Affiliate program
Get paid every month, not just once.
Most referral programs hand you a one time bonus and forget you. Refer a seller to Kash and you earn a share of what they generate for as long as they keep selling. Free to join, no application, and your link is ready the moment you have an account.
How it works
Three steps, then it runs itself.
Take your link
Create a free Kash account and open Referrals in your dashboard. Your link is there straight away. There is no application and nothing to wait for.
Share it with people who sell
Your audience, your customers, your network. Anyone sitting on inventory, clearing stock, or already selling somewhere that charges them more.
Earn while they stay
When someone you referred pays for a plan or makes a sale Kash earns a fee on, you get a share. It keeps paying for as long as they keep going.
What you earn
A share of what Kash collects, never of what a seller keeps.
This is the part most programs are vague about, so here it is plainly. When a seller you referred pays Kash, you get 5 percent of that payment. When they make a sale, Kash earns a fee on it, and you get 5 percent of that fee. You are paid out of the marketplace's revenue, so nobody you refer ever pays more for having used your link.
Work out what a referral is worth
This is arithmetic on the numbers you entered, not a projection. Kash has no payout history yet, so nobody can tell you what a partner typically earns, and we are not going to invent it. What a referral is actually worth depends entirely on whether they sell.
The terms that matter
No fine print, just the print.
- What you earn
- 5 percent of every plan payment Kash collects from a seller you referred, and 5 percent of the fee Kash earns on their sales.
- What the percentage is taken from
- Money Kash actually collects. Not the sale price, not the seller's payout, and never anything taken out of what the seller earns. Taxes, shipping, and refunded amounts are excluded.
- How long it pays
- For as long as the seller keeps an active paid plan and keeps selling. It is not a one time bounty.
- Attribution
- Last click, stored in a first party cookie for 90 days. If the code is lost, for example because cookies were cleared or a different device was used, the referral cannot be credited.
- Levels
- One. You earn on people you refer directly. You do not earn on the people they go on to refer.
- Free accounts
- Nothing, until they upgrade. A free plan has no subscription fee and pays Kash nothing, so there is no revenue to share.
- The ceiling
- A commission can never exceed what Kash actually kept after payment processing. On a very thin margin the amount paid can be less than the headline rate.
- Refunds and disputes
- A commission on a payment that is refunded, reversed, or disputed is voided, including on subscriptions.
- Getting paid
- Commissions are approved after the refund window and paid monthly by the Kash finance team. Payouts are issued manually today rather than automatically through the platform, so allow time for processing.
- What voids a commission
- Referring yourself, creating accounts to claim your own commissions, or bidding on Kash brand terms in paid search.

How it compares
The difference is recurring.
| Program | How often it pays | What the rate applies to |
|---|---|---|
| Kash Marketplace | Recurring, for as long as the seller stays | Share of what Kash collects |
| Typical marketplace referral offer | One time bonus per signup | Flat amount, often credit rather than cash |
| Typical retail affiliate program | One time, per order | Percentage of a single sale |
Other programs are described in general terms because their rates change often and vary by category. Check any program's current terms before comparing.
Affiliate questions
Everything people ask, answered straight.
Is the Kash affiliate program free to join?
Yes. Create a free Kash account, open Referrals in your dashboard, and your link is ready. There is no application, no approval queue, and no fee.
How much does the Kash affiliate program pay?
5 percent of every plan payment Kash collects from a seller you referred, for as long as they keep that plan, plus 5 percent of the fee Kash earns on their sales. Both are a share of what Kash collects, not of the seller's sale price.
Do I earn commission on free accounts?
No. A free plan has no subscription fee, so there is nothing for Kash to collect and nothing to share. Commissions begin when the person you referred upgrades to a paid plan or makes a sale that Kash earns a fee on.
Do I earn from the people my referrals refer?
No. The Kash program is single level. You earn on the sellers you refer directly. If one of them refers somebody else, that commission belongs to them.
How long does a referral link stay valid?
The referral code is stored in a first party cookie for 90 days on a last click basis. If somebody clicks your link and signs up within that window, the referral is credited to you, even if they leave and come back later.
When and how do affiliates get paid?
Commissions build up in your Referrals dashboard as they are earned, are approved once the refund window has passed, and are paid monthly. Payouts are issued by the Kash finance team by hand at the moment rather than automatically through the platform.
Does the commission come out of the seller's money?
No. Commissions are paid out of the revenue Kash earns. Nobody you refer pays more because they used your link, and no part of a seller's earnings is used to fund it.
Can I promote Kash in paid search?
You may run paid traffic, but not on Kash brand terms. Bidding on the Kash name or close variants competes against the marketplace for its own audience and voids the commissions it generates.
