# Refer and Earn

> Share your referral link, and earn 10% of the first payment from anyone who signs up through it.

Every Antideploy account has a referral link. When someone arrives on it, signs
up, and pays for the first time, you earn 10% of that payment.

## Find your link

Open the console and click **Refer & earn** in the sidebar, under **Account
tokens**. Your link looks like this:

```
https://antideploy.com/?ref=k3f9tq2m
```

Click **Copy link**. The code is yours permanently and never changes, so a link
you posted months ago still credits you today.

The code is not a password. It grants no access to your account, so you can put
it in a video description, a README, or a post without any risk.

## What you earn

|               |                                              |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| **You earn**  | 10% of their first payment                   |
| **Paid out**  | 30 days after that payment clears            |
| **How often** | Once per person, on their first payment only |

The commission is one time. If someone you referred stays on Pro for a year,
you earn on the first payment, not on every renewal.

<Note>
  The 30-day wait is a refund window. If a payment is reversed inside it, no
  commission is due, and waiting is what keeps us from asking for money back
  after we have sent it.
</Note>

## How the tracking works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Someone opens your link">
    We record where they came from, in a cookie that lasts 30 days. Only the
    referral code is stored, never the page they were on or anything they
    searched for.
  </Step>

  <Step title="They sign up">
    The code is written to their account at signup, once. They do not have to
    sign up on the same visit — anywhere inside those 30 days counts.
  </Step>

  <Step title="They pay">
    When their first payment clears, your commission is calculated from the
    amount actually charged.
  </Step>

  <Step title="You get paid">
    30 days later. We will ask you for payment details and anything the tax
    rules require before sending the first one.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What does not count

**Someone who already had an account.** The link credits new signups. Sending
it to an existing user does nothing.

**Your own accounts.** Referring yourself, or an account you control, is not a
referral.

**A link to any other page.** Credit is recorded on `antideploy.com` and on the
sign-in page. If you link to the pricing page or the docs with `?ref=` on the
end, nothing is recorded. Share the link exactly as the console gives it to
you.

**Someone who found us another way first.** Credit goes to the first source we
saw for that person. If they arrived from a search result last week and clicked
your link today, the earlier visit is what counts. We do this deliberately: it
means nobody can take credit for a signup that was already on its way.

## Getting paid

Payouts are handled by hand right now, which means the amount is checked by a
person before it is sent. Email
[support@antideploy.com](mailto:support@antideploy.com) once someone you
referred has paid, and we will confirm the amount and arrange the transfer.

If you are planning something larger than a few links — a video, a course, a
newsletter with real reach — say so in that email. We would rather talk about
it first than have you find out the terms afterwards.
