Affiliate program questions
Who can become a Docsie affiliate?
Bloggers, YouTubers, newsletter writers, software review and comparison sites, software affiliates and creators who recommend Docsie to their audience. You don't need a Docsie account to apply.
Do I need a Docsie account?
Not to apply. Once you're approved, sign in at app.docsie.io/affiliates/ with the email you applied with. Signing in with a new email creates a free Docsie account. Your link and your dashboard are there.
What commission can I ask for?
You choose. Enter the percentage of each payment you want and for how many months per customer, from 1 to 120. Our standard terms are 25% of every payment for 12 months. Tell us why we should agree: your audience, how you'll promote Docsie and how many customers you expect.
How are applications reviewed?
We read every application ourselves and reply by email. If we approve it, you sign in with the same email to get your link.
How long after a click does a signup count?
60 days. Anyone who creates a new Docsie account within 60 days of clicking your link is your referral. Accounts that existed before the click don't count, even if they upgrade later.
Which payments earn commission?
Every successful payment your referred customer makes during your term: plans, AI credit packs and video-to-docs unlocks. Your term starts at the customer's first payment. A monthly plan earns on each monthly payment in that term. An annual plan paid up front earns your percentage of the full yearly payment, once.
When and how do I get paid?
Choose Stripe Connect, Wise, PayPal or wire transfer. Payouts are monthly once your balance reaches $50, after a 30-day hold for refunds. Wise, PayPal and wire transfers are processed manually by Docsie. Commissions are tracked in US dollars.
Which countries can receive payouts?
Stripe Connect supports bank accounts in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and the European Economic Area. For Wise, PayPal and wire transfers, we confirm availability for your country and recipient account before payment.
What about identity checks and taxes?
Stripe handles identity checks for Stripe Connect payouts. For Wise, PayPal and wire transfers, Docsie confirms the recipient and any required tax information before payment.
What happens when a customer gets a refund?
A refund before your payout reduces or cancels that commission. A refund after your payout is deducted from your next payout. A disputed payment earns nothing.
Do the people I refer get a discount?
No. There are no coupon codes. Your link is what tracks your referrals.
Can I refer myself or my own company?
No. Signups from your own email address, or from an organization you own or belong to, don't count.
We resell, distribute or implement software for organizations. Is this the right program?
No, the partner program is. It's for resellers and distributors, systems integrators and consultancies, and technology and ISV partners who sell, distribute or implement Docsie Enterprise, with terms agreed per partner. See the partner program →
