30% of the first purchase

The terms

Commission30% of the first purchase

On every licence tier, including the regional prices — a sale into a discounted country pays 30% of what was actually charged, not 30% of list. Credit packs and renewals are excluded; they are follow-on purchases from customers you already earned.

Attribution window60 days

Last click wins. Sixty days rather than thirty because a one-time developer-tool licence is frequently a considered purchase that waits for a project to start.

Not recurringBy design, not by omission

Pro, Studio and Enterprise are one-time licences — there is no second payment to take a percentage of. Only Team is a subscription, and it pays the same 30% on its first term.

PayoutAfter the refund window closes

Commission is held until the purchase is past the refund period in the refund policy, then paid. A commission paid on a refunded sale has to be clawed back, which is a worse conversation than waiting.

Self-referralsNot eligible

Using your own link to take 30% off your own licence is a discount code with extra steps. If you want a lower price, the regional pricing and the student discount are both real and neither needs a workaround.

What ends the arrangement

Four things, and they are specific rather than a paragraph about acting professionally. The first two take money for traffic that was already ours; the last two put statements under our name that we cannot stand behind.

• Bidding on the brand name, or close variants of it, in paid search.
• Coupon and deal sites that intercept a visitor who was already checking out.
• Claims we do not make ourselves — counts, customers, endorsements, benchmarks. Everything on this site is sourced, and a review that invents a number invents it in our name.
• Presenting the catalog as your own work, or a review as independent while the link is an affiliate one. Disclose it; most jurisdictions require it and readers spot it anyway.
