Earn Commissions: When a referred customer signs up and remains active past the 90-day waiting period, you receive your commission payout.
Receive Payments: Commissions are paid monthly on the 15th via PayPal or Wise, with no minimum payout threshold.
Note: A specialized agency affiliate program with recurring commissions and enhanced benefits is in development and will be announced soon.

Agency Program Details
For agencies, Rapyd Cloud offers a tiered affiliate program with recurring commissions and added benefits. Your level is determined by the volume of referred revenue or customers in the past 12 months. If you don’t meet the target in the following 12 months, you move back down a level.
Key Rules
Recurring commissions last for 12 months per referral.
Commissions are paid 90 days after the customer's signup, with payouts processed monthly on the 15th.
30-day cookie window applies.
Any sales generated from coupon code links are voided, and the affiliate is banned.
All affiliates must be vetted and have an active website registered in our system.
Commission Options
Each tier gives you two choices:
Full Commission: Keep the entire percentage listed for your tier.
Commission Share: Offer your referrals a 5% discount code. In this case, the agency keeps a reduced commission rate (varies by tier).
If you want to activate the commission share option, contact our affiliate team at [email protected].
