Your Affiliate Income
Three tiers
Start at 30%. The rate climbs when cooks pay.
Your cut is a percent of what they actually paid, the amount on their receipt. Recommend Recipe One to people who save recipes from blogs, videos, screenshots, and notes.
Starter

You start here
Default when we approve you. Everyone starts here.
Growth
40%
10 paying referrals in any rolling 90-day window.
Elite
50%
50 paying referrals over your lifetime, or we invite you.
A cook who pays $39.99 for the year is about $12, $16, or $20 to you, depending on your tier, and again each year they renew.
While they keep paying
You earn on every payment: intro price, full price, and renewals. If they cancel, that payout pauses. If they pay again, you earn on that payment too.
60-day window
Readers who click your link can browse the site first. Their referral can still be remembered for 60 days.
PayPal, $50 minimum
Payouts go out by PayPal around the 15th for the previous month, once your approved balance reaches $50. A smaller balance rolls to the next month.
Tracked in Appstack
We match clicks and purchases in Appstack, then take refunds and chargebacks off before the payout.

FAQ
The details creators ask about
What counts as a paying referral?
Someone who comes through your approved link and actually pays within 60 days. A trial that converts counts. So does a subscription they buy outright. Installs and free-trial starts do not. We match that in Appstack. If no approved affiliate is attached, nobody gets credit.
How do I move from Starter to Growth or Elite?
You start at Starter, 30%, when we approve you. Growth, 40%, unlocks on its own after 10 paying referrals in any rolling 90-day window. Elite, 50%, unlocks after 50 paying referrals in your lifetime, or if we invite you. The new rate applies to payments after you unlock it.
How much will I earn per customer?
Your cut is a percent of what they actually paid. Prices change by country. A $39.99 yearly subscription is about $12 at Starter, $16 at Growth, or $20 at Elite, before refund adjustments, and again each year they renew.
Do intro prices and discounts count?
Yes. You get your percent of that cheaper payment, then your percent of the full renewal if they stay subscribed.
What happens after a refund?
Refunded, charged back, or cancelled payments come off the payable balance before monthly payouts.
Do I need to disclose the link?
Yes. Use a clear affiliate disclosure such as: "I may earn a commission if you subscribe through this link."
Is there a dashboard?
Not yet. Early partners receive manual payout summaries while the program is still private.
