What is an affiliate program? How does it work?
The affiliate program is how you can make money on NOWPayments without even having an online store. Spread the word about NOWPayments, bring new merchants to our platform, and get a percentage of every payment they receive for 5 years, which can be prolonged to lifetime.
Here’s how it works: in your Account, go to the Affiliate Program section and find the Referral Program part. There, find a referral link:

This is an account creation link.
Copy it and send it to those who would want to use NOWPayments. When they sign up, we will know they’ve come on your recommendation.
The reward amount is 25% of NOWPayment’s profit from commissions. Please note that you are not able to get bonuses from referring to your own projects.
How can I withdraw my earnings?

How can I boost my earnings?
Send the account creation link to more people and get more referrals as a result. There is no cap on how many merchants you can refer: their possible number is unlimited. You will be getting rewards 5 years after each merchant signs up on NOWPayments - with the potential to extend.
Monitor all your referral transactions, track the statistics and the estimated profit in the Affiliate Program section of your Account. To withdraw your rewards, click the “Request the payout” button at the top of the page. The minimum sum is 50 USDT.

To start your Affiliate Program, no special signups are required: simply send the referral link to a merchant, and everything else will be performed automatically.
