Affiliate program
Promote taproute.
Earn up to 25% of every sale.
If your audience prints QR codes, taproute is an easy recommendation: one-time credit packs instead of subscriptions, a public pledge instead of fine print, and a product your readers can check before they buy. You earn on everything they buy for their first 12 months · tracked and paid out directly by Creem, our merchant of record.
up to 25% per sale · 60-day cookie · 12-month window · paid by Creem
no taproute account needed to apply
What it pays
Every pack pays.
The entry packs pay a higher rate.
| Pack | Price | Rate | You earn |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $15 | 25% | $3.75 |
| Basic | $39 | 25% | $9.75 |
| Pro | $79 | 19% | $15.01 |
| Growth | $149 | 19% | $28.31 |
| Scale | $299 | 19% | $56.81 |
| Volume | $799 | 19% | $151.81 |
One Volume sale pays you $151.81. Credits are prepaid, so a customer who keeps printing buys again rather than renewing · every repeat purchase in their first 12 months pays you as well. Creem pays on the 1st and the 15th, once your balance clears $50.
Why it converts
The easiest product to recommend
has nothing to hide.
- The honest pitch writes itself · no subscription, no auto-renewal, nothing to cancel. Your audience can verify every line before they spend a cent, and a recommendation that survives checking is the one that keeps converting.
- A kit, not just a link · logos, copy blocks, share cards and social art, all republishable as-is · plus the claims ledger we post under ourselves, so you always know what is safe to say.
- Attribution without creepiness · taproute runs no tracking pixels. Referral tracking happens on Creem's checkout, not in your readers' browsers, and a simple UTM shows your traffic in our first-party analytics.
- Paid directly, on a schedule · Creem tracks your referrals, holds the ledger and pays you itself. No invoicing us, no chasing anyone.
How to join
Five steps.
The first takes two minutes.
- Apply on Creem · fill in one form. It asks who you are and where you would promote us. No taproute account required, and it costs nothing.
- Wait for a person to read it · every application is approved by hand, so it is not instant. When you are in, one email arrives with your rates and the full guide.
- Copy your referral link · it is in your Creem dashboard, next to your clicks and your balance.
- Share it where people already have the problem · a post, a newsletter, a client proposal, a reply to someone asking what to use. Best sent to people about to print something.
- Get paid · Creem pays out on the 1st and the 15th once your balance clears $50. You never invoice us.
Questions
Answered before you ask.
Do I need a taproute account to join the affiliate program?
No. The application is on Creem and takes about two minutes. A free taproute account is still worth having, because a recommendation reads differently when you have used the product yourself.
How much does the taproute affiliate program pay?
25% on the Starter and Basic packs, 19% on every other pack, on everything a referred customer buys in their first 12 months. That is $151.81 on a single Volume pack.
How long does the referral cookie last?
60 days from the click. If they buy in that window, the sale is attributed to you. The 12-month earning window then runs from that first purchase rather than from the click.
When and how do I get paid?
Creem is our merchant of record and pays you directly on the 1st and the 15th, once your balance is over $50. You never invoice us.
Is there a subscription that keeps paying me?
There are no subscriptions here. Customers buy prepaid credit packs, so someone who keeps printing buys again rather than renewing, and each repeat purchase pays you while their window is open.
Who gets approved?
A person reads every application, so it is not instant. Adult, gambling and spam placements are declined, as is bidding on the taproute name and listing us on coupon sites.
