How the Affiliate Program Works
The plain-English version — what you earn, when you get paid, and the one rule that trips people up.
Your code and link only track when someone subscribes on haltalerts.org and checks out with Stripe. If they download the app instead and subscribe through the Apple App Store or Google Play, it can't be tracked and you won't earn commission — always send people to the website first. This only applies to the discount and the initial purchase, though: once someone has subscribed through the website, they can use HaltAlerts on any device — iOS, Android, Windows, or web — the same subscription just works everywhere.
1. One pool, shared with your audience
Every deal works off a 40% pool of the plan's list price. For a referral's first 3 months, part of that pool becomes their discount — the rest is your commission.
2. Every referral has two phases
The discount only applies for the first 3 months. After that, your referral pays full price — and you earn the full 40%, not just your discounted-window rate.
♾️ Commissions never expire — but you need to remain an active affiliate in good standing. No Premium subscription and no HaltAlerts account are required.
3. Getting paid
- • Each commission sits in a 45-day hold after the referral's payment clears — this covers refunds and chargebacks, not a delay tactic.
- • Payouts unlock once you have 3 different paying referrals whose payments have cleared the hold (no refund or chargeback). Until then your commissions keep accumulating — nothing is lost, and everything you've earned is paid when you reach 3.
- • Once cleared and unlocked, it's ready to be paid out through Stripe Connect, direct to your bank account.
- • You need to be eligible to hold a Stripe account in your country — most countries qualify.
4. A few rules
- • The discount is for new customers only — someone who already had a HaltAlerts subscription doesn't get another discounted period, even with your code.
- • You can't refer yourself or an account you control. The 3-paying-referral payout minimum exists to keep it that way.
- • Whoever's code brought someone in keeps the credit — even if a different code gets used later.
