How to join the affiliate program

The NextShopper Affiliate program lets signed-in clients earn commission when new customers register or check out through your unique referral link. Commission is a percent of the invoice subtotal (not tax), stays Pending for a holding period, then becomes Available for payout. You cannot refer yourself.

This guide covers enrollment from Affiliates, reading stats, and what happens after Get my link.

Pending never moves	Wait holding period; confirm referred invoices stayed paid
Cannot find Affiliates	Sidebar Billing group; desktop vs mobile menu
Wrong expectations on tax	Commission excludes tax by design
