Affiliate program
How the KlicForge referral program pays recurring commissions, and how to join.
KlicForge runs a referral-based affiliate program. Enrolled affiliates earn recurring commissions on every paid invoice from workspaces they refer, for up to 12 months from the referred workspace's first payment.
- You earn — up to 15% commission on each paid invoice, calculated on the net amount after payment processing fees.
- They save — 10% off their first invoice through your referral link or promo code.
Joining
- Sign in to the KlicForge dashboard.
- Go to Settings → Affiliate.
- Select Join the program — enrollment is instant.
- Copy your referral link or share your promo code.
Your referral link is https://klicforge.ai/r/YOURCODE. Referred visitors can also enter your
code at checkout.
Commission schedule
Rates vary by the referred workspace's plan and billing cycle:
| Plan | Monthly billing | Yearly billing |
|---|---|---|
| Startup | 10% | 12% |
| Growth | 12% | 14% |
| Business | 15% | 15% |
Commissions are calculated on the net invoice amount (gross minus payment processing fees), not the gross amount. The rate is fixed at the time each commission accrues — later changes to the commission schedule do not retroactively alter existing commissions.
Eligibility window
- Commissions accrue for 12 months from the referred workspace's first paid invoice.
- The window is set once and is not extended by plan changes, cancellations, or resubscriptions.
- If a referred workspace resubscribes after its eligibility window has expired, no new commissions accrue.
Payout hold period
Commissions are held for 30 days from the invoice date before becoming eligible for payout, covering the standard refund and chargeback dispute window. The payable-from date is shown against each commission in your dashboard.
Cancellation clawback
If a referred workspace cancels within 90 days of its first paid invoice, any pending or approved commissions for that referral are voided. This reflects the early-churn risk period.
Refunds and chargebacks
- A refunded invoice automatically reverses the matching commission.
- A charged-back payment automatically reverses the matching commission.
- If a reversal happens after a commission has already been paid out, the amount may be deducted from a future payout.
Commission statuses
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pending | Accrued; waiting for the 30-day hold period before payout eligibility |
| Approved | Hold period passed; eligible for payout in the next settlement |
| Paid | Included in a completed payout |
| Clawed back | Reversed due to a refund or chargeback |
| Void | Cancelled — typically because the referred workspace cancelled within 90 days |
| Rejected | Manually rejected, for example after a self-referral is detected |
Payouts
Payouts are currently processed manually:
- Confirm you have approved commissions in your dashboard.
- Email [email protected] with your payout request.
- Provide accurate payee details and any required tax documentation, such as a W-9 or W-8BEN.
KlicForge may withhold payouts pending identity verification or to investigate suspected abuse.
Self-referral policy
You may not refer your own workspace, any workspace you own or control, or any account where the billing party is materially the same person or entity as you. This is enforced at both the workspace and individual level. Violations result in commission forfeiture and may lead to program termination.
Changing your referral code
You may change your referral code to a custom code once. Your previous code stays active and attributable for any visitors who received it before the change, but cannot be reissued or reused by anyone else.
Tracking
All referrals and commission details are visible in Settings → Affiliate. The commissions table shows status, invoice amount, commission amount, and — for commissions still in the hold period — the date they become payable.
