Important
Tiered 20-55% is attractive with high ceiling, but requires 200+ annual referrals to reach 55%. Realistic ceiling for most creators is 30-40% tier. No mailing list requirement is rare. Paid ads allowed increases scaling potential.
Payout frequency and method not published. Minimum payout threshold not disclosed. Attribution window not stated. Cannot undercut official pricing is notable restriction. Affiliate support and co-marketing resources not documented.
What you would be selling
A recurring tiered commission (20-55%) on checkout-platform signups for course creators, paid monthly for the life of the subscription, where the top 55% tier requires volume most affiliates won't reach.
ThriveCart 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.
