Why Promote Certifier
As an affiliate, you want to promote a product that converts. Here’s why Certifier does:
Low barrier to entry. Certifier offers a free-forever plan, so leads can start using the product immediately with no credit card required. This dramatically lowers the friction in your conversion funnel.
Fast time-to-value. New customers can go from sign-up to issuing their first certificate in under 10 minutes. That quick “aha moment” means they’re more likely to upgrade to a paid plan.
Solves a real pain point. Manual certificate creation is tedious, error-prone, and doesn’t scale. Certifier replaces that entire workflow with automation. It’s not a nice-to-have; it’s an operational upgrade.
Broad market. Training companies, course creators, HR teams, professional associations, event organizers, schools: anyone who issues certificates is a potential customer. You’re not limited to a niche.
Product Overview
Certifier is a credentialing automation platform that covers everything from design to delivery. Your referrals get:
Full Certification Workflow Automation. Set a trigger (course completion, form submission, webinar attendance, spreadsheet upload) and Certifier handles everything else automatically: generates personalized credentials, sends them via email, and tracks engagement.
Bulk Issuance at Scale. Issue thousands of personalized certificates in minutes. What used to take organizations an entire day of copy-paste work now takes under 5 minutes, with zero errors.
Native Integrations. Certifier connects natively with popular platforms (Google Workspace, MS Office, Hubspot, Salesforce, Airtable, Supabase, SmartSheet, etc), plus 5,000+ apps via Zapier, Make, and Pipedream. It also offers a REST API and webhooks for custom workflows.
Built-In Verification & Trust. Every credential includes a unique QR code and verification link. Recipients can share certificates on LinkedIn and social media instantly (no account creation required). This frictionless experience drives engagement and builds trust in your referral’s brand.
White-Label & Custom Branding. Organizations can fully white-label credentials and host them on their own domain (e.g., certificates.yourcompany.com). Custom sender emails and full branding options included.
Enterprise-Grade Security. Certifier is ISO 27001 certified, GDPR compliant, hosted on AWS with encryption at rest and in transit, and undergoes regular third-party security audits.
How the Affiliate Program Works
Once you join us as an affiliate, you will get a unique referral link. This link should be sent to leads that you would like to refer to Certifier. We will keep the cookie for 60 days & if the lead signs up within 60 days from the referral date, they will get logged under you, and you will earn a 30% commission on whatever plan they choose (monthly or annual) for the first 12 months of their journey with Certifier.
The Certifier Team will take care of the deal closing, and support will make sure that the referred user stays with us.
Commission & Payouts
Our affiliate program now offers a new commission structure:
For Affiliates: 30% commission for 12 months. You earn 30% of whatever plan your referred customer chooses (monthly or annual) for the first 12 months of their subscription with Certifier. No caps, no limits on the number of referrals.
For Referred Customers: extra 10% discount. Every customer you refer gets an additional 10% discount on any Certifier plan (monthly or annual) for their first 12 months. The discount helps you generate more leads.
Payouts:
Commissions are processed monthly. Payments are issued by the 5th of the second month following the referral’s sign-up. Example: A customer signs up on March 20, you receive your commission payment by May 5.
The minimum payout threshold is $50. Once your earned commissions reach this amount, your next scheduled payout will be processed automatically.
You can configure your preferred payment method in your affiliate dashboard settings:
PayPal (available worldwide)
Direct bank transfer (in supported regions)
Tracking & Attribution
Every affiliate receives a unique referral link tied to their account. Attribution works like this:
When someone clicks your link, a tracking cookie is stored in their browser for 60 days.
If the visitor signs up for a paid Certifier plan within that 60-day window, the conversion is attributed to you.
Attribution uses a last-click model: the most recent affiliate link clicked before sign-up gets credit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is FirstPromoter?
FirstPromoter is a system we use to manage our referral program. It’s a well-known, standard tool used for handling payouts, tracking, and managing all interactions with partners, affiliates, and referred customers.
Inside FirstPromoter, you can manage your referral links, update them if needed, and track activity such as new referrals, payments, and payouts. You’ll also receive notifications about these events. To participate in our referral program, you need to sign up through our FirstPromoter portal.
What happens if a referred customer cancels?
If a customer cancels their subscription, your commission for that customer stops from the next billing cycle onward. You keep all commissions earned up to the cancellation date. No commissions are clawed back for completed billing periods.
What if a referred customer upgrades their plan?
Your commission increases automatically. Since you earn 30% of whatever plan the customer is on, an upgrade means a higher commission for you for the remainder of the 12-month period. If a customer downgrades, your commission adjusts to reflect the new, lower plan price. You’ll still earn 30% of whatever they’re paying.
Can I be an affiliate and a Certifier customer at the same time?
Yes! Our best affiliates are active Certifier users. However, you cannot earn a commission by referring yourself. Self-referrals are detected and will not be credited.
What happens if a customer requests a refund?
If a refund is issued, the corresponding commission will be deducted from your next payout. We use standard fraud detection to prevent refund abuse.
How long does approval take?
Most applications are reviewed automatically; some may take 1-2 business days. You’ll receive an email notification once your application is approved.
Do I need to be a Certifier customer to join?
No. The program is free to join. Being a customer helps because you can speak from experience, but it’s not required.
What’s the cookie duration?
The cookie duration is 60 days. If someone clicks your link and signs up within 60 days, you get credit.
How do I get paid?
Payments are processed via PayPal or Bank Transfer. You can set your preferred method in your affiliate dashboard. The minimum payout threshold is $50
My friend or client signed up without using my referral link. What can I do?
No worries! Just send their email address to [email protected], and we’ll manually add them to your referral account in the system.
Why can’t I see my sign-ups and/or rewards?
Our tracking is based on browser cookies. If the referred person used a different browser or device between clicking your link and signing up, cleared their cookies, used incognito mode, or you signed up from your own referral link, the sign-up may not have been tracked.
If you’re confident a sign-up or sale wasn’t tracked correctly, contact us at [email protected], and we’ll look into it.
