How It Works

Four steps from signup to payout.

  1. 1

    Get Your Referral Link

    Sign up for free and receive a unique referral URL like smarfle.com/ref/yourname. Create multiple codes for different campaigns.

  2. 2

    Share With Service Businesses

    Send your link to HVAC companies, plumbers, electricians, cleaners, and other service businesses. A 90-day cookie ensures attribution.

  3. 3

    Earn on Every Payment

    When a referral subscribes, you earn 15-25% of every subscription payment for 12 full months. Rate scales with your tier - more paying customers = higher commission.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I earn?

You earn 15-25% of every subscription payment for 12 months, depending on your affiliate tier. New affiliates start at Growth (15%). At 5 active paying customers you reach Pro (20%). At 15 paying customers you hit Elite (25%). A single Business-tier referral ($349/mo) at Elite generates $87.25/month or over $1,000 across the 12-month commission period. No cap on referrals.

What are the tier levels?

Three tiers based on currently paying referred customers (not raw signups). Growth (15%) is the default. Pro (20%) unlocks at 5 active paying customers. Elite (25%) unlocks at 15. The tier is recomputed nightly based on which of your referred businesses currently have an active Smarfle subscription - quality metric, not vanity. If a customer cancels, the count adjusts; your forward commission rate adjusts with it. Past commissions stay at the rate they were earned at.

How long does the tracking cookie last?

The referral cookie persists for 90 days. If someone clicks your link today and subscribes 60 days later, you still receive full credit for the referral.

When and how do I get paid?

Commissions enter a pending state for 30 days after each payment, then move to held for verification, then become available for payout. Automatic transfers deposit earnings to your Stripe Connect Express account on a regular schedule.

Is there a cost to join?

The program is completely free. No signup fees, monthly charges, or minimum referral requirements. You only need a Stripe Connect Express account to receive payouts.

Who is the best fit for this program?

Consultants, agencies, industry bloggers, and anyone who regularly recommends software to service businesses. If you work with HVAC companies, plumbers, electricians, cleaners, or similar trades, this program is designed for you.

Can I track my referrals in real time?

Yes. Your affiliate dashboard shows every referral, their subscription status, commission amounts, payout history, and which referral code they used. Filter by date, status, or campaign.
