How The Leap Referral Program works

The Leap Referral Program is straightforward and rewarding. If you’ve ever used a referral or affiliate program before, you’ll find the process familiar. And if this is your first time, don’t worry! We’ll talk you through it. 

  1. Your referral code
  2. Tiered commission structure
  3. Comission rate tiers
  4. The referral period
  5. The referral journey

Your referral code

Once you’ve joined our referral program, you’ll get your own referral link to The Leap’s website.  This unique link cookies anyone who clicks on it for 30 days. So, if they sign up for a Leap account within that 30-day time frame, you’ll be credited as their referrer and be connected to them forever.

To break it down further: if someone clicks on your link and signs up to become a paying customer of The Leap, you’ll receive a recurring commission based on their plan for as long as they are a Leap customer. But even if they sign up as a free user, you’ll still reap some sweet benefits (more on that below).

Your referral link uses a custom code that’s connected uniquely to your Leap account. The URL of these custom links can get lengthy, so we’ve shortened it for you. Here’s what a shortened referral link might look like: https://join.theleap.co/gmUl7g2U0P.

You can find your referral link in the Referrals tab on your Leap dashboard.

Tiered commission structure

The Leap is a free-first platform, and we’ve built a commission structure that reflects this.

Our dynamic commission tiers allow you to leverage your free sign-ups into cold, hard cash, too. Here’s how it works: the more free sign-ups you refer during a given referral period, the higher your commission rate tier for that referral period — and the more cash you earn.

To put it simply: you should keep driving new account sign-ups to max out your earnings from your referrals. And, who knows? Those free accounts might become paying Leap customers one day soon, and you’ll be able to start earning a commission of their monthly subscription payments.

Commission rate tiers

Let’s get into those commission rate tiers! 

Remember: your commission rate per referral period is determined by how many new free users you refer within that period. Here are the number of free sign-ups you need to unlock each commission rate tier.

  • 💎 Diamond (40% commission) – 50 or more free sign-ups 
  • 🥇 Gold (30% commission) – 10 or more free sign-ups 
  • 🥈 Silver (20% commission) – 2 or more free sign-ups 
  • 🥉 Bronze (10% commission) – Less than 2 free sign-ups

The referral period

The beginning of each month marks the beginning of a new referral period. Any new users (free or paying) that you refer during that referral period count towards establishing your commission rate for that period.

The referral journey

Now that we’ve talked you through all the components of our referral program, let’s step back and take a big-picture look at how a successful referral happens:

  1. You share your referral link with your audience.
  2. Someone clicks on your referral link and initiates the 30-day cookie.
  3. That person signs up for a free Leap account within the 30-day window and you’re credited as their referrer.
  4. When that referral upgrades to a paid plan, you start earning a commission on their monthly subscription payments.

How much can I earn from The Leap Referral Program?

So, how much do you stand to earn from The Leap Referral Program?

Referrers can earn up to 40% recurring commission on their referrals’ monthly subscription payments — and the commission payments continue as long as the customer remains an active Leap user.

Here’s a breakdown of what you can earn per user through either of our plans:

  • Pro Plan ($19/month): From $1.90 to $7.60 per month 
  • Elite Plan ($59/month): From $5.90 to $23.60 per month

Compounding returns

Since The Leap is made to help creators scale their businesses, you benefit from being connected to your referrals forever. Because your commissions are paid out as long as your referral remains a Leap customer, the commission you earn actually compounds over time.

Here’s an example of how that might look:

It’s April 2025. You’ve referred a total of 115 new users to The Leap. Of those, 15 are on paid plans. In the April 2025 referral period, your referrals result in $485 in revenue for The Leap. You referred 60 new free users during the month, making you eligible for the Diamond commission tier. For April 2025, your commission rate is 40% and you will receive a payout of $194.

How do I get paid through The Leap Referral Program?

Now that you know how much you stand to earn through our referral program, you probably want to know just how and when you can expect to get paid. Let’s get into it.

How you’ll get paid

Just like your Leap store earnings, all your referral program payouts are processed through Stripe, which is linked to your Leap account.

When you’ll get paid

As you now know, The Leap runs on a monthly referral period. After that, you commissions go through a brief holding phase to ensure that everything is processed smoothly.

Here’s how that works:

  1. At the end of each monthly referral period, your commissions enter a 30-day holding period, which lets The Leap finalize all referral activity for that period.
  2. Once the 30-day holding period is over, your payout will be released and should reach your Stripe account within 7 days.

Concerning when you’ll be paid, it’s also important to note that you’ll need to meet a minimum payout amount in order to receive your payment. The minimum payment amount is $25, which means you’ll need to accumulate at least $25 in commission before a payout is triggered. If your commissions haven’t reached the $25 threshold, they’ll carry over to the next payout period.

How to earn the most from The Leap Referral Program

Want to max out your referral program earnings? Here are our best tips for making the most ($$$) out of our referral program.

Get quality referrals

When it comes to your referrals, we recommend prioritizing quality over quantity. 

Sure, it might seem like a good idea to rake in tons of referrals without giving any thought as to who they are and what they want from The Leap. This approach, however, isn’t the best way to maximize your earnings through the program.

A quality referral is someone who is either searching for a platform to launch their creator business or looking for a better, more cost-effective solution for their existing business. These are the people who are most likely to stick with The Leap and become paid plan subscribers. So, by targeting these high quality referrals, you’ll better your chances of receiving ongoing commissions.

Use The Leap

What’s one of the best ways to promote The Leap? Well, by using it! As a Leap user, you gain first-hand experience with the platform, which helps you understand its features and benefits better than anyone.
