Bring a writer in.
Get paid every month they stay.
If you run a newsletter, a channel, a podcast, or a writers’ community, you can share a simple link and earn a recurring commission for everyone who signs up for a paid Pendraic plan through it. You get paid on the 1st of every month via Stripe, for as long as your referrals stay paying customers.
How the tiers work
Everyone starts at 3.5%. Your rate goes up automatically as more of your referrals become active (meaning they’ve paid past the 60-day refund window). The rate we stamp on each new commission never changes later, so a tier promotion doesn’t silently rewrite old earnings.
Standard
3.5%
0 active referrals
The default rate. You keep earning this on every payment your referrals make, forever.
Influencer
5.0%
50 active referrals
For creators with a reliable audience. Every new commission accrues at the higher rate from here.
Partner
7.5%
150 active referrals
Serious recurring volume. Most successful affiliates level out here.
Elite
7.5%
10% if you’re on Premium
1,000 active referrals
Top of the ladder. If you’re also on Premium yourself, every commission accrues at 10%.
How it works
- 1
Pick a code
Grab something recognizable (your handle, a channel name). You can have up to 10 active codes if you run separate campaigns.
- 2
Share /r/yourcode
Anyone who visits the link in the next 90 days and then signs up for a paid plan is attributed to you. We use a standard last-click cookie, so if they click your link twice via two campaigns, the most recent one wins.
- 3
Get paid on the 1st
Once your available balance hits $25, the monthly payout moves that money into your Stripe Connect account. Below $25 it rolls forward to next month.
Honest details
Only paid accounts count.
Free accounts don’t contribute to your tier or your payouts. If someone you referred switches back to free, they come off your active-referral count.
First payment is a maturity row.
The first invoice a new referral pays accrues no commission. We do this to cover the Stripe refund window without you seeing money appear and disappear. From the second payment on, you accrue as normal.
Refunds reverse the commission.
If a referral gets a refund inside 60 days, the commission we held in pending flips to reversed automatically. No clawback after the money has paid out.
No self-referrals, no ring fraud.
You can’t refer yourself. The detectors flag circular patterns and unusual velocity, and the admin team reviews anything that trips the sensors before payouts go out.
Stripe onboarding takes a couple of minutes. You need an account in a country Stripe Connect Express supports.
