Affiliates
8% of what your referrals spend
A direct referral pays you 20% of Hanzo’s margin on its metered spend, every period it spends. At the default 40% margin that is 8% of the bill, and the customer’s price does not change.
How it works
- Apply with
POST /v1/affiliate/apply, or write to [email protected]. - Once approved you have a code and a link,
https://hanzo.ai/?aff=<code>. - An org that signs up through the link is yours: first touch, one affiliate per org, never your own.
- Each period, commission accrues on that org’s metered spend, once per org per period.
- Payouts are recorded against what has accrued, as Hanzo credits or in cash.
Rates
Each level is a share of Hanzo’s margin on the referred org’s spend.
| Level | Share of margin | Of the bill, at the default margin | Who |
|---|---|---|---|
| Direct | 20% | 8% | An org that signed up through your link. |
| Second | 5% | 2% | An org one of your referrals brought. |
| Third | 2% | 0.8% | One step further. Nothing accrues past three. |
What you can read
GET /v1/affiliate/me answers your standing, what has accrued, what is pending and what has been paid. GET /v1/affiliate/me/earnings shows each period’s margin and the commission taken from it, and GET /v1/affiliate/me/links the clicks, signups and conversions behind each link.
A referral on its own pays nothing; what a qualified referral is worth is this commission. Authors of open source are paid on a separate schedule, described on the royalty page.
