Important
Program is real and active but the old wave.com/en/affiliates URL is dead and the previously recorded 30%/12-month terms are unverifiable; the live page (waveapps.com/affiliate) discloses no rate at all.
Commission rate, attribution window, minimum payout, and clawback terms are not published; only visible after applying through Impact.

What you would be selling

A real, active affiliate program run through Impact, but the commission rate itself is undisclosed until you apply, and referrals must be US/Canada businesses.

Wave 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.

Read, and not published
Wave’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 Wave'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.
