Affiliate FAQ
Who can apply?
Anyone — writers, bloggers, YouTubers, course creators, agencies, writing communities. You do not need to be a Chiify customer.
How is commission calculated?
3% of net revenue from each paid plan your referral subscribes to, paid monthly for 12 months from the date of their first paid transaction. On the $300 Lifetime plan, you receive $9 as a single one-time payout.
When do I get paid?
Monthly on the 15th, for any balance above $50. USD bank transfer (ACH or SWIFT) or PayPal. Balances below $50 roll over and never expire.
What happens if my referral cancels?
Commission accrues on every successful billing cycle while the referral is active, up to 12 months. We never claw back commission already paid.
Are there volume tiers?
Yes. 50 paid referrals in a quarter increases your rate to 7% for that quarter and the next. 200 paid referrals in a year unlocks a custom rate up to 10% on a written agreement.
Can I bid on Chiify keywords in paid search?
No bidding on “chiify”, “chiify.com”, or close trademark variants. Generic terms (“book distribution”, “sell ebooks worldwide”, etc.) are permitted.
What materials are provided?
Logos (SVG/PNG), display banners in standard IAB sizes, email templates, embed widgets, and a brand style guide — from the affiliate dashboard once approved.
