Get paid 30% of every invoice you send our way.

Not 30% of the first month. 30% of every payment that customer makes for a full year, excluding tax — monthly or annual, upgrades included. Refer as many as you like; there is no cap on how many, and none on what you earn.

30%
of every payment

Not the first month. Every invoice the customer pays, monthly or annual, excluding tax.

12 mo
per referred customer

The commission clock runs a full year from their first payment.

No cap
on referrals or earnings

One a year or fifty a month — the rate never steps down.

Once they accept cookies, the click is remembered for a month. Sign up inside it and it is still yours.

01 — What it pays

Drag it and see.

Commission is 30% of what the customer pays, so the plan they land on matters more than the number of them. These are real DDMARC prices, not illustrative ones.

130
The plan they usually pick

Assumes referred customers stay subscribed. Commission runs for 12 months per customer, then that customer stops paying you and keeps paying us.

Monthly income after a year
$745

The run rate once 12 monthly cohorts overlap: 3 customers a month × $21 × 12 months each.

Per referred customer, monthly$21
One month's cohort, monthly$62
Earned across the first year$4,844
The assumption worth checking

These figures assume every referral stays subscribed for the full 12 months. Real churn will pull them down — read this as a ceiling, not a forecast.

02 — Illustrative scenarios, not actual affiliates

Three people, three sets of numbers.

Newsletter writer
One issue, one direct recommendation

A security newsletter mentions the free checker once. Forty readers run it, six of them do not like what they see and subscribe to Protect.

$52a month, once it settles
6 × Protect × 30%
Web studio
Added to the launch checklist

Every site the studio ships gets a DMARC check before handover. Three clients a month take the recommendation and land on Growth.

$745a month, once it settles
3/mo × Growth × 30% × 12 months of overlap
Course creator
One lesson, permanently linked

A deliverability course links DDMARC from the authentication module. Ten signups a month, mostly agencies who need more than five domains.

$3,564a month, once it settles
10/mo × Professional × 30% × 12 months of overlap
03 — Why people sign up

The hard part of the sale is already done.

You are not asking anyone to change how they work or to sit through a demo. You are pointing them at a free checker that tells them who can send as their company today.

01
The free checker does the persuading
Point someone at the domain checker and it tells them, in their own words, that anyone can send email as their company. You do not have to make that argument yourself.
02
It is a real problem with a deadline
Google and Yahoo now require DMARC from bulk senders, and insurers ask about it. This is on people’s lists already — you are shortening the search, not creating the need.
03
The entry price is $29
No procurement, no committee. It clears on a company card without a purchase order.
04
It is dull software people keep
Monitoring that quietly works does not get canceled in the annual tool cull, but we have no retention data to share yet — treat the twelve-month commission window as the maximum, not the norm.
04 — How it works

Four steps, none of them a phone call.

01
Apply

Tell us where you would share your link — a blog, a newsletter, client work, whatever it is. We review every application by hand.

02
Accept the agreement

Approved applicants get an invite to accept the Partner Referral Agreement in the partner portal at partners.platops.com. Your link goes live the moment you accept it.

03
They sign up within 30 days

Once they accept cookies, the click is remembered for a month — last click wins if they followed someone else's link first. The account has to be created inside that window to count at all.

04
Get paid every month

Commission accrues as they pay, held 30 days so a refund can still reverse it. What has cleared lands on a monthly statement — you invoice us, and we pay by bank transfer or PayPal.

05 — The terms, in plain English

Everything that decides what lands in your account.

Commission rate30% of every payment a referred customer makes, excluding tax, for 12 months from their first payment. The rate does not change with volume, in either direction.
What earnsDirect paid plans only — Protect, Growth, Professional and Enterprise. The free Monitor plan earns nothing because it costs nothing, and a wholesale Partner Starter or Partner account earns nothing either, because that customer already bills through a partner.
AttributionA ?ref= link sets a 30-day cookie once the visitor accepts cookies; last click wins if more than one affiliate's link was clicked. The account has to be created inside that window, and its first payment has to land within 12 months of signup — a signup that never converts, or converts after that, earns nothing.
CapsNo limit on how many customers you refer and no ceiling on monthly earnings. The one limit is time: 12 months of commission per customer, as above.
JoiningApply below. We review every application by hand, and an approved application gets an invite to accept the Partner Referral Agreement in the partner portal — that agreement, not this page, is what governs the relationship once you accept it.
Payment scheduleEach commission is held 30 days after the customer pays, so a refund or chargeback resolves before it is owed. What has cleared goes on a monthly statement.
Getting paidYou invoice us against that statement; payment goes out by bank transfer or PayPal. A $50 minimum applies — a lower balance carries forward instead of being lost. We need a completed W-9 (US affiliates) or W-8 (everyone else) on file before your first payout.
Ending itLeave whenever you like and any cleared balance is still paid out once you invoice it. We can close an account for a breach of the rules below, which forfeits unpaid commission.

This page states the terms; the Partner Referral Agreement you accept in the partner portal is what governs the relationship once you join. Nothing here is a change to our general terms.

06 — Where the line is

Seven things that end an account.

Short list, and each one has a reason attached, not just a prohibition. Breaking any of them closes the account and forfeits unpaid commission.

Bidding on our brand

No paid search on “DDMARC” or close variants, and no ads that appear above our own listing for our own name. Paid search on generic terms is fine.

Referring yourself

Your own account, your employer’s, or a company you control does not earn commission. Neither does an account you sign up on a client’s behalf using your own link and their card.

Discounts that do not exist

No coupon-site listings promising a code we have not issued. Sending someone hunting for a phantom discount costs us a sale and you a commission.

Unsolicited email

No cold blasts, no purchased lists, no scraped addresses. We are a company that exists to make email trustworthy; being the source of spam is not survivable for us.

Pretending to be us

No lookalike domains, no “official DDMARC” claims, no support pages that imply you work here. Say you are an affiliate.

Inventing facts

No prices, guarantees, compliance claims or feature promises we have not published. If it is not on our site, do not put it in your post.

Not disclosing the relationship

Disclose that you are an affiliate clearly, wherever you link us — the FTC Endorsement Guides, the UK CAP Code and the ACCC all require it, and an undisclosed link is the fastest way to lose the account that earned it.

We review affiliate placements periodically and end the commission on any undisclosed or misleading promotion.

07 — Which one are you

Refer, or resell. Not the same program.

If you want a commission payment, you are an affiliate. If you want to own the client relationship and bill them yourself, you want the Partner Program — which has no revenue share, because you set the retail price and keep the margin.

You are here
Affiliate

You send people to us. We handle the sale, the billing and the support, and pay you a share.

Customer buys from DDMARC directly, at list price
30% of everything they pay, for 12 months
Apply once, then send people whenever you like
You never touch invoices, support or DNS
The other track
Partner

You buy at wholesale and sell at your own price. The client is yours — we never appear on their invoice.

You bill the client, at whatever you decide to charge
No revenue share — the margin is the whole point
White-label dashboard, multi-tenant, from $119/mo
You own the client relationship and first-line support

You can be both, on different clients. What you cannot do is earn affiliate commission on a domain you already bill through a partner plan — it is the same customer twice.

One link. 30%. 12 months.

Apply, accept the agreement once invited, share the link, and get paid monthly on everything the people you send us spend.
