Partner commissions and payouts

How commissions work

With the referral model, your agency earns a commission for every month of subscription paid by a client that your agency brought to Interlinked AI. The commission is calculated on what the client actually pays, before tax and after discounts, including your code’s discount. The rate depends on which month your client is in:

Your client’s month	Current rate
Client discount	10% off their first subscription charge, once
Months 1 and 2	50%
Months 3 to 6	30%
Months 7 to 12	20%
Months 13 to 36	15%
After month 36	No more commission

Months are counted from your client’s first paid invoice, by calendar month; a free-trial invoice of $0 doesn’t count. Months in which your client doesn’t pay also count: they don’t extend the period.

Clients that don’t earn commission

• Your own workspace and those of the people on your team.
• Businesses that already used Interlinked and link your agency themselves from their settings (they show as Managed): you have access, but you didn’t bring them.
• Any client that received a wholesale license from your agency, even if they later pay for their plan directly.
• Clients who move to another agency, from the moment they move.

See Your agency code and link and Wholesale licenses for partners.

Example

A client who arrived with your link pays for a plan of $1,000 MXN a month before tax and stays all 36 months:

Your client’s month	Calculation	Your commission
Month 1 (with 10% discount)	$900.00 × 50%	$450.00 MXN
Month 2	$1,000.00 × 50%	$500.00 MXN
Months 3 to 6	$1,000.00 × 30%	$300.00 MXN each month
Months 7 to 12	$1,000.00 × 20%	$200.00 MXN each month
Months 13 to 36	$1,000.00 × 15%	$150.00 MXN each month
Total over 36 months	$450 + $500 + 4 × $300 + 6 × $200 + 24 × $150	$6,950.00 MXN

This is an example, not a promise: what your agency earns depends on how many clients it brings, which plan they choose and how long they stay.

What counts toward commission

• Counts: the plan, plan changes and subscription add-ons.
• Doesn’t count: tax, overage usage billed separately and the part of an invoice covered by account credit.

Annual and multi-month plans

Commission is earned month by month: there is one commission for each month of service. If your client pays for an annual plan, what they paid is split across its 12 months and each month gets the rate for your client’s month. For example, if they buy an annual plan in their month 1, months 1 and 2 get 50%, months 3 to 6 get 30% and months 7 to 12 get 20%.

Each month of an annual plan is released 30 days after that month starts. On a monthly plan, the commission is released 30 days after the payment.

When they stop

A client’s commissions stop when:

• Your client reaches the end of their month 36.
• Your client cancels or moves down to the Free plan.
• Your client changes to another agency.

If a client cancels and subscribes again before their month 36, the commission continues at the rate of the month they’re in.

30-day hold

Each commission is Held for 30 days, in case of a refund or chargeback. After that it becomes Payable and goes into your next statement.

Monthly statement

On the first day of each month (Mexico City time) we gather into a statement all your agency’s commissions that became payable, minus the month’s adjustments. There is one statement per currency.

1. It is generated. Your agency’s owner and finance members get an email with the total.
2. Interlinked reviews it. Meanwhile it shows as In review; if we need to clarify something, as On hold.
3. It is paid through Stripe Connect. Once approved, it shows as Payment in progress and the transfer goes out on its own to your agency’s Stripe account. We let you know by email and it shows as Paid; Stripe deposits the money in your bank on its payout schedule.

To get paid, your agency needs its Stripe payout account ready. See Set up your agency’s payout account.

Minimum payout

If the month’s total doesn’t reach $25 USD (or $500 MXN), no statement is issued: the balance is added to the next month’s until it reaches the minimum. In Earnings you see how much you have accumulated and when the next cutoff is.

Refunds and chargebacks

If an invoice is fully or partly refunded, or the client opens a chargeback, that invoice’s commission goes down in the same proportion:

• If the commission hasn’t been paid yet, it simply goes down.
• If it was already paid, the difference is deducted as an adjustment in your next statement.
• If the invoice covers several months, like an annual plan, the reduction is taken from the last months first.

If we later win the chargeback, it’s credited back to you.

Commissions in the Hub

In Earnings you see your statements (with the detail of each one) and every commission with its status. Under each commission you see Client month N, so you know which rate it got.

Status	Meaning
Held	Within its 30-day hold
Payable	Released; goes into the next statement
Paid	Included in a statement already paid
Cancelled	Fully reversed by a refund or chargeback

Rate changes

The rates may change:

• If they change, we email you before they take effect.
• New rates apply to new clients. Each client keeps the scheme it started with.
• Clients that were already earning you commission under the previous scheme (25% of the first month and 20% for 24 months) keep it.
