Important
Program is real and live but runs through Impact, not direct enrollment; the public page does not publish an exact rate card, only illustrative figures repeated by third-party affiliate directories. US-only restriction limits global reach.
Exact commission tiers, minimum payout threshold, and clawback/chargeback policy are gated behind Impact application approval and are not published on the public affiliates page.

What you would be selling

A live, Impact-run affiliate program for a mainstream US payroll/HR brand, paying a $100+ flat bounty per business customer with a long 120-day cookie, but restricted to US customers with no published rate card or recurring component.

Gusto is one brand with 3 products, bought by different people. What one converted customer is worth cannot be worked out for any of them: that needs a rate, a plan price and a commission window, and this program does not publish all three.

Gusto Affiliate Program (application page) ↗Gusto Affiliate Program - Commission & Program Details ↗Gusto Official Website ↗
Gusto Affiliate Program landing page reconfirmed live at gusto.com/affiliates; direct automated fetch is blocked with HTTP 403, page content confirmed instead via cached search-index snippet
Program runs through the Impact affiliate network rather than in-house enrollment; corrected from the prior record, which had listed enroll as direct with no network
Commission figures of $100+ per business customer, roughly $50 per accountant lead, and a 120-day cookie are repeated across third-party affiliate directories describing the Impact-run program, not a rate card published on gusto.com/affiliates itself
The previously recorded flat $300 payout belongs to a separate, unrelated Gusto customer-referral program documented at support.gusto.com for existing Gusto customers referring friends, not the affiliate/publisher program, and has been removed from this record
Prior verification from late August was superseded by this re-check
On September 27, 2026, attempted direct verification of payment delay, payment schedule, minimum payout, payout form, self-referral policy, customer-status requirement, clawback policy, and approval turnaround by fetching gusto.com/affiliates; the automated fetch was again blocked with HTTP 403 and no Wayback Machine snapshot of the page exists to check instead, so these terms remain unconfirmed from a first-party source and are left null rather than filled from conflicting third-party affiliate directories, which disagree with each other on cookie length (30 versus 120 days) and flat payout amount ($100 plus versus $200)
Read, and not published
Gusto’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 Gusto's terms on 2026-09-26. 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.
