Our Rewards Structure

Under our Partner Program reward structure you earn a 10% revenue share for 1 year (12 months) of the paid standard Buzzbassador subscription your referred customers choose. This means that you continue earning this 10% revenue share for every month across the customer's entire first year with Buzzbassador (or for their first 12 billing cycles for their standard Buzzbassador subscription). If the customer uninstalls Buzzbassador or closes their Shopify store (therefore ending their Buzzbassador subscription) within that first 12 months, your Partner Program rewards for that customer will be terminated.

If a customer you referred upgrades at any time during their subscription, your 10% revenue share upgrades as well. So, let's say they start out on the Scale Plan and later switch to the Plus plan. Your monthly payment for that customer would increase from $22.90/month to $49.90/month. Respectively, if a customer you referred downgrades at any time during their subscription, your 10% revenue share downgrades as well.

PLEASE NOTE: The 10% commission is not eligible for any discounted Buzzbassador plans. For example, if a customer is onboarded with a custom plan setup where they receive the features of a higher plan for the price of a lower plan, the revenue share will not be applicable. Revenue shares only apply to Buzzbassador's four standard plans.

The Sales Cycle

Each customer starts on a 14-day free trial. Once the new Buzzbassador user you refer signs up, they will immediately start this 14-day free trial. During this free trial, your referral and revenue share will be pending, seeing as a monthly payment is required to trigger your rewards.

At the end of the 14-day free trial, the Buzzbassador user will begin their first billing cycle of the pricing plan they chose. This billing cycle differs from merchant to merchant, according to Shopify's billing policies (read more about that here). As soon as their first billing cycle ends and they are charged their first payment, your 10% revenue share will be triggered.

Getting Paid

As soon as your revenue share reward has been triggered and your referred customer has successfully paid a monthly fee, your reward will be ready for payout. Partner payments will be sent out on a monthly basis in the 1st week of each month. This means that your partner rewards earnings within the current month will be calculated and paid out within the 1st week of the next month. For example, the commission for the month of August will be transferred within the 1st week of September.

In order to be paid, you must have an active PayPal account email linked to your Partner Portal. If you are unable to use PayPal for payouts, please contact us to inquire about alternate options.

All PayPal Payouts will be sent as "For Goods and Services", meaning the recipient will incur any applicable transaction fees.

Refunds

The customer you refer to Buzzbassador might request a refund during any given billing cycle. If a refund is granted, the revenue share for that billing cycle will not be valid.

Referral Link

After your application is approved and you register for our partner program, you'll get your referral link. This link directs visitors to Buzzbassador's registration page and includes your unique reference handle so that each new merchant you refer can be tracked, and revenue share can be attributed to you correctly.

Rules & Regulations

- You cannot earn revenue share on your own subscription fees. This is considered to be fraud and if we identify activity like this happening on your referral link, your partner account and link will be closed and any accrued commissions will be reversed or cancelled.

- Coupon and deal sites will not be accepted as Partners. Any coupon or deal sites mistakenly accepted as Partners but later identified as such will be removed and any accrued commissions will be reversed or cancelled.

- Only first-time customers are eligible for referral attribution and revenue share. If a merchant clicks your link who has already been a user of Buzzbassador before, they will not be counted as a referral.

- Only customers on standard Buzzbassador plans are eligible for revenue share. If a customer is on a discounted custom plan, the 10% revenue share will not be applicable.

- Partners must not create or use any domains or websites that contain the "Buzzbassador" brand name, the brand name of our parent company "Rocketing Systems", or any direct variations thereof. If we identify activity like this happening on your referral link, your partner account and link will be closed and any accrued commissions will be reversed or cancelled.

- You are not allowed to earn commissions by running any form of paid advertisement towards your referral link, or any paid advertising towards our branded keywords like "Buzzbassador". This includes, but is not limited to, Pay Per Click ads, Google ads, YouTube ads, Facebook ads, Snapchat ads, or TikTok ads. If we identify activity like this happening on your referral link, your partner account and link will be closed and any accrued commissions will be reversed or cancelled.

Requirements to Join The Buzzbassador Partner Program

We carefully review each application to join our Partner Program. We are looking for partners who meet some or all of following standards (referred to as "Partner-qualifying organizations):

- You have an online property with daily visitors, such as a website, blog, YouTube channel, or social media profile

- You provide Shopify-related services such as consulting, coaching, development, marketing, design, or content creation

- You are plugged in to the Shopify ecosystem in a way that leads you to have contacts with Shopify merchants (i.e. Shopify merchants, Shopify app/theme developers)

- You have contacts or clients that have a validated use case for the Buzzbassador app and its features

At any time, before or after acceptance into the Partner Program, Partners may be asked to provide verification of their Partner-qualifying organization, such as a website, social media page, or legal company registration information. If proper verification is not provided, Buzzbassador has the right to remove that Partner from the Program and reverse or cancel any accrued commissions.

BUZZBASSADOR, FOR ANY SUSPECTED VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS AND AT ITS SOLE DISCRETION, CAN DENY ACCESS TO OR REMOVE FROM THE PARTNER PROGRAM ANY INDIVIDUAL OR ORGANIZATION, AND REVERSE OR CANCEL ANY COMMISSIONS ACCRUED BY THAT ORGANIZATION.
