Attribution window, payout terms and approval time researched on August 26, 2026.
Comparison notes rewritten on August 26, 2026.
Mechanics rows (route in, payment delay/schedule, minimum payout, payout form, self-referral, customer requirement, clawback, where it pays, approval) and the tiered commission rate filled from ActiveCampaign's affiliate page and Affiliate Partner Agreement on September 27, 2026.
Checked the affiliate page and the Affiliate Partner Agreement on September 27, 2026 for any incentive given to the referred customer and found none stated, so the customer incentive question is recorded as a checked blank rather than left open.
Corrected the payout description on September 27, 2026: the prior text named Silver, Gold and Platinum tiers with $500 and $2,000 MRR thresholds, but the live affiliate page states only that commission climbs from 20% to 30% based on new business and retention, with no tier names or dollar thresholds published.
Read, and not published
ActiveCampaign’s own material was read on these and says nothing. That is the answer: a program that does not state a term is not bound by one.

The re-verification note
We read ActiveCampaign's terms on 2026-08-22. Programs change a rate, a cookie window or a payment threshold without announcing it — we re-read them and send one note a week saying what moved.
One note a week, every figure dated and linked to its source. Unsubscribe in one click; we never sell or share the address.
