How referrals work
Step 1
Create a free Aplauso account
Open Referrals in your account and copy your unique link. A paid plan or separate affiliate application is not required.
Step 2
Share Aplauso with the right fit
Use your link or make a transparent introduction to a service professional or business that can use digital tipping and guest feedback.
Step 3
Earn when eligible paid tips happen
The standard program pays 2% of eligible paid tip volume, with a separate cap of up to $300 for each eligible person, department, or outlet that receives tips.
How earnings work
The standard share is 2% of eligible paid tip volume.
Earnings come from Aplauso rather than reducing recipient payouts.
Each eligible tip-receiving person, department, or outlet has a separate cap of up to $300.
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.
