Affiliate program

Refer merchants to Nowgate and earn a share of the fees they pay, paid out like any balance.

On this page

Any active business can join the affiliate program from the dashboard's Referrals page (with the team's referrals permission to manage). When a business you refer signs up, you earn a share of Nowgate's payment fees on its payments, for a year.

Joining gives you a referral code. Share either link:

  • https://nowgate.io/?ref=<code>: the site keeps the code for 30 days, and the last link followed wins.
  • https://app.nowgate.io/sign-up?ref=<code>: straight to sign-up.

Add codes of your own to tell campaigns apart: 3 to 32 characters of a-z, 0-9 and -, up to 10 active, each with a label. A code can be turned off, and isn't reused.

A business is referred once, when it signs up, by the code in the sign-up link or in the site's cookie. A code that is unknown or turned off refers nobody, and the sign-up goes on.

Your share#

  • 20 % of Nowgate's payment fees from each merchant you refer, for 365 days from their sign-up. The terms are fixed when they sign up.
  • Only final fees count: at once on networks with finality, and once a Bitcoin payment is settled. Payout fees and network fees aren't shared.
  • Held for 30 days, then added to your available balance, in the coin the fee was paid in. Pay it out from the payouts pages or the API, like any balance.

Fees are 0 until Nowgate's pricing is set, so shares are 0 until then.

What you see#

The affiliate program's page shows your links and codes with each code's sign-ups, the merchants you referred (numbered, never named: a referral doesn't make their business yours), and your shares by coin: held, released and voided, with each one's date and release date.
