Affiliate Program
Refer traders to CrossTrade and earn a recurring commission on every subscription that starts through your link, for years, not once. Enrollment is one click inside the dashboard, and every click, trial, and commission shows up there the moment it happens.
Open Affiliates in your CrossTrade dashboard. Any active member can enroll instantly at the Starter tier. Your referral link is waiting on the next screen.
What you earn
Three tiers. You start at Starter and move up on results.
| Tier | Commission | Paid on each referral for | How you get there |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 10% recurring | 2 years | Instant, any active member |
| Active | 15% recurring | 3 years | Automatic at 10 active referred subscribers |
| Partner | 20% recurring | Lifetime | Apply at 25 active referred subscribers |
"Recurring" means you earn on the first purchase and on every renewal after it, monthly or yearly, for the duration shown. A referral you brought in at one tier keeps earning at that tier's rate even if your tier changes later.
Partner is by application. CrossTrade reviews your site, channel, or community before approving, so a live public platform with real trading content is required. Partners also get a personalized promo code that gives their audience a discount at checkout.
How referrals are tracked
Your dashboard gives you a personal referral link. Anyone who arrives through it and completes a purchase is attributed to you, as long as they have never held a CrossTrade account before.
Promo codes are a discount, not a referral. A Partner's code lowers the customer's price, but a commission is only credited when the customer came through the Partner's link. A code copied off a coupon site or a repost gives the customer the discount and nobody the commission. Share the link, not just the code.
Using your own link or code on your own subscription ends your participation in the program and forfeits unpaid commissions.
Getting paid
- When: the 15th of each month, for everything earned through the end of the previous month.
- Minimum: $50. A smaller balance rolls forward and pays out once it clears the line.
- How: PayPal, to the email you set in the dashboard.
- Before the first payout: a W-9 (U.S.) or W-8BEN (everyone else), submitted in the dashboard. Nothing pays out until it is on file. W-8BEN forms expire after three years.
- Refunds and chargebacks reverse the matching commission. If it was already paid, it comes off a future payout.
- Cancellation ends attribution. When a referred subscriber cancels, your commissions on that account stop, even if they later come back.
CrossTrade Match: double it instead
Skip the cash payout and CrossTrade applies your balance as credit toward your own annual plan at two times its cash value. Every $1 earned becomes $2 toward your subscription. A handful of active referrals can cover the whole year.
- Annual plans only, at full list price. Sale pricing does not count toward the cap.
- Credit covers at most one year. Anything beyond that stays in your balance.
- Cash payouts pause while you are elected. You can switch back to cash any time before the credit is applied.
- Once applied, the credit has no cash value and cannot be refunded or transferred.
Elect it from the Affiliates page. You pick the annual plan, and the credit is applied to your next renewal.
Staying in good standing
- Disclose the relationship. U.S. FTC rules apply. Say plainly, near the link, that you earn a commission if someone signs up through it. Every post, every video, not just the first one.
- No spam, no misrepresentation, no unauthorized discounts. Only share coupons CrossTrade gave you.
- No bidding on the CrossTrade name in paid search.
- No artificial attribution: cookie stuffing, click fraud, or anything of the kind.
- Inactivity moves you down one tier, never out. Ninety days with no referred sales drops Partner to Active, or Active to Starter. Your unpaid balance is unaffected, and existing referrals keep their original rate.
