sit here for good, and nothing is owed on them — which is the reason this programme can exist at all. |
| Earning | They are paying, so 20% of the fee we collect from them is accruing to you, cycle by cycle. |
| Holding | Accrued and waiting out the 30-day refund and chargeback window on the payments that produced it. |
| Paid | Cleared and credited or paid out. |
| Term ended | The 12 months are up. They stay our customer; the share stops. |
| Void | The money came back — refunded or charged back — so the share taken from it went back with it. |
| Not this | Why |
|---|---|
| Your own accounts | Matched on card, bank and tax id before anything is paid. A second account of your own is not a referral. |
| A refunded payment | The share taken from its fee goes back with it. If the money leaves us, it leaves you. |
| A free or open-source listing | We take no fee on one, so there is no fee to give you a share of. |
| Paid traffic on our name | Bidding on “mcprush” or a listing’s name disqualifies the account. Write something worth reading instead. |
There is no cookie race and no last-click rule: the tag is read once, when the account is created, and it belongs to that account for good. If two links brought the same person here, the first one is the one that counts.
Buyers find it under Refer in the dashboard, publishers under Refer in the studio. Same 20% of the same 12%, same twelve months, same thirty-day hold.
