20% of every payment, for the life of the subscription

How it works

Four steps, no approval wait, no minimum audience size.

1

Join free & get your link

Sign in and click "Join the affiliate program" on your account page. You'll instantly get a unique referral link and code — no application, no waiting period.

2

Share it

Post your link anywhere: a blog post, a YouTube video, a tweet, a client recommendation, your own website. Anyone who clicks it is tracked for 60 days.

3

They sign up & subscribe

When someone signs up through your link and subscribes to a paid plan, you earn 20% of what they pay — automatically, no invoicing required.

4

You get paid automatically

Connect your bank once via Stripe. After that, payouts happen on their own. Monthly plans pay you 20% every month; yearly plans pay you 20% on each annual renewal — for as long as they stay subscribed.

What you do / how to get paid

Three things, in any order — most affiliates do all three the same day they join.

Connect Stripe (once)

From your dashboard, click "Set up payouts" and complete Stripe's short onboarding form. Stripe handles identity verification and tax details directly — we never see your bank info.

Share your link

Your link looks like qrcodeharbor.com/?ref=YOURCODE. Drop it in a video description, a comparison article, an email signature, or a recommendation to a client — wherever your audience already trusts you.

Watch your dashboard

Clicks, referrals, conversions, pending earnings and paid earnings all update live on your account page. No spreadsheets, no monthly reports to request.

FAQ

20% of every payment made by a customer you referred, for as long as their subscription stays active — whether they're on a monthly or yearly plan. There's no cap on how much you can earn and no limit on how many people you refer.

It's recurring for the full lifetime of the referred customer's active subscription. If they stay subscribed for five years, you earn a commission on every one of those payments. If they cancel and later resubscribe on their own (without your link), that new subscription is not automatically re-attributed to you.

We use a 60-day, last-click attribution cookie. If someone clicks your link and signs up any time within 60 days, the referral is credited to you. If they click a different affiliate's link afterward, the most recent click within that window wins.

Commissions start accruing as soon as a referred customer pays. They become payable once you've completed Stripe Connect onboarding (the one-time "Set up payouts" step) — so connect your bank early to avoid any delay in receiving what you've already earned.

No. Commissions are not payable on your own account, under any email or workaround. Self-referral is treated as a prohibited practice — see the Terms below.

Any commission tied to a refunded or charged-back payment is clawed back — deducted from your pending balance, or reversed if it was already paid out.

No. There's no minimum follower count, traffic threshold, or approval process. Anyone with a free account can join instantly.

Joining the affiliate program is completely free, and it doesn't require a paid QR Code Harbor subscription of your own.

Terms & Conditions

The full rules governing the QR Code Harbor affiliate program. By joining, you agree to these terms.

Last updated: July 2026

1. Commission rate & duration

  • You earn a 20% commission on every payment made by a customer you referred, calculated on the amount actually collected (after any discounts or taxes withheld, before Stripe's processing fees).
  • Commissions are recurring for the full lifetime of the referred customer's active subscription. Monthly plans generate a commission every billing month; yearly plans generate a commission on each annual renewal.
  • Commissions stop accruing when the referred subscription ends (cancellation, non-payment, or downgrade to a free plan). They resume automatically if that same customer resubscribes without going through a different attribution event.

2. Attribution

  • We use 60-day, last-click cookie attribution. A referral is credited to you if the referred user signs up within 60 days of clicking your unique link.
  • If a user clicks multiple affiliates' links within the attribution window, the most recent click before signup receives credit.
  • Attribution is based on your unique referral code and link (?ref=YOURCODE); we are not responsible for lost attribution due to browser cookie blocking, private browsing, or a user clearing cookies between click and signup.

3. Payouts

  • All payouts are handled by Stripe Connect. Before any commission can be paid out, you must complete Stripe's onboarding flow (identity verification and any required tax information — Stripe collects and holds this directly, not us).
  • Commissions accrue and are tracked from your first referred payment, but only become payable once Stripe Connect onboarding is complete. We recommend connecting your account as soon as you join.
  • You are responsible for reporting and paying any taxes owed on commission income in your jurisdiction.

4. Refunds & chargebacks

  • If a referred payment is refunded or results in a chargeback, the associated commission is clawed back — removed from your pending balance if unpaid, or deducted from a future payout if it was already paid.

5. Prohibited practices

The following will result in forfeiture of unpaid commissions and removal from the program:

  • Self-referral — referring your own account, under any email address, to earn a commission on your own subscription.
  • Spam — unsolicited bulk email, comment spam, forum spam, or any promotion that violates the terms of the platform where it's posted.
  • Bidding on our brand terms — running paid search ads (Google Ads, Bing Ads, etc.) targeting "QR Code Harbor," "qrcodeharbor," misspellings thereof, or any confusingly similar term.
  • Misleading claims — false statements about pricing, features, endorsements, or affiliation (e.g. implying you are QR Code Harbor staff).
  • Cookie stuffing — dropping referral cookies on users without their knowledge or action (e.g. via hidden iframes, forced redirects, or malware).

6. Program changes & termination

  • We may change the commission rate, attribution window, or other program terms, or end the program entirely, with reasonable advance notice posted on this page or sent to your account email.
  • Commissions already earned and payable at the time of a change or termination will still be paid out according to these terms.
  • We may suspend or terminate an affiliate's participation for violating the prohibited practices above, at our discretion.

7. Not payable on your own account

To be explicit: you cannot earn a commission on your own subscription, regardless of how it was created or which email address is used. Commissions are only payable on genuinely referred, independent customers.
