The GuruFyre affiliate marketing program pays affiliates for helping GuruFyre earn revenue. We welcome you to join our affiliate community to help GuruFyre expand and grow. Let's grow together!
The affiliate marketing program pays commission to registered affiliates that share their assigned link with anyone that then makes eligible purchases from the GuruFyre platform. Eligible purchases include any revenue paid to GuruFyre such as (1) mentor plan monthly or yearly fees (2) transaction fees charged to mentors per purchases by their customers. Eligible purchases do not include the amount a mentor earns from sales on the GuruFyre platform unless that mentor opts-in to share a portion of their revenue with affiliates.
Mentors at sign up can choose to either pay no monthly fee and a 10% transaction fee on every purchase from their customers, or elect for a higher fixed monthly plan price to pay lower transaction fees or no transaction fees. See the pricing pages for Tutors and Educators for pricing details.
When a mentor picks a plan using an affiliate code, they get a discount that varies in size based on the affiliate's tier. This incentivizes mentors to sign up with through an affiliate. The affiliate will then get credit on that plan purchase price and every renewal of that plan, and earn their commission on every GuruFyre platform transaction fee deducted from customer purchases. Stripe and 3rd party credit card fees are not eligible for commission.
Receiving credit for a plan registration or upgrade to a mentor then your affiliate link must be the most recent affiliate link the mentor has opened. The affiliate link click is stored in the mentor's browser storage for up to 30 days or less when a new affiliate's link is opened. If a plan registration or upgrade occurs after that 30 day time period, then the affiliate does not earn credit for the sale.
If a mentor decides to upgrade their base plan to a higher tier, they may decide to purchase that upgrade through a different affiliate. In the event an upgrade is through a different affiliate link, the former affiliate will stop receiving commission payments for that mentor and instead the new affiliate will begin to earn commission.
Affiliates are encouraged to politely encourage mentors to upgrade their plan as their revenue grows to ensure a new affiliate does not take over that mentor as their customer.
Commission Earnings are earned on a monthly basis and paid within a week after the end of each month if the current total earnings are over the minimum payout amount. Earnings below the payout amount will remain credited to the affiliate and be paid out after the accrued commission is greater than or equal to the minimum payout amount. The minimum payout amount at this time is $10. The minimum payout amount is subject to change, so check back regularly for the current minimum payout amount.
Receiving a payout requires an affiliate to setup a payout payment destination using our Stripe integration. To setup a stripe integration you must also register a mentor account, at any tier, including the free tier; then "connect customer payments" to follow the Stripe connect flow. The Stripe connect flow includes a step to connect a bank account for direct deposit. Once the Stripe connect flow is completed, email help@gurufyre.com to request linking the mentor account to your affiliate account.
