What is the Affiliate Program?
The AWSYS.CO affiliate program lets you earn commissions by promoting AWSYS.CO to your audience. You receive a unique referral link; when someone signs up through your link and upgrades to a paid plan, you earn a commission. Two commission models are available: CPC (cost-per-click, where you earn a small amount per tracked click on your referral link) and CPA (cost-per-acquisition, where you earn a larger payout when a referred user converts to a paid plan).
Requirements
Affiliate program participation requires a Pro or Builder plan. You must accept the affiliate terms before creating your first program. Commission payments are processed monthly to the payout method configured in Settings.
Step-by-step: Join and set up the affiliate program
- Go to Settings → Affiliate Program and click Join Program.
- Read and accept the affiliate terms.
- Choose your commission type: CPC, CPA (return), or both. CPC earns a fixed amount per referral link click; CPA earns when a referred user completes a paid subscription.
- Set your CPC rate (between $0.01 and $10.00 per click) and/or your CPA rate (between $1.00 and $100.00 per conversion).
- Your unique referral link is shown in the affiliate dashboard — share it in your blog posts, YouTube descriptions, newsletters, or social profiles.
- Track referral clicks, conversions, and earned commissions in the Affiliate Dashboard. Commissions are paid out monthly, provided your balance meets the minimum payout threshold ($25).

Common questions
When are commissions paid out?
Commissions are paid once per month, on the 15th, for balances that met or exceeded the $25 minimum threshold by the last day of the previous month. Payments are made to the payout method configured in Settings → Affiliate → Payout.
What happens to commissions if a referred user cancels their subscription?
For CPA commissions, if a referred user cancels within 30 days (within their first billing cycle), the commission is reversed. After 30 days the commission is locked and paid out normally.
Can I use the API to manage affiliate programs?
Yes. The affiliate program commission type and rates can be managed via the API. Use POST /api/affiliate to create a program and PATCH /api/affiliate/:id to update settings.
Can I create multiple affiliate programs?
Each account can have one active affiliate program at a time. You can update the commission type and rates, or deactivate the program and create a new one.
