Built for trusted introductions
You do not need a huge audience. You need the right fit.
The strongest referral starts with a service business that already feels the gap between great work and the moment guests pay.
Creators and publishers
Give a service-led audience a useful product story, supported by approved content and evidence guidance.
Industry connectors
Share Aplauso with associations, destination partners, suppliers, and communities close to operators.
How the program works
From a useful introduction to eligible earnings.
The referral link handles attribution. The product and real tip activity determine whether earnings are created.
01
Create and copy your link
Open a free Aplauso account, go to Referrals, and copy your unique tracked link.
02
Introduce a genuine fit
Share with a service professional or operator and disclose that you may earn a referral share.
03
Earn from eligible tips
Receive 2% of eligible paid tip volume until each recipient reaches its separate $300 cap.
Transparent, usage-based, and funded by Aplauso
Referral earnings do not reduce the referred recipient's configured payout.
Model the cap structure
A large organization can create meaningful upside.
Every eligible tip-receiving person, department, or outlet has a separate cap. Use the model to understand that structure, not to predict earnings.
One referred business can include many separately capped recipients as its Aplauso setup grows.

Where introductions fit
Look for service moments separated from payment.
Aplauso is most useful where guests want to recognize service but cash, checkout timing, or team structure gets in the way.

Straight answers
Know exactly what you are sharing.
The standard program is simple, but valid attribution and eligible paid tip activity still matter.
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.
Do referral earnings reduce service-team payouts?+
No. The referral share is funded from Aplauso's platform allocation and does not reduce the referred recipient's configured payout.
