Micro influencer affiliate income sits on top of standard merch revenue for any creator running a Pro Shop. The affiliate program is built into the platform: every vendor signup gets both a branded storefront and an affiliate link automatically. Refer another creator, fitness coach, lifestyle brand, or anyone running a merch line, and earn 10 percent of their monthly subscription plus $1 per unit they sell, forever. Bi-weekly payouts, no caps, no third party fees.

Who micro influencers tend to refer

Three natural referral pools:

How to share the affiliate link without it feeling sales-y

Best practice: do not pitch the platform. Pitch the outcome. When another creator asks how you got your merch line live without inventory, share the link as the answer to their problem. The 10% discount code makes the recipient feel like a friend deal, not a sales pitch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be on a paid plan to earn affiliate income?

No. Even free tier vendors get an affiliate link and earn on referrals.

When do payouts hit?

Bi-weekly. Direct deposit or PayPal.

Is there a cap on affiliate earnings?

No cap, no tier requirements. Refer as many creators as you can.

What if a referred creator cancels?

You stop earning residual subscription commission from that creator. Commission already paid stays paid.
