What the affiliate does

How referrals work

Open a free Aplauso account, go to Referrals, and copy your unique tracked link.
Step 2
Introduce a genuine fit
Share with a service professional or operator and disclose that you may earn a referral share.
Step 3
Earn from eligible tips
Receive 2% of eligible paid tip volume until each recipient reaches its separate $300 cap.
How earnings work
The referral link handles attribution. The product and real tip activity determine whether earnings are created.
Referral earnings do not reduce the referred recipient's configured payout.
This models program caps, not expected or guaranteed earnings. Actual earnings depend on valid attribution, eligible paid tip activity, and the referral program terms.
How the separate $300 caps scale
The cap applies to each eligible tip-receiving person, department, or outlet. It does not apply just once to the referred organization as a whole.
Each eligible person, department, or outlet that receives tips has its own referral-earnings cap of up to $300. A large referred organization may therefore include many separately capped earning streams, but actual earnings still depend on eligible paid tip activity and the program terms.

FAQ
How do I get a referral link?
Create an Aplauso account for free, then open Referrals in your account to copy your unique link. A paid plan or separate affiliate application is not required for the standard program.
What does a referral partner do?
Identify a service business that genuinely fits Aplauso, share a tracked referral link or make a transparent introduction, and describe your referral relationship honestly.
What receives its own $300 cap?
Each eligible tip-receiving person, department, or outlet has its own referral-earnings cap of up to $300. One referred organization can therefore include multiple separately capped earning streams.
How are referral earnings determined?
The current standard program pays 2% of eligible paid tip volume, up to $300 for each eligible person, department, or outlet that receives tips. Eligibility and payout conditions are governed by the referral program terms.
