Refer bidyou.ai.
Earn 25% year one, 10% forever.

Two ways. (1) Unique referral link (e.g. https://bidyou.ai/?ref=YOURNAME) — captured on landing, 30-day localStorage attribution that survives navigation. (2) The signup form has a "Have a referral code?" toggle for word-of-mouth referrals. Either way, the customer is tagged with your partner ID in our database (not cookies) — the assignment is sticky once set, so a later partner can't poach your credit.

Commission is paid on cleared subscription invoices — no upfront bonus for free signups. Your referral signs up free, explores the product, and at some point upgrades to Starter (€39/mo) or Pro (€129/mo). Their first invoice is half-price (50 % off as the two-sided perk — €19.50 or €64.50 saved). Your commission is calculated on the **nominal price** of the subscription, not the discounted amount — so month 1 still pays you 25 % × €39 = €9.75 (Starter) or 25 % × €129 = €32.25 (Pro), even though your referral paid half. The 25 % continues for 11 more months at full price. From month 13 onward, the rate steps down to 10 % of every invoice — but it keeps paying for as long as your referral remains a customer (€3.90/mo Starter, €12.90/mo Pro, lifetime). Typical time from referral signup to first cleared paid invoice: 1–3 months.

No. Attribution is sticky from the first moment a code is entered — at the signup form, via ?ref= URL, or (if no code was entered at signup) at the upgrade Stripe Checkout. Once your partner ID is on the customer record, no other partner can override it. This protects you from poaching: a competitor partner can't persuade your referral to swap codes at upgrade time. The trade-off: if a customer signs up with no code and later sees another partner's content, that other partner gets credit. First-set wins is a B2B SaaS industry norm (Stripe Atlas / Webflow follow the same pattern).

Commission is calculated each month based on cleared subscription invoices from your referred customers. Payout via SEPA bank transfer (EU) or Wise (rest of world). Minimum payout €50; balances below that roll over to the next month. As the program scales we will switch payouts to Stripe Connect (automatic, weekly) — until then it is monthly and operator-handled.

If a customer is refunded within 60 days of their first payment, all commissions paid up to that point are clawed back. After 60 days, refunds only reverse the commission for the specific refunded invoice. If the customer cancels (without refund), the commission for any future invoices simply stops — you keep what was already paid.

Yes — and it never fully stops. You earn 25% on every subscription invoice your referred customer pays for the first 12 months from their first payment. Starting month 13, the rate drops to 10% — but it continues for the lifetime of the customer. Most B2B SaaS partner programs (Webflow, Stripe Atlas, ConvertKit) hard-stop commission after 12 months; we keep paying you a smaller share for as long as your referral stays. A Pro customer who retains for 4 years pays you €387 (year 1) + €464 (years 2-4 at 10%) = €851 — more than double what a year-1-only cap would give you.

Year 1 is the high-acquisition-effort window — your content drove the signup, your audience trusted you. The 25 % reflects that. From month 13 onward your work is mostly retention rather than acquisition, so 10 % is a fair "loyalty stake" — bigger than the industry standard 0 % cliff. The split protects us from making each customer perpetually unprofitable while still rewarding partners who bring high-retention customers (a strong incentive to recommend only people who actually need bidyou.ai, not anyone with a pulse).

No. Self-referral is the easiest fraud to commit and the easiest to detect — same email domain, same IP, same card. Self-referrals are voided and the partner account is closed.

No. Paid search on the term "bidyou", "bidyou.ai", "bid you" or close variants is prohibited. We protect that traffic centrally so the program stays profitable for everyone. Violation = partner account closed and pending commissions forfeited.

Yes. We accept applications during private beta and pay commissions on real subscriptions even before public launch. Honest reviews, comparisons, even "why I almost picked a competitor" posts — all welcome.
