Lemon Squeezy 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.

September 27, 2026: https://www.lemonsqueezy.com/affiliates returned HTTP 404 on direct fetch — no working Lemon Squeezy-run affiliate/referral program page exists.
September 27, 2026: https://docs.lemonsqueezy.com/help/affiliates and https://www.lemonsqueezy.com/blog/affiliates-from-lemon-squeezy describe only the Affiliate Hub feature that lets MERCHANTS on Lemon Squeezy run affiliate programs for their OWN products (e.g. chatgpt-toolbox.lemonsqueezy.com/affiliates) — not a program for referring new merchants to Lemon Squeezy itself.
No first-hand source found stating Lemon Squeezy pays commission for referring new merchants to its own platform; the previously recorded 30% recurring commission and lemonsqueezy.com/affiliates enrollment could not be verified and appear to have been confused with the merchant-side affiliate feature.
Lemon Squeezy was acquired by Stripe (announced 2024); as of September 27, 2026 the site frames this as 'Lemon Squeezy + Stripe Managed Payments' rather than a shutdown, but this does not bear on whether a Lemon Squeezy-run affiliate program exists.
Prior entries (30% recurring, direct enrollment) removed September 27, 2026 as unverifiable; fields set to null pending a genuine first-hand source.
