Affiliate program
The Make affiliate program allows you to earn commission with successful Make account activation through tracked links.
When a visitor signs up using your unique referral link, we give you a commission. Anyone can join the program and start monetizing their audience through these referrals.
Registering for the Make Affiliate program
If you are a new affiliate and registering for the first time:
Log in to your Make account.
Click your Profile name > Affiliate program.
In the Create your unique affiliate code field, enter a code of your choice between 5 and 20 characters. For example,
johndoe.Note
Your code must contain lower case letters. It can include numbers.
Your code cannot contain spaces.
In the PayPal.me link field, enter your entire PayPal.me link in the format,
paypal.me/code.Complete the short survey, agree to the terms of service, and click Get your affiliate link.
You can view the Affiliate Dashboard that has your affiliate link.
By registering for the affiliate program, you can earn a 20% commission on all your referrals from your affiliate link for 24 months.
What happens when someone registers using an affiliate link?
For each visitor that signs up to Make using your affiliate link and makes the payment for a plan, you will earn 20% of their payments for the next 24 months.
The 24-month time period starts right after an organization registers with the affiliate link.
Example
An organization registers with an affiliate link on June 1, 2023.
The organization starts paying Make on January 1, 2024 and they continue to pay for the next five years.
The affiliate partner will get 20% of every payment between the period of June 1, 2023 and June 1, 2025.
Viewing affiliate statistics and commissions
Affiliates can view their affiliate link, commission information, and user statistics from the affiliate dashboard. The dashboard also lets you define specific dates to filter statistics such as registrations and rewards.
The dashboard has the following:
Earning panel: Displays the total earnings, balance amount, minimum payout, and organizations required to qualify for receiving the commission. Affiliates can click Request payout to receive the commission.
Note
If one of your commissions receives a refund, the dashboard reflects this change in your earnings. For example: Someone uses your link and purchases an annual plan. They then decide they want a monthly plan and contact Make. Make refunds them and adjusts your earnings.
Your affiliate link: Affiliates share this link with their users for registering or upgrading to Make.
Orgs. brought: Displays the number of organizations and users registered using the affiliate's referral link.
Conversion rate: Displays data on both paid (registration vs. paid) and overall (clicks vs. registrations) conversion rates.
User and Organization toggle: Switches the statistics between users and organizations.
Affiliate settings button: Opens a dialogue to change settings such as your PayPalMe link.
Date filter: Defines the date range for the statistics shown on the dashboard.
Registrations and rewards chart: Color-coded line graph of registrations and rewards earned.
Changing the timeframe of data shown
The affiliate dashboard displays statistics for the past 30 days by default. The date filter lets you customize the range of dates for the data displayed on your dashboard. You can define both the start and end date and view the statistics for that period of time. This flexibility lets you analyze trends in more detail from your dashboard.
Go to your affiliate dashboard.
Click on the
Date filter.Define the Date from and Date to by clicking on the field and using the calendar to select a date.
Click Apply.
You can now see the dates in the following places on your dashboard:
Earning panel

Using a shortened link to get source statistics
The Make Affiliate Program lets you use shortened links, such as TinyURL, and still get information about the source of your users and organizations. You can add the query parameter affiliateSource and any value that you define. Create as many short URLs as you like to get statistics for registrations through a specific website, campaign, or any other source you like.
Copy-paste your affiliate link into TinyURL or similar.

Create your short URL.
Share your shortened URL to get information for new registrations via a specific site or campaign.
Information about each specific sources appears in your Affiliate dashboard.
Getting Payments
Affiliate commissions are paid only through PayPal.me.

At the moment, Make does not support other payment methods.
To get your first commission, you have to bring three unique customers.
The minimum payout amount is $100. When an affiliate reaches $100, they will receive the payout.

Update your PayPal information
The Affiliate settings window also lets you update your PayPal.Me link.
Go to the Affiliate dashboard.

A dialog opens displaying your current PayPal information. Enter your PayPal.me information in the PayPal.me link field.
