Affiliate program: commissions and payouts

There are two different programs, and mixing them up is the most common confusion:

	Refer & Earn	CutPro Affiliates
Reward	Credits to use in the app	Cash commission
Entry	Open to any account	Application with approval
When it counts	When your invitee generates their first clip	When your referral pays

This article is about the affiliate program (the cash one). Refer & Earn is automatic: your link already exists and the credits arrive on their own.

Joining the program

The application asks for your full name, the channel or profile where you promote, and your country. If you sign up as a company, it also asks for the company tax ID and legal name; in Brazil, a PIX key is mandatory at sign-up.

There's no follower minimum, but approval is manual: until it comes through, your account sits as pending and the affiliate dashboard won't open. CutPro may decline an application at its discretion, per the affiliate terms.

Creating your link

Once approved, the link doesn't come ready-made: you create a campaign and the campaign generates the link. Each campaign has its own tracking code, the platform where you'll promote, the destination inside the site, and its own UTMs.

The advantage of having more than one campaign is knowing what converts: one for YouTube, one for Twitch, one for the newsletter, each with separate metrics for clicks, sign-ups and conversions.

A click on your link drops a 30-day cookie. A purchase made within that window counts for you.

Your coupon

Every approved affiliate can create up to 5 personal coupons, on the Coupons tab of the dashboard, each with the discount you choose. Use one per channel: you can tell where each sale came from, and they work where a link does not show (podcasts, videos, stories).

• Someone new to Cut.Pro gets the coupon discount (up to 20%, at most R$ 20) on their first subscription.
• The sale is credited to you, unless the person already came in through another affiliate: the first link is never replaced.
• It does not work for people who have paid before, for credit purchases, or for yourself.
• The commission is calculated on the amount paid, discount included.
• It must not be listed on coupon sites or discount extensions.

The commission

• 25% of the amount your referral paid, the same for every affiliate, on subscriptions and on credit purchases.
• For 12 months, counted from each referral's signup: as long as they keep paying within the window, you earn on every payment.

Two things that usually surprise people:

• Extra credit purchases also generate commission, the same 25% as subscriptions, within the referred customer's 12-month window.
• Only a new customer counts. Someone who already had a confirmed payment before coming in through your link isn't attributed to you.

The status of a commission

Every commission starts Pending, moves to Approved and ends as Paid. A commission can be Canceled: the most common case is a refund or chargeback on the purchase behind it, which cancels the commission automatically. If a dispute is later won, the commission is valid again.

The dashboard separates "pending balance" (awaiting approval) from "available balance" (approved, ready to withdraw).

Withdrawing

• Minimum of R$ 100. Below that the balance keeps accruing.
• PIX only, no fee, to the key on file. For a company, the key has to belong to the same company tax ID.
• Only in fixed windows: the 1st to the 5th or the 16th to the 20th of each month. Outside those days the button refuses the request, and it's one request per fortnight.
• The request goes through manual review before the payment goes out. While it's awaiting review, you can cancel it yourself and the balance comes back.
• Companies have to attach a service invoice made out to CutPro with every withdrawal.

One rule that catches a lot of people: individuals have a lifetime withdrawal ceiling of R$ 500. On reaching that limit you have to move your registration to a company and start issuing invoices, and a company registration doesn't go back to an individual one.

The amount paid can come out lower than requested if, between the request and the payment, some commission in the batch is canceled by a refund.

What forfeits a commission

The terms are explicit: coupons on coupon sites or extensions, traffic fraud (artificial clicks, bots, cookie stuffing), spam, self-referral (referring yourself, family members or business partners), paid ads bidding on the CutPro brand as a keyword, and promoting without disclosing that it's advertising (#ad).

The system blocks self-referral on its own, and there's an audit afterwards: a paid commission can be reversed within 90 days if an irregularity is proven.

Outside Brazil

Automatic PIX payouts are Brazil-only. Affiliates in other countries arrange payment by email with the team after approval.

If something doesn't add up

Anything about payouts, invoices or a commission you think should have landed involves your account data: talk to support on WhatsApp, not on Discord.
