Earn by recruiting affiliates: recruiter overrides, per program

A recruiter earns an override on every approved sale made by a partner they brought into a program. You share your recruit link for that program; when your recruit sells, you are paid on top of their commission, not out of it.

If your recruit makes 10 sales of $100 in a program paying 5% of the sale, you earn $50. Nothing is paid for the sign-up itself.

Paid for a sign-up: $0
Override on $100 at 5%: $5
Levels: 2
Hold before payout: 15–30 days

How it works, step by step

1
Join a program
Apply and get approved. Recruiting is per program: you can only recruit into programs you are approved in.
2
Share your recruit link
Your portal shows two links per program: one for customers, one for recruits (/join/<your handle>/<program>).
3
Your recruit applies
They are recorded as your recruit when they apply through your link. The brand still approves them.
4
They sell, you earn
Each approved sale they make pays them their commission and pays you the program’s override.

What one $100 sale by your recruit pays you

Each program picks one override type. The program page shows which before you apply.

Override per sale
The program pays	Your recruit earns	You earn	On 10 sales
25% of the commission	$20	$5	$50
5% of the sale	$20	$5	$50
$5 per approved customer	$20	$5	$50

A 20% commission on a $100 sale in every row. Your override is paid by the brand on top: your recruit's $20 is not reduced.

When and how you are paid

After the hold

Your override follows your recruit's sale: approved by the brand, then payable after the program's hold (15 days by default, never more than 30).

In the same payout

Overrides and your own commissions are one balance per program, paid together once it passes the program's minimum ($10 to $100).

Through Whop

Payouts are sent to your Whop account, or by bank transfer where the brand pays you directly. You need a verified email, and a tax form once your earnings for the year pass the reporting threshold.

Refunds reverse it

If your recruit’s customer is refunded, your override is reduced in proportion, the same as their commission.

For as long as the program says

Some programs pay the override for a set number of days after your recruit joined; others for as long as the recruit is active. A cut needs 3 business days’ notice first.

Only while you are active

If your own membership is paused or removed, overrides on your recruits’ sales are not paid to you, and not passed to anyone else.

Recruiting for ViralPayouts itself

ViralPayouts runs its own partner program on the same two levels: 20% of our profit on a brand you bring, and 5% of our profit on brands brought by a partner you recruited. The base is our profit (the fee we collect, less payout costs), not the brand's revenue. Details are on the programs page.

What recruiting here is not

Not a downline

You earn on the partners you recruit directly, never on the people they recruit. MLM versus two-tier.

Not a sign-up bonus

A recruit who never sells earns you nothing. Recruit people who will actually bring customers.
