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.
