Earn 20% Of Every Payment From The People You Bring
There is a new Referrals page in your dashboard with a link that is yours alone. Anyone who joins Linkhiver through it is credited to you, and when they subscribe to Pro you earn a fifth of everything they pay, for as long as they stay.
Earn 20% Of Every Payment From The People You Bring
You have almost certainly told someone about Linkhiver already. Now that pays.
There is a new Referrals entry in your dashboard, under Tools. It holds one link that belongs to you and nobody else. Anyone who lands on Linkhiver through it and creates an account is credited to you — and if they subscribe to Pro, you earn 20% of every payment they make, for as long as they keep paying.
What is actually being paid on
This is the part worth reading twice, because the number invites the wrong reading.
You are not earning a cut of your own sales, and Linkhiver is not taking one either. Linkhiver takes 0% of anything you sell through your page — that has not changed and is not going to. What you earn here is a share of what the person you invited pays us for their Pro subscription.
So the chain is: they click your link, they build a page, they decide Pro is worth it, they pay us, and a fifth of that comes back to you. If they never upgrade, nothing happens.
First payment and every renewal
Most referral programmes pay once. This one pays on every payment the person makes while they stay subscribed: the first month, the second, the twelfth. If they take the annual plan, you earn 20% of the annual payment, and again the year after.
It stops when they stop. That is the whole rule.
Ninety days to make up their mind
Nobody signs up the second they hear about something. When someone arrives through your link, that credit is held for 90 days — they can go away, think about it, come back through a search result or straight to the site, and they still count as yours when they finally make an account.
What the credit does not do is move. The first link someone arrives through is the one that keeps them, permanently.
The money waits thirty days
Every commission sits on hold for 30 days before it can be paid out. That is not delay for its own sake: it is the window in which a payment can be refunded or charged back, and paying you out of money that then goes back to the buyer is a mess for both of us.
Your Referrals page shows both figures separately — what is on hold, with the date the next slice is released, and what is available. A balance that reads all-on-hold on a Friday afternoon is the programme working correctly, not a broken one.
Getting paid is a person, not a button
We would rather be straight about this than have you waiting on something that was never coming.
There is no automatic payout rail. Once your available balance passes the minimum shown on your Referrals page, you press Request payout and we get in touch by email to arrange the transfer — a real bank transfer, made by hand.
The reason is dull and worth knowing: Stripe does not open merchant accounts for Turkish companies, and Paddle, who handle our own billing, do not pay third parties. Rather than hide that behind a spinner, the page says what it is.
One consequence: the minimum applies per currency. If you earn in Turkish lira and in Brazilian reais, those are two balances and each has to reach the minimum on its own. There is no currency conversion anywhere in Linkhiver, and we are not going to invent an exchange rate to make a balance look bigger than it is.
Who can join
Everyone with an account. Free plans included.
That is not generosity, it is arithmetic: the people most likely to tell someone about a link-in-bio page are the ones using it for free, and their referral is worth exactly as much to us as a subscriber's.
The one thing that does not count
Yourself. You cannot use your own link to sign up a second account and pay yourself a fifth of your own subscription — that is refused outright, not as a policy someone reviews later but as a rule the database enforces.
Where to find it
Dashboard → Tools → Referrals. Copy the link and put it where you already talk about your page: your Instagram story, the group chat where somebody asked how you made it, the reply to the friend who wants one too.

Short links have always counted clicks. Now they name the source too — Instagram, WhatsApp, Google or direct — free on every link. And bots no longer count, so some numbers got smaller.
