💸Sharing Rewards with Referred Users
Affiliates can automatically share a portion of their rewards with the users they refer. This creates a mutual incentive: affiliates earn more by bringing in users, and referred users get rewarded for completing actions.
How it works
When an affiliate creates a referral code with a rebate rate, that percentage of their payout is automatically transferred to the referred user at payout time.
Affiliate commission
20%
Rebate rate
5%
Affiliate receives
15%
Referred user gets
5%
The rebate rate is set on the referral code and locked at the moment a user accepts it. If the rate changes later, existing referrer relationships keep their original locked rate — only new relationships use the updated rate.
The rebate is taken from the affiliate's share, not added on top. The total reward budget for the project remains the same.
Configuration
Set the rebate rate when generating a referral code. The maximum allowed rebate rate is 20% — values above this are automatically capped.
See Referral Codes for the full code generation API, including the rebate_rate parameter.
Supported payout types
Double side rewards apply to variable payout terms only — programs where rewards are calculated as a percentage of volume or revenue. Fixed rewards and pool distributions do not support rebates.
Use cases
VIP affiliate programs — top affiliates attract high-value users by passing on part of their commission
Two-sided marketplaces — both the referrer and the new user need an incentive to participate
Referral competitions — affiliates compete by offering the best rebate to maximize their referred volume
