Is it free to join?
Yes. There's no cost and no minimum following. Apply through Lemon Squeezy; applications are reviewed before approval.
How much can I earn? Is there a cap?
Your gross commission is 30% ($10.5) on every refern license bought through your link, with no earning cap. Lemon Squeezy deducts its affiliate fee and any applicable payout-provider fees.
How long does tracking last?
60 days. If someone visits through your link and buys within that window, the sale is credited to you under our first-referrer setting.
When and how do I get paid?
Lemon Squeezy pays approved referrals through PayPal or bank transfer. Commissions have a 30-day holding period and pay out twice monthly after your balance reaches $10.
Do I need to use refern myself?
No, but the best affiliates know the product. Grab the free 30-day trial so you can speak to it honestly.
Do I need a big audience?
No follower minimum. A small, trusting audience of designers often converts better than a huge general one.
