What is the cookie duration?

We use cookies to track your referrals. The cookies last for 90 days after someone clicks on your link. If they click again, the 90 days starts again.

What if a customer signs up for an annual plan?

If one of your referrals subscribes to a BugHerd annual plan, you will earn 20% of the total amount paid.  For example, if someone signs up to an annual Premium plan of $1,490, you will receive a $298 payout.

What if a customer downgrades or upgrades their plan?

If a customer you referred to us changes their subscription, your commission will adjust accordingly. Say a customer moves from a Standard plan of $49 to a Premium plan of $149, your payout goes from $9.80/month to $29.80/month.

How are commissions paid?

At the end of each month, your commissions are calculated and available for cash-out via PayPal or Stripe from the 16th of the next month (alternative methods available for non-PayPal regions).

When do I get paid?

Payments are verified and paid out on the 16th of the following month. For example, any commissions earned in February will be paid to you on March 16th.

There’s no cap on how many new customers you can refer.

How do you track conversions?

We use cookies to track your referrals. The cookies last for 90 days after someone clicks on your link. If they click again, the 90 days restarts.

Are there any disallowed traffic sources?

Partners cannot compete with BugHerd’s ads or use deceptive advertising. Prohibited practices include unsolicited emails, bots, 100% AI generated content, and any ads that violate BugHerd’s brand guidelines. BugHerd reserves the right to warn or terminate partners who violate these terms, which may result in forfeited commissions. For a detailed list, please refer to our guidelines. If you are unsure or have questions about a traffic source, always feel free to reach out to us in advance.

Can I offer a discount to my referrals?

BugHerd offers a 7 day free trial to all new sign ups, and on top of that your individual referral link will trigger an exclusive 20% discount for your referrals during their first 3 months of BugHerd.

Do I get a BugHerd account for free?

If you as an affiliate partner need a longer access to BugHerd than the offered 7 day trial (for example to write a BugHerd review), please contact your partnership manager.
