Earn affiliate commissions

Refer people who sell websites, and earn 15% of what they pay us for their first 12 months. Every Ironstone account has an affiliate link.

Generate affiliate link

The affiliate overview of a fictional affiliate: clicks, sign-ups and paying referrals this month, the link and the code, where the amounts and the link are covered.
  1. Authenticate at app.ironstonedesign.com/affiliates using Google single sign-on or an email verification code, following standard Ironstone account creation procedures.
  2. Select Set up later during the storefront setup process if you intend exclusively to refer new partners.
  3. Open Referral program in the menu to find your link, your code, and who signed up.

Your referral link operates under the Affiliate Terms, which are formally accepted during account registration.

Commission structure and payout schedules

  1. You earn 15% of what each person you refer pays us for 12 months: their plan, their live websites and their add-ons.
  2. We hold what you earn for 60 days, in case a payment is refunded. Then it is yours.
  3. On the 1st of each month we pay you everything that is ready, once it adds up to $50. A smaller balance carries over, and every January we pay any balance of $10 or more. You never lose what you have earned.

Processed refunds will automatically deduct the corresponding commissions from your balance.

Referral Account Statuses

  1. Registered: the account signed up, but hasn't paid yet.
  2. Active subscriber: the account pays, and you earn your share each time.
  3. Ineligible: The account was registered under your own identity and does not qualify for commissions.

Dashboard reports display customer first names and last initials only, protecting all contact details.

Set your PayPal address for payouts

  1. Go to the Payouts tab.
  2. Enter your active PayPal account address and click Save to confirm.
  3. Monthly commission disbursements are automatically remitted to this designated address.

You must maintain an active PayPal account under this exact email address to receive disbursements.

Compliance guidelines

  1. Disclose your affiliate partnership clearly at the start of every post, video, and social media caption.
  2. Turn on the paid partnership label on each social platform you use.
  3. Focus content on platform capabilities and omit specific income figures or earnings claims.
  4. Review the Affiliate Terms for complete policy details.
