Affiliate program and promotions

Racinage uses one reviewed commerce flow for plan, plugin, and developer-access orders, with clear pricing and fraud-resistant attribution.
Quotes and manual payments
Paid requests create a server-calculated quote that remains valid for seven days. Choose an enabled manual payment method from Manage > Subscription, enter the transaction reference, and optionally attach a JPG, PNG, WebP, or PDF proof up to 10 MB. A submitted quote is frozen until a super admin approves it, requests more information, cancels it, or refunds it.
A verified user can complete a valid 100% discounted order without payment. Payment proof is private and available only to the customer who owns the order and authorized commerce administrators.
Reductions and coupon codes
Scheduled reductions and entered coupon codes can target selected plans, plugins, developer access, users, currencies, dates, order counts, or minimum subtotals. They do not stack. Racinage applies the single eligible offer that saves the most.
Customers do not maintain a separate coupon record. Enter a code when requesting a plan purchase or change under Manage > Subscription, or during an eligible plugin purchase. Automatic reductions appear directly on pricing and plugin surfaces before the order is submitted.
- Percentage reductions work in every supported currency; fixed reductions require the same currency.
- A reduction can apply once, for a configured number of billing cycles, or for the full approved subscription duration.
- Ending a promotion prevents new attachments but does not remove a recurring discount already attached for its approved duration.
- Refunds reverse the related redemption.
Joining the affiliate program
When applications are open, access Manage > Affiliate from a verified active account. Describe the channels, URLs, and audience you use, then accept the current versioned terms. A super admin reviews every application. Approved affiliates receive a unique link and may receive a linked coupon.
When applications are closed, the entry is hidden from users who have not applied. Existing applicants and affiliates retain access to their status, commissions, and payout records.
Affiliates must make truthful claims and clearly disclose near each endorsement that they may earn commission. The platform can suspend misleading or non-compliant promotion.
Attribution and privacy
After Marketing consent, the latest eligible referral replaces the previous one and remains valid for thirty days. A customer-entered affiliate code is explicit and overrides the referral cookie. Without Marketing consent, Racinage does not store referral attribution, but a code entered by the customer still works for that order.
Commissions and payouts
The default commission is 10% of net collected revenue for an eligible initial plan payment, each distinct plugin's initial purchase, and the developer-access fee. Renewals, zero-value orders, manual grants, self-referrals, an affiliate's own family or plugin, duplicate payment identities, and refunds are excluded.
Non-USD commissions use the current administrator-maintained conversion rate and save that exact snapshot. Available balances of at least USD 10 can be requested in full. A refund reverses its commission. If the commission was already paid, future earnings first offset the negative balance.
Your controls
Manage > Affiliate shows consented clicks, conversions, commission states, available balance, payout profile, and payout history. Cookie preferences can be changed in the public footer or under Manage > Settings.
