Earn on paying referrals
When a shop you referred signs up and becomes a paying customer, you earn a commission. Referral tracking and a partner dashboard land when the program tool goes live.
What you earn
These are the program terms. They are not an earnings promise — what you actually make depends on who you refer — and they are restated in the affiliate agreement you sign when you're approved.

Disclosure & program terms outline
We run this straight. Read the ground rules before you apply — the full terms live in the signed affiliate agreement.
- Disclose the relationship. If you promote Service VIN for commission, you must clearly tell your audience it's a paid/affiliate relationship — that's required under the FTC endorsement guides (US) and the Competition Bureau's rules on material connections (Canada). No astroturfing, no fake reviews.
- No earnings guarantees. Nothing here promises income. What you make depends on who you actually refer and whether they subscribe and stay. The chart on this page is illustrative, not a forecast.
- New paying shops only. Commission is earned on genuinely new shops that become paying Service VIN customers through your link — not on existing customers, trials that never convert, or refunds/chargebacks.
- A 30-day hold before payout. Commission sits pending for 30 days before it becomes payable. That window is what absorbs refunds and chargebacks, so we're not chasing you for money already sent. It's the standard arrangement across SaaS affiliate programs.
- No self-referrals. You can't earn by signing up your own shop or subscribing under your own link. The affiliate agreement spells out the self-referral rule in full.
- Terms are set by the signed agreement. The commission rate, cookie window, payout schedule and threshold shown above are the published program terms. The binding numbers for your account are the ones in the affiliate agreement you sign at approval. We may change the published terms on notice; a change doesn't alter an agreement already signed.
Why Service VIN converts
You'll refer better when you believe the product. These are the things shops feel in the first week.

Program questions, answered
Who can join the Service VIN affiliate program?
Anyone with a genuine audience of auto detailing, PPF, wrap, tint or ceramic shop owners — creators, consultants, trainers, suppliers and existing customers. We review applications to keep the program relevant and honest; we're not looking for spammy coupon or incentive traffic.
How and when do affiliates get paid?
Commission is earned when a shop you referred becomes a paying Service VIN customer. The program pays a 20% recurring share of that shop's subscription for as long as they stay paying, paid out monthly once you clear a $50 minimum balance. Commission is held for 30 days before it becomes payable, which is what covers refunds and chargebacks — standard practice, and it means we never claw back money you've already been paid. Your rate, schedule, threshold and payout method are set out in the affiliate agreement you sign at approval, and that agreement is what governs your account.
How are referrals tracked?
You'll get a unique referral link. Referrals are attributed through that link within the program's 60-day cookie window. We'll share your tracking details and partner dashboard access when your application is approved.
Can I refer my own shop or sign up under my own link?
Self-referrals aren't eligible — the program rewards bringing new shops to Service VIN, not discounting your own subscription. The affiliate agreement spells out the self-referral rule in full.
How long is the cookie window?
60 days from the click. We publish the number rather than leave it vague, and it's restated in the affiliate agreement you sign at approval.
