The terms that decide whether you get paid
Paid whenReferred customer clicks the link within the 90-day cookie window and signs up for a paid plan; commission runs through their first year (or a one-time payment if it's an annual plan).
Duration20% commission on the referral's payments for their first year only; annual-plan signups pay a single one-time 20% payment instead of recurring monthly commission
Attribution window90-day cookie — referral must sign up for a paid subscription within 90 days of the click; clicking the link again restarts the 90 days (confirmed on wistia.com/partner-program/affiliates)
Payment delayRoughly two weeks: month-end earnings are invoiced on the 1st, reviewed through the 7th, charged on the 8th, processed over 5 days, and available to withdraw by the 13th
Payment scheduleMonthly — rewards invoiced on the 1st, reviewed through the 7th, charged by the 8th, and available for withdrawal by the 13th–15th of each month (confirmed on wistia.com/partner-program/affiliates)
ClawbackDowngrading to a freemium plan stops future commission after the downgrade event; moving between paid plans adjusts commission for the remainder of the year to match the new plan's cost. No incentivized/motivated traffic, no PPC bidding on Wistia/Soapbox branded terms, and email lists must be double opted-in
ApprovalNot published — review occurs after sign-up, no stated SLA
Important
20% is a solid rate, and unlike many programs Wistia actually publishes its mechanics: a 90-day cookie, a clear monthly payout timeline, and clawback rules. The catch is the commission only runs for the referral's first year (a single one-time payment for annual-plan signups), not a true lifetime-recurring deal. Minimum payout, payout method/currency, self-referral policy, and whether you must be a customer are not published. Enrollment runs through PartnerStack, not Awin.
What you would be selling
A 20% commission on a referral's payments during their first year only (one-time 20% for annual-plan signups) via PartnerStack, for a business video-hosting platform. Attribution, payment schedule, clawback, and disallowed-traffic rules are published; minimum payout, payout method, self-referral policy, and customer eligibility are not.
Wistia is one brand with 2 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.

How this programme compares to its rivals was written on August 26, 2026, from the verified terms above.
Re-verified 27 September 2026 against wistia.com/partner-program and wistia.com/partner-program/affiliates: corrected network from Awin to PartnerStack, corrected commission structure from perpetual-recurring to first-year-only (one-time for annual plans), and filled route-in, duration, payment delay, and clawback mechanics. Minimum payout, payout form, self-referral policy, and customer-eligibility remain unpublished by Wistia.
Checked again on September 27, 2026 against both official pages specifically for minimum payout, payout method/currency, self-referral policy, customer-eligibility, and where payments are sent. None of these five items are stated anywhere on wistia.com/partner-program or wistia.com/partner-program/affiliates; the pages only confirm payments arrive through the PartnerStack partner portal on the published monthly schedule and direct any other question to partners@wistia.com. All top-level fields (rate, payout, enroll, network, the application link) were checked against the same two pages and match what is published, so none needed correction.
Filled the last open container question on September 27, 2026 from wistia.com/partner-program/affiliates, which states a partner gets a unique URL they can use to offer a free 14-day trial to the people they refer; this completes all fifteen container questions for the record, and the other fourteen were re-checked against the same page and the main partner-program page with no further corrections needed.
Read, and not published
Wistia’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.
