You already share what works.
In the conversations people already trust you for — recommending Tangerine Star just adds a small, honest return to something you'd do anyway.
In person
At a market, a trade show, or across the counter — when someone asks how you keep your shop organized, you can hand them your link instead of explaining it in the aisle.
In your group chats
Buying groups and community channels run on trust and shared tools. Dropping your link where peers already swap recommendations is the most natural thing in the world.
To your audience
A link in your bio, a line in your newsletter, a post to the people who already follow you for what works. Your link travels anywhere you do — and earns wherever it lands.
On a printed card
Download a print-ready card with your QR code from your dashboard. Leave a few by your register or at your table — the people who visit you often ask what tools you use.
Simple enough to explain over coffee
Share your link or card
Grab your personal link or download a print-ready QR card from your affiliate dashboard. Hand it to someone you think we can help. That's the whole setup.
They subscribe to Tangerine Star
When they sign up through your link, they're attributed to you. The moment their subscription is active, you start earning — automatically, nothing to chase.
You earn every month they stay
A share of their subscription, credited toward your own bill first. The longer their shop runs well on Tangerine Star, the more you earn. Annual plans pay out monthly.
Refer a few shops and
your subscription pays for itself.
Your earnings land as credit toward your own bill first. Refer a handful of shops that stick, and that credit can cover your whole subscription — then start paying you a surplus.
We say you can earn your subscription back — never that you'll "ride free." It's tied to real shops that keep paying, so it's honest by construction.
No fine print, no pyramid
This isn't an MLM, and we don't dress it up like one. Here's exactly how the money works.
20% if you're a merchant, 10% if you're a partner
Run a shop on Tangerine Star? You earn 20% of what each referred shop pays. An independent partner or creator earns 10%. If your own subscription lapses, your rate moves to 10% until you're active again.
Recurring, and prorated honestly
You earn every month a referred shop stays — not a one-time bounty. Annual plans pay out one-twelfth each month, so it tracks the shop actually staying. Hardware (the Seymour device) is excluded.
Tied to real, paying shops
Earnings come from actual subscription revenue from active shops — never from sign-ups that don't stick, and never from recruiting other affiliates.
One level, never a pyramid
You earn on the shops you refer. That's it — a single, direct level. No second tier, no overrides, no recruiting downlines. Simple to understand, honest to explain.
Credit-first, the same for everyone
Your earnings always offset your own bill first. Cashing out a surplus uses Stripe — and how that works depends only on whether you already run a shop with us.
Already a merchant?
Your affiliate profile is already set up in your account. Earnings credit your own bill automatically — you only verify with Stripe when you want to withdraw a cash surplus. Most never need to.
An independent partner?
You'll complete a quick Stripe Connect verification up front as part of getting set up — there's no subscription to offset, so it's how we get you ready to be paid. Calm and one-time.
