How the Claudphic Ads Affiliate Program Works

If you run an agency, consult on paid ads, or simply know businesses that need this, the affiliate program pays you a share of what your referrals spend — not once, but on every payment they make for as long as they stay.

How it works

  1. Apply at /affiliate/apply. It is a short form and a real person reads it.
  2. Get approved and receive your referral link plus a dashboard reachable by a private URL — no extra login to remember.
  3. Share the link. Anyone who signs up after clicking it is attributed to you.
  4. Earn on every payment they make, at the standard rate of 30%.

How attribution actually works

A click on your link records the referral, and it stays with that visitor for 30 days. If they sign up two weeks later, the referral still counts — people rarely evaluate a CRM in one sitting. Past 30 days it has expired, and a signup after that is not attributed to anyone.

Two limits worth stating plainly, because every referral system has them and most do not say so:

  • Attribution lives in the visitor's browser. Someone who clicks your link on a phone and signs up on a laptop will not be attributed, and no referral system built this way can solve that.
  • If someone clicks another affiliate's link after yours and then signs up, the more recent click wins.

When commission is earned

A commission is created when a referral makes a successful payment, not when they sign up. A free trial that never converts earns nothing, which is the honest arrangement — nobody has been paid at that point.

Each payment earns its own commission record — the first one, any upgrade, and every renewal after that — so your dashboard shows a row per payment rather than a single figure per customer, and says which of the three each one came from.

The rate is snapshotted onto each commission when it is created, so a rate change later never retroactively alters what you have already earned.

One condition worth stating: commission is only created while your affiliate account is approved. If an account is suspended, commissions already earned stand, but no new ones are created for payments made during the suspension.

What the 30% is calculated on

Commission is 30% of the payment excluding GST, not of the total charged. Plan prices are quoted exclusive of GST, so a ₹999 plan is charged at ₹1,178.82 (₹999 + ₹179.82 GST). Your commission is 30% of the ₹999, which is ₹299.70 — not 30% of the ₹1,178.82 total.

The reason is simple: the GST portion is tax collected on the government's behalf and paid straight to them. It is never revenue, so paying a share of it would mean paying out money that was never ours. Every commission record shows the amount it was calculated from, so you can check the arithmetic rather than take our word for it.

Refunds and cancellations. Commission follows real revenue. If a referral is refunded within the refund window, the commission on that payment does not stand — you are not paid on money the business did not keep. If it has not been paid out yet it is simply voided; if it has already reached you, the amount is settled against your next payout or arranged with you directly. Ongoing commission stops when they stop paying, and commissions earned before that are unaffected.

Getting paid

Your dashboard shows referrals, commissions earned, and what has been paid. Payouts are processed manually against that record, which means a real person checks it rather than an automated transfer firing on a schedule.

Bookmark the dashboard URL when you receive it. It is your access — treat it like a password, and do not post it anywhere public.

What works, and what does not

This product sells to businesses spending real money on Google and Meta ads who cannot currently tell which of those ads produce customers. That is a specific problem, and referrals from people who recognise it convert well.

Broad link-dropping does not. Neither does positioning it as a general CRM — against Zoho on features and price that is a losing argument, and a referral who signs up expecting a general-purpose CRM tends to cancel, which pays you for one month and costs you a relationship.

The pitch that works is narrow: it tells you which ad made you money.
