What the Thinkific Affiliate Program is
Thinkific runs the Thinkific Affiliate Program.
This page covers only what Thinkific's affiliate page states. It does not judge the program or promise any income.
Commission, as Thinkific's affiliate page states it
Thinkific's affiliate page says it pays a 30% lifetime recurring commission on monthly or annual paid plans.
Two things stand out in that line. The commission is recurring, so it keeps applying as the referred customer keeps paying. And it applies to paid plans, monthly or annual. Read the full terms on Thinkific's page, since it is the source for what counts and what does not.
Referral cookie window
Thinkific's affiliate page says its referral cookie is valid for 90 days.
The referral cookie is the marker a click leaves in the reader's browser. It tells Thinkific who sent the reader. The 90 days is how long that marker counts for you. To learn how windows work in general, see what a cookie window is.
Payout schedule and cash-out options
Thinkific's affiliate page says commissions are paid on the 13th of the month after a 30-day hold.
The same page says commissions can be cashed out by PayPal or Stripe, with a $25 minimum.
So three numbers shape the payout. The hold lasts 30 days. The payment goes out on the 13th of the month. And you need at least $25 before you can cash out. For how payout terms work across programs, see how affiliate payouts are sent.
The platform the program runs on
Thinkific's affiliate page says the program runs on the PartnerStack affiliate platform.
