the average length of time a Kit customer staysHow Kit affiliate commission works
You'll earn 50% commission on each new customer's first 12 months. This applies to every affiliate, from your first referral.
When you refer 10 paying customers in a year you’ll also earn an additional 10% recurring commission for as long as they stay with Kit.
The average stay for Kit customers is 40 months, and that's how long recurring commission can keep paying. Some stay longer.

FAQs
Your questions about the Kit affiliate program answered.
What are the benefits of joining the Kit affiliate program?
You earn 50% commission on every paying customer you refer, and you can keep earning past the first year once you refer 10 or more paying customers in a year. Kit affiliates also get access to affiliate webinars, guest podcast opportunities, expert sessions, and dedicated support.
How much commission can I earn as a Kit affiliate?
You'll earn 50% commission on each referral's first 12 months. Refer 10 or more paying customers in a year, and you'll also earn 10% recurring commission on each one for as long as they stay a customer. Kit customers stick around for an average of 40 months, so that recurring commission adds up. Refer fewer than 10 in a year and you'll still earn 50% on each customer's first 12 months.
Is it free to join the Kit affiliate program?
Yes. Applying is free and there's no cost to join.
Do I need to be a Kit customer to be an affiliate?
You don't need to be a Kit user to be a Kit affiliate. Plenty of affiliates are Kit customers who were already recommending Kit before they joined the program, but it isn't a requirement.
What types of partners does the Kit affiliate program accept?
We work with all kinds of creators, including SaaS reviewers, content publishers, course creators, B2B marketplaces, and app builders. If your audience overlaps with creators and businesses building an audience, please apply.
How and when will I get paid as an affiliate?
The Kit affiliate program runs through PartnerStack. Once you're approved, you'll choose your payment method: Stripe, PayPal, or direct deposit, based on your region. You can withdraw funds once you reach $5 in commissions, typically available by the 13th of each month. We hold commissions for 31 days to account for refunds.
Where can I learn more about the rules of being a Kit affiliate?
Read the Kit Affiliate Program Terms of Service before you join. You'll need to understand and accept the terms to access your affiliate link and withdraw payments.
How long does it take to be approved as an affiliate?
Most applications are reviewed within 2-3 business days. We review each one individually, so include details about why you're a good fit and how you plan to promote Kit. Please don't reapply if you haven't heard back as it slows things down. If you need yours reviewed urgently, message us through PartnerStack or email affiliates@kit.com.
Do I need to have a certain audience size to become an affiliate?
You're welcome in the program whether you have a large audience or a small but engaged following. You don't need a huge audience to earn commissions—it takes one client, friend, creator, or social media follower clicking your link and making a purchase.
How long does my Kit referral link track for?
Your referral link uses a 90-day cookie. If someone clicks it and signs up for a paid Kit plan within 90 days, that referral is credited to you.
How does Kit's commission compare to other email marketing affiliate programs?
Kit's 50% first-year rate sits right alongside the rest of the category. Beehiiv pays up to 60% on a referral's first year, and Flodesk pays 50% on the first year. The difference is what happens after month 12: refer 10 or more paying customers in a year and you'll earn 10% recurring commission on each one for as long as they stay. Not many programs pay beyond the first year at all.
Where can I get support if I have more questions?
Email the Kit affiliate team at affiliates@kit.com. We'll help with application questions, promotion ideas, or anything else you need.
