Affiliates

Apply, share your referral link, and understand recurring commissions and payouts.

Open Affiliates

The PirateSERP affiliate program pays a recurring commission on the subscriptions of customers you refer. You manage your application, referral link, and payout history on the Affiliates page of your PirateSERP account, with no separate affiliate login.

Apply to the program

  1. Sign in and verify your email address.
  2. Open Affiliates.
  3. Read Program terms and the linked affiliate terms.
  4. Enter an email address or provider reference in Payment contact or provider reference. Do not enter bank account details.
  5. Select the terms acceptance checkbox.
  6. Click Apply to become an affiliate.

The application requires approval before your referral link becomes available. Check the status badge next to Your account. When applications are closed, the page says so in place of the application form.

A paid subscription is not required to apply. Your account must remain eligible to use the program.

After approval, Your referral link shows your link and your count of verified referrals. Click Copy referral link and share that exact link, so the customer reaches signup with your referral code included.

Disclose your affiliate relationship when promoting PirateSERP. Follow the affiliate terms.

Referrals apply to eligible new customers. You cannot refer yourself or attach a code to an account that has already started billing. An account cannot switch between affiliates after its referral is attached.

If a new customer missed the link, they can open Affiliates, enter your code under Were you referred?, and click Apply referral code. They must do this soon after creating their account and before billing starts; the full affiliate terms state the exact window. Free lifetime deal (LTD) accounts are not eligible referred purchases.

Understand your commission

The program pays the percentage shown in the Of each eligible recurring payment tile on the Affiliates page for each eligible recurring subscription payment. Each successful eligible renewal can earn another commission.

Commissions use eligible revenue actually collected after discounts, excluding tax. Free access, zero-value payments, and free LTD access do not earn commissions. Refunds and chargebacks reduce earnings, including after a payout.

Each commission has a separate hold, starting from its payment date, for the number of days shown in the Hold before earnings become available tile. A renewal starts its own hold. The end of a hold does not trigger an automatic payment.

For example, an eligible $50 payment earns $15 before any refund or chargeback adjustments. That commission becomes available after its own hold ends.

Program terms, at the top of the page, shows the current rate, hold, payout minimum, and terms version. Program changes can affect later payments; each recorded commission keeps the rules in force on its payment date.

Read your balances

BalanceWhat it tells you
HeldEarnings still within their payment hold.
AvailableEarnings available for payout review after holds and adjustments.
ReservedEarnings assigned to a payout batch that is not yet completed.
PaidCompleted payouts recorded for your account.
ReversedCommission reductions from refunds or chargebacks.

Payout review requires the amount of available earnings shown in the Available earnings needed to get paid tile. Held and reserved amounts do not count toward that minimum. Progress to payout compares your available earnings with the minimum. The account owner reviews payouts manually; the page has no withdrawal button, and payouts have no guaranteed date.

Use Commission history to check amounts and availability dates. Use Payout history to check each payout's amount and status.

Update your payment contact

Enter the replacement under Payment contact, then click Update payment contact. The change applies to future payout batches; a batch already reserved keeps its original contact.

PirateSERP emails your account address after every payment contact change. If you did not make the change, reset your password and contact support. A rejected or suspended affiliate account cannot change its payment contact; contact support instead.

Resolve a problem

  • If email verification blocks access, verify the address used for your PirateSERP account.
  • If your link is unavailable, check your application status.
  • If a code is rejected, confirm that the customer is new, has not started billing, and has no existing referral.
  • If a payout is refused because available earnings are below the minimum, wait for more eligible commissions to finish their holds.
  • If your account is suspended, new referrals and payouts stop. Existing valid referrals remain subject to review and adjustments.

For an account or payout question, contact PirateSERP support. Include the relevant dates and amounts, without sending passwords or payment credentials.
