Referral Program
Premail has a referral program for people who want to recommend it to others. If you send someone our way with a referral link and they go on to buy a paid plan, we can attribute that purchase back to you.
The program is early: there is no self-serve enrollment page on this site yet. If you would like to participate, email us and we will set you up by hand; the countries and payout currencies the program supports are listed in the terms. Full commission rates, attribution windows, payout schedules, and every other program detail are published in the affiliate program terms once approved, not restated here, so there is only one place they can go out of date.
How a referral is credited
Each affiliate gets a link in the form premail.pro/r/<code>. When someone opens it, Premail checks the code with its server and, if it is valid, carries it through to checkout. Buyers can also type a code into the Have a referral code? box on the upgrade page. If more than one link or code is used before a purchase, the most recent one gets the credit. A code only counts for the attribution window listed in the terms.
Attribution survives installing the desktop app. Clicking Open Premail on the referral page hands the code to the app, and upgrading from inside Premail later passes it along. A referral code identifies who sent the buyer; it is not, by itself, a discount.
Who counts as a referral
Credit is for new customers. A purchase by the affiliate themselves, or by someone who already had Premail, does not earn a commission. Neither does a purchase that is refunded or successfully disputed, and a partial refund reduces the commission in proportion.
How affiliates are paid
Payouts go through Stripe. You enter your bank and identity details in Stripe’s own hosted form, so Premail never sees them. A new commission is held for a set period first, to allow for refunds, and payable balances are then paid in monthly batches. A balance below the minimum payout is never forfeited; it carries forward until it is large enough to send. If a refund arrives after a commission was paid, the amount is offset against future earnings, never invoiced or debited from you.
Help with referrals
If someone gave you a referral link, open it in the browser you will pay in. The code is kept in that browser if you have accepted analytics cookies, and otherwise only for that tab, so finish checkout there or click Open Premail to hand it to the app. For the details, see using a referral link or code, missing referral credit, and affiliate payout timing. For the status of a specific referral, email support with the link or code and the approximate purchase date.
