Affiliate program

Earn 15 % recurring on every writer you refer.

For as long as they stay subscribed. Chaptora credits a share of the net price of every paid month, not a one-off payment for the sign-up. The calculator works out what a given number of Referred users is worth per month.

How it works

  1. Apply

    One form, read by hand. We answer every application by email, and an accepted application carries your Affiliate code and your link.

  2. Share your link

    Your Affiliate code never changes. Add it to any Chaptora address as ?via=your-code and it counts on every public page, not only the start page.

  3. Get paid

    A Commission becomes due after a 30-day pending period. With at least $100 due at month-end, we initiate payment by the 15th of the following month and send the Payout statement.

Questions

How long does my link count?

A visitor carries your Affiliate code for 60 days. Of the eligible links before the first successful purchase, the last one wins. A writer with no link selection can enter your code at payment. Once a purchase succeeds, later links or codes cannot transfer your Commissions.

What if they sign up now and pay much later?

You still earn. There is no purchase deadline: a Referred user who upgrades years after signing up still earns Commissions for you, every month they stay subscribed. Only the paid plans Quarto and Folio earn Commissions, so a Referred user on the free plan earns nothing until they upgrade.

When is a Commission actually mine?

A Commission is pending for 30 days after its billing period starts. If the plan lapses inside that window, through a failed payment, a refund or a downgrade, the Commission is void and never paid. After 30 days it is due and waits for the next Payout.

When do you pay out?

With at least $100 due at month-end, we initiate payment by the 15th of the following month. Payouts cover all due Commissions by bank transfer, PayPal or Wise. Chaptora chooses USD or EUR. Actual provider fees may be deducted transparently, without a Chaptora markup; smaller balances carry forward.

What is the Payout statement?

A self-billed document, a Gutschrift under § 11 Abs. 8 UStG, that Chaptora issues on your behalf. It lists every Commission it covers, the USD total, the exchange rate, the EUR amount and the VAT treatment that follows from your tax status and your country. You separately agree to self-billing when applying.

Does my audience get anything?

Yes. Every Affiliate carries an individually agreed Referral discount: a percentage off an eligible first payment, whether the writer follows your link or enters your code at payment. It applies to that first payment in either billing cycle. The value at checkout is the one that counts.

Can I refer myself?

No. Your own email address is not a Referred user; purchases through alternate accounts or your own business also earn nothing. An Affiliate is not a Chaptora account. Updates arrive by email; optionally connect your affiliate email under Affiliates in a free Chaptora account to view referrals, earnings and statements.

Where do I find the Affiliate Terms?

Part B of our combined Terms explains attribution, commissions, payouts, fees, promotion and termination. The current 15 % rate may change for future periods, including existing referrals, with 30 calendar days’ advance email notice and any legally required consent. Already-earned Commissions keep their original rate. Read the full agreement before applying.
