FAQ

As many of the answers as we could compile!

When and how will I get paid?

Flywheel pays out referral commissions the first week of each calendar month, after a brief holding period of 90 days. All payments are made via PayPal to the address provided when you sign up! At this time, we do not have any alternatives for PayPal, but hope to have one soon.

How much will I make?

The sky’s the limit – we have no cap on your commission potential! Flywheel pays out 300% of the first month’s payment on any plan, up to $500 per referral source. If your customer uses a promotional code or coupon, payouts are adjusted accordingly.

Who can participate?

While our hosting referral program typically attracts designers, developers, and bloggers who use WordPress, we welcome all different kinds of partners into our program. As long as you promise to follow the rules, we will give consideration to a wide variety of referral applications. There are currently no minimum site visits required for our program.

What does it cost to participate?

Zero! Zip! Nada! We don’t charge any fees, and we even welcome those who are not Flywheel customers to our program. (Though, we’d love to have you as a customer! Should we talk?)

Are there any minimums or maximums for payments?

There are no minimums in effect. You can earn a maximum of $500 per referral source, but there is no program maximum earning potential. As long as you keep bringing people on board, we’ll keep the cash flowing!

What if I prefer to stay the owner of my clients' sites?

In order for a transfer to register as a commission, we need a handoff somewhere along the process. You cannot refer sites to your own plan and earn commissions. However, you can absolutely use our handy collaboration feature to stay in control of the site on your clients’ behalf.

Where am I allowed to promote Flywheel?

You can promote Flywheel via your blog, website, social media channels, to your friends and coworkers, in hand-written love letters, on the Jumbotron, via skywriter (please, send us photos), or pretty much any other way you can think of. The only thing we ask is that you don’t promote Flywheel via paid search and that you follow our brand guidelines in all promotions.

I think I'd prefer to resell hosting.

No problem! Check out our Agency Partners Program. You can even participate in both if you’re interested! We try to keep things as flexible as possible for all business models.
