    (Eg:- https://collect.chat#_r_skn1s [https://collect.chat/#_r_skn1s])

 3. We can split the commission into discounts and commission (Eg:- 10% discount
    for your referred customers and 15% recurring commission for you)

    please let us know [https://collectchat.help.center/contact].

Can I sign up using my own referral link?

No. Unfortunately, self-referrals are strictly prohibited. The aim of a referral
program is to encourage affiliates and ambassadors to spread the word about our
product(s), not to get discounts.



Can I sign up on behalf of my clients through my own referral link?

No. Your client has to sign up using the referral link.



My friend/client signed up without using the referral link. What can I do?

Your can go to your affiliate dashboard [https://promote.collect.chat/] and add
their account email yourself. Once that's done, shoot us an email, so that we
can approve your referral request.



What’s the referral cookie life?

The referral cookie life is 120 days. The user has to choose a paid plan within
120 days since the first referred visit. Post this period, the conversion will
not be tracked.



Can I have a referral link pointing to other pages of the website?

Yes. Append your referral id (#_r_skn1s) to any URL to create your own referral
link.

payment. You will get the rewards on a monthly basis, from there on. We’ll email
you when the payout is completed.
