Welcome to the MoonFactory Affiliate Program

Earn commissions by introducing people to MoonFactory. When someone you refer becomes a paying client, you get a percentage of what they pay — for as long as they stay a client.

This guide walks you through what the program is, how it works, and what's expected of you.

What is the MoonFactory Affiliate Program?

It's our partnership program for people who want to recommend MoonFactory and get paid when those recommendations turn into clients. Bloggers, consultants, freelancers, agency owners, podcast hosts, satisfied clients — anyone who's well-positioned to introduce MoonFactory to a good fit can apply.

You don't need a huge audience. You need an honest one.

How it works (in plain terms)

1. Apply. Submit an application telling us a bit about you and how you'd promote MoonFactory.
2. Get approved. Our team reviews applications and emails you back with a decision.
3. Set up your account. Sign in for the first time, set up two-factor authentication, and add your payout details when you're ready.
4. Share your tracking link. Your dashboard gives you a unique link (something like r.moonfactory.dev/yourname) that identifies you as the referrer.
5. Earn commissions. When someone clicks your link and later becomes a paying MoonFactory client, you earn a commission on what they pay us.
6. Get paid. Cleared commissions are paid out on a regular schedule through our secure payment partner.

That's the whole loop. Everything else in this documentation is the detail underneath those six steps.

How commissions are calculated

Your commission is a percentage of what your referred clients actually pay MoonFactory. The exact rate is set individually for your account and shown on your dashboard.

A few things to know:

• Rates can be adjusted over time. A rate change is forward-looking only — it never alters commissions you've already earned.
• You earn on what's paid, not what's invoiced. If a client pays only part of an invoice, you earn commission on the paid portion. When the rest is paid, you earn commission on that too.
• Annual subscriptions are spread out. If a client signs up for an annual plan paid up front, your commission accrues monthly across the twelve months of that subscription rather than all at once.
• Multiple currencies are supported. Commissions on invoices in non-USD currencies are recorded in the invoice currency and converted using the exchange rate at the time the commission is earned.

When you get paid

Each commission goes through a short journey before it lands in your bank account:

1. Accrued — A referred client has paid an invoice and your commission is recorded.
2. Cleared — Thirty days have passed without a refund, chargeback, or fraud flag. The commission is now eligible for payout.
3. Paid — The commission has been included in a completed payout to your account.

The 30-day holding period exists to protect both sides — if a referred client refunds during that window, the commission is cancelled before money moves rather than clawed back after.

A minimum payout threshold applies so small balances don't get eaten by transfer fees. If your cleared balance is below the threshold, it carries forward to the next payout cycle. The exact threshold is shown on your Payouts page.

For full details on payouts, see the payouts guide.

What's expected of you

Two things matter most:

1. Honest, accurate marketing

Describe MoonFactory truthfully. Don't promise outcomes we don't deliver, don't misrepresent pricing or features, and don't make claims about results that aren't realistic. People you refer should know what they're getting.

2. Clear FTC disclosure

US Federal Trade Commission rules require you to clearly disclose your affiliate relationship anywhere you promote MoonFactory — blog posts, social media, newsletters, videos, podcasts. The disclosure has to be visible up front, not hidden in a footer or buried in hashtags.

This isn't optional and isn't just a nice-to-have. It's the law, we run regular automated checks, and repeated non-compliance leads to consequences. The good news: doing it right is genuinely simple. See the FTC compliance guide for examples and patterns.

Who can join

We accept applications from people and businesses worldwide. To be approved, you generally need:

• A genuine audience or platform where MoonFactory would be a fit (blog, podcast, newsletter, professional network, agency client base, social following — any of these or a combination)
• A track record of honest, ethical promotion
• Compliance with US FTC disclosure rules (or your local equivalent if outside the US)
• A valid email address, willingness to set up two-factor authentication, and willingness to provide tax information when your earnings approach reportable thresholds

You cannot earn commissions on your own MoonFactory invoices — self-referrals don't count. Being both a client and an affiliate is fine; we keep the two accounts separate. You also can't bid on MoonFactory's branded search terms in paid ads without prior written approval, run cookie-stuffing schemes, send unsolicited bulk email, or otherwise game the attribution system. Doing any of that is grounds for termination.
