Good introductions deserve recognition.

That depends on your network and your tier, and we don't publish an average — we have no audited figure to stand behind. What we can show you is the arithmetic. One Enterprise referral on the $5,499/yr plan pays $440/yr at Standard (8%), $660/yr at Power (12%) and $1,100/yr at Elite (20%). Ten of those at the Elite rate is $11,000 a year. There is no cap — and no promise either: what you earn depends on how many firms you refer, which plans they buy, and how long they stay.

Service bureaus, EROs, and multi-location tax preparation networks are ideal. They have the highest need for referral tracking, commission management, and the Rewards Library. Solo practitioners can also use GoRefer for referrals and commissions.

No, you don't need to be a GoRefer.io customer to become an affiliate. If you're not a customer yet, there is a 7-day free trial on the Scale feature set, so you can try what you'd be recommending.

Commissions follow eligible paid subscription invoices at the rate locked for that referral. If a referral upgrades from Growth ($1,349/yr) to Enterprise ($5,499/yr), your annual commission goes from $108 to $440 (Standard), $162 to $660 (Power), or $270 to $1,100 (Elite). These full-year examples assume a full annual invoice. If an upgrade produces an eligible paid invoice, commission follows that amount, subject to the commission window and payout hold.

Yes. Every plan earns commission on both billing cycles — Growth ($149/mo or $1,349/yr), Scale ($279/mo or $2,499/yr) and Enterprise ($599/mo or $5,499/yr). Standard affiliates earn 8%, Power affiliates earn 12%, and Elite affiliates earn 20% with a lifetime commission window (no expiry). It is the recurring subscription that is commissionable — the one-time activation fee is not.

Anyone in the tax preparation industry! Your network of tax professionals, ERO contacts, service bureau owners, industry association members, or anyone who runs a tax practice with referral programs. Focus on firms that need referral attribution, preparer incentives, and commission management.

Monthly plan commissions are released in full after the standard 30-day hold. Annual plan commissions are split into 2 equal installments: the first after that same 30-day hold, the second at 6 months. Payouts are processed via Stripe Connect on the 15th of each month, on the same schedule for every tier. The minimum payout is $50 — anything below it rolls into the next cycle.

Yes, the minimum payout is $50. A balance below that rolls over to the next payout cycle until it clears the threshold. All payouts are processed through Stripe Connect.
