Affiliate program: earn 25% for 11 months

What you earn

Share your referral link. When someone signs up through it and later pays for a SitesPlaced plan, you earn 25% of what they actually pay, on every charge for their first 11 months. It is a share of real revenue, not a one-off bounty: if they pay ₹499 a month, you earn about ₹124 every month they keep paying, inside that window.

The 11 months are counted from their first commission, not from their signup. Charges after that window closes do not earn anything. Refer more people and the windows overlap, which is how the total grows.

Where your link is

1. 1Open your dashboard and press the Earn 25% button, next to Manage Plan. It opens Affiliate Earnings.
2. 2Your link is at the top. It looks like https://sitesplaced.com?r=YOURCODE. The code is yours and does not change.
3. 3Press Copy, or Share to hand it to the phone's share sheet.

The ?r= part is the whole mechanism. Any SitesPlaced page opened with it counts, so you can send someone straight to a template, a pricing page or a blog post and add ?r=YOURCODE to the end.

When a referral counts

• Someone opens any SitesPlaced page through your link. The code is stored in their browser for 30 days.
• The first link wins. If they already have a referral code stored from someone else's link, yours is not written over it.
• They create a SitesPlaced account within those 30 days. The sign-up page shows your code in a field they can check or paste. If they sign up through a pop-up box instead, the code is read from the saved link the first time they open their dashboard. Either way it is attached to their account permanently and is never re-checked or re-attributed.
• They pay for one of the eligible plans. Your commission is recorded against that charge, and again on every renewal inside the 11-month window.

A few things stop a referral from counting, and all of them are enforced in code:

• Referring yourself. Your own code on your own account is ignored.
• Someone who already has an account. The code is read when the account is created. An existing user clicking your link does not become your referral.
• Someone who is already a paying customer. They are never attached to a referrer afterwards, so nobody earns commission on a subscription they did not cause.
• Someone already referred by another person. The first attribution stands.

Every charge is recorded once and only once, even if the payment gateway sends the same notification twice, so a renewal never pays you double.

What the dashboard shows

• Referred is how many accounts were created through your link.
• Paying stores is how many of those accounts currently hold a plan that earns commission.
• Est. / month is a forward-looking guess: 25% of the monthly list price of every eligible plan those people hold, for the ones still inside their 11-month window. It is an estimate, not money you have.
• Lifetime paid is how much has actually been paid out to you.
• Pending (clearing) is commission that has been recorded but has not cleared yet.
• Withdrawable is commission that has cleared and can be paid out.
• Referred stores lists up to twenty-five of the people you referred, with a partly hidden email, a status of Paying, Signed up or Churned, and what you have earned from each of them so far.
• Payout history shows each payout you requested with its amount, date, method and status.

From earned to paid

1. 1A charge goes through, and your commission is recorded as Pending.
2. 2After 14 days it clears and moves to Withdrawable, but only while the person you referred still holds a paid plan. The hold covers the refund and chargeback window.
3. 3Once Withdrawable is at least ₹500, the Request payout button turns on.
4. 4Choose UPI (a UPI ID such as name@bank) or Bank transfer (account number and IFSC) and press Request. Those details are encrypted before they are stored.
5. 5The payout is paid by hand by the SitesPlaced team, who record a transaction reference against it. Your payout then shows as paid and Lifetime paid grows.

Two things to know about the request itself. It takes your whole withdrawable balance; you cannot ask for part of it. And you can only have one payout open at a time, so the button says *Payout in progress* until the current one is settled or cancelled. If a payout is cancelled or fails, the commission goes back to withdrawable and you can request it again.

What cancels a commission

• A refund or a chargeback. The commission for that exact charge is reversed and taken out of your balance. This works on commission that is still pending or withdrawable. If it has already been reserved for a payout or paid to you, it has to be sorted out by hand.
• The 11-month window closing. Later renewals by the same customer simply do not record anything new.
• Them stopping paying. Anything still pending stops clearing while they are off a paid plan. Nothing already paid to you is taken back.
