Referral & Affiliate Program Updates
We’ve rewritten the commission sections of the Creator Referral & Affiliate Program so that it sets out exactly which revenue earns referral commission, how long the attribution window runs, and how affiliate commission works on Fanvue Checkout sales.
What’s changed?
Creator Referral & Affiliate Program
- Introduced a defined Qualifying Revenue concept listing the revenue that earns referral commission: tips, paid messages and pay-per-view unlocks, paid posts and content unlocks (including Media Links), profile subscriptions and their renewals, and Fanvue App Store purchases.
- Set out what does not earn referral commission, including Fanvue Checkout sales, commission earned by the referred Creator, Promotional Credits and giveaways, and transactions with a zero net value such as free trials and fully discounted purchases.
- Documented the attribution window in full: 36 months for Creators who registered before 9th April 2026, and 12 months for Creators who registered on or after that date.
- Confirmed that attribution requires the referral link or code to be applied at registration, and that commission does not accrue while a Referring User’s account is suspended, banned, or closed.
- Confirmed that affiliate commission applies to purchases made through the Promoted Creator’s Checkout Links, and that it is calculated on the Promoted Creator’s net proceeds after Fanvue Checkout fees.
Fanvue Checkout Seller Terms
- Added Section 6.1.7 confirming how referral and affiliate commission apply to Fanvue Checkout sales.
Creator Terms & Conditions
- Aligned Section 6 with the Qualifying Revenue definition and the attribution window.
Why?
The Program now spells out in one place what earns commission and for how long, so you can see what a referral is worth without cross-referencing other policies. The 36-month window for earlier referrals is written down for the first time, and the commission rate and cap are unchanged.
