beehiiv Partner Program TOS

Last modified: October 1st, 2024

There are a few rules about our partner program you should know about. No “gotchas” here, just some terms to keep everyone happy. Also refer to our FAQ page here.

  • Self-referrals are not allowed (i.e. signing up through your own partner link).

  • Abuse, gaming, or attempting to mislead (i.e. posting fake discounts to coupon-sharing websites) will result in your account being permanently banned.

  • Partners are permitted to have a single account, and cannot have an email associated with multiple partner accounts.

  • In some cases, we can give credit to a partner even if the customer didn’t sign up through a partner link or coupon code. If you have a case like this, please contact us here (partners (at) beehiiv.com) and we’ll do our best to help attribute your referral to your account. This would be pending the customer that signed up isn't already associated with another partner. Our same 60-day attribution window would apply here.

  • No paid search engine ads on Bing and or Google (especially on branded terms or domain names.) If you're running search ads directly to your affiliate link this will result in your account being permanently banned. Keep in mind Meta, LinkedIn, or other social ads are ok to run ads. If this isn't clear or you have questions please email (partners (at) @beehiiv.com)

  • No pretending to be beehiiv or acting on behalf of us or any variations/miss spelling of our brand name (i.e. as an employee, company, or website).

  • We reserve the right to change the Terms of Service for our partner program at any time.

  • We reserve the right to terminate your partner account for violation of any of the rules at our sole discretion.

  • Commissions generated by mechanisms that are in violation of our Terms of Service will not be paid or owed.

Play by the rules and let’s all make money together! We have a zero strike policy so if you do have questions ask before.

Commission Payment(s)

Commissions are processed on the 1st of every month for the previous month's commissions and then paid on the 15th of each month via PayPal.

It is important to note that an earned commission payout will become eligible (due) after a 30-day provisioning window. This prevents fraud, spam, and potential chargebacks. On the 1st of each month, we process all eligible (due) commissions and then on the 15th of each month, the payouts are paid out via PayPal.

A few notes on payouts:

  • PayPal. In order to receive payment, you must provide a valid PayPal email address. Depending on your account type and/or receiving country, PayPal may charge fees for incoming transfers. This is considered a partner business expense. PayPal is also the only payout method available at this time. To update/change your paypal email address you can do that here.

  • Payout maximum. Partners are eligible to earn and be paid up to $100,000 (USD) commission per each customer referral.

Commission Variations

While our standard commission structure is up to 60% for 12 months, please note that commissions may vary. Some partners may receive lower or higher commission rates, or different payout durations based on special performance based agreements.

For example:

  • Some partners may receive a lower or higher percentage commission based on special deals and or tier level.

  • Some partners may have commissions paid out for longer than 12 months.

Regardless of the commission structure set with each partner, the maximum eligible commission earned  per individual referral is capped at $100,000 (USD).

Contests/Giveaways

As a valued beehiiv partner, you are eligible to participate in our exclusive quarterly Beach Club Giveaways and other occasional Contests/Giveaways. These opportunities are offered in addition to, and on top of, your regular commission earnings.

Quarterly Beach Club Giveaway

Each quarter, we offer an all-expenses-paid beach vacation as a reward for outstanding performance.

The vacation package includes round-trip airfare and hotel accommodations for two, with a total value not exceeding $5,000.00 (USD). Eligibility to win is determined by having the highest net new partner sales over that specific three-month quarter time period. This minimum is $2,500.00 (USD) in total sales to qualify.

Winners will be announced during the first week of each quarter. Partners can partake in winning multiple beach club giveaways but just not consecutively or back-to-back quarters. View the live leaderboard here.

Contests & Giveaways

Contests/Giveaways are held occasionally throughout the year. Eligible participants can qualify either through a single sale or by meeting specific contest rules or guidelines. Rules may vary.

Winners are selected through a random raffle-style drawing from all qualified entrants. By having a single net new referral during that calendar month will qualify you.

These initiatives are part of our commitment to recognizing and rewarding the hard work and success of our partners.

Top performers will be rewarded! Let’s earn together!
