How do PostSnag affiliate commissions work?

PostSnag affiliate commissions work on a single, simple structure: you earn 30% of every payment a referred customer makes, for as long as their subscription stays active, tracked through a 30-day cookie set the moment someone clicks your link.

That means a referral isn't a one-time payday. As long as the person you referred keeps paying for Pro, or paid once for Lifetime, you keep earning your share of it. Here's exactly how the rate, the cookie, and the payout math work.

The commission rate: 30%, recurring

Every sale that comes through your tracked link pays you 30% of what PostSnag collects from that customer, for as long as their subscription stays active. This applies the same way to both plans:

• Pro is a monthly subscription, so your 30% recurs every month the customer stays subscribed.

• Lifetime is a one-time purchase, so your 30% pays out once, the moment the sale clears.

Anderro, the platform PostSnag's program runs on, only supports this kind of percentage-based commission. There's no separate bonus tier, no per-click payout, and no milestone bonus stacked on top. The rate is 30% on every qualifying sale.

The 30-day cookie window

When someone clicks your affiliate link, Anderro drops a cookie in their browser that credits any resulting subscription back to you for 30 days. A few things follow from that:

• If they subscribe the same day they click, you get credit.

• If they subscribe on day 29, you still get credit.

• If they subscribe on day 31 or later, without clicking your link again first, the referral may no longer be attributed to you.

• If someone clicks your link, doesn't buy right away, and comes back later within the 30-day window, the sale still counts as yours.

You don't need to do anything to activate the cookie beyond getting someone to click your actual link. There's no manual code entry or promo code for a customer to remember.

What a referral is worth

At PostSnag's current prices, here's what 30% works out to:

• A Pro referral pays you about $5.70 a month (30% of the $19/month price). Someone who stays subscribed for a full year is worth roughly $68.40 to you across that year, and it keeps paying out for as long as they remain a customer.

• A Lifetime referral pays you $41.70 once (30% of the $139 one-time price), paid a single time since Lifetime itself is a single payment.

Because Pro commissions recur, a single Pro referral can end up worth more than a Lifetime referral over time. Seven monthly payments at $5.70 add up to $39.90, just under what a Lifetime referral pays in one shot. An eighth month of that subscriber staying active puts your running total past $41.70, and every month after that is additional earnings a Lifetime referral could never match.

What happens if your referral cancels or gets a refund

Because Pro commissions are tied to an active subscription, they stop when the subscription does.

• If a Pro referral cancels, you stop earning on that referral going forward. You keep whatever you already earned and were paid for the months they were subscribed.

• If a referral requests PostSnag's 14-day money-back guarantee on their first payment, the commission tied to that sale does not clear, since the sale itself gets reversed. This is part of why commissions sit in a hold period before they're payable; see How and when do affiliates get paid? for how that works.

• Lifetime purchases don't recur or renew, so there's no ongoing commission to lose after the initial sale clears, just as there's no ongoing charge to the customer.

How referrals are tracked

Anderro handles all tracking and attribution behind your link automatically. You don't tag URLs manually, generate promo codes, or do anything beyond sharing your link wherever you'd naturally recommend PostSnag. New commissions show up in your Anderro dashboard as they're generated, first as pending, then as payable once they clear the hold period.

Common questions

Is the 30% commission a one-time bonus, or does it recur?
It recurs on Pro referrals. You earn 30% of every payment your referral makes for as long as their subscription stays active, not just the first one. Lifetime referrals pay 30% once, since Lifetime itself is a single payment.

What happens if someone clicks my link but doesn't subscribe for 25 days?
You still get credit, as long as they subscribe within the 30-day cookie window measured from their click.

Do I earn 30% on both Pro and Lifetime referrals?
Yes, the rate is identical. Pro pays out monthly and recurs for as long as the subscription lasts; Lifetime pays out once as a larger single amount.

Which is worth more, a Pro referral or a Lifetime referral?
It depends how long the Pro subscriber stays active. A Lifetime referral pays $41.70 immediately. A Pro referral pays $5.70 a month, so it overtakes a Lifetime referral's total after about eight months and keeps earning after that for as long as the subscription continues.

Do agency referrals earn the same 30% rate?
Yes. Agencies use the exact same commission structure when sharing their link with their own clients. See What are the affiliate program rules and guidelines? for how agency use works.
