Buffer
Social media scheduling tool loved by creators and small businesses — 25% of subscription revenue for each customer’s first 12 months.
About the Buffer affiliate program
Buffer runs its affiliate programme on its own partner platform rather than through a network, tracking clicks and signups through a server-side event system. The commission is 25% of the subscription revenue from each new paying customer you refer, for their first 12 months. Buffer’s pricing is modest compared with enterprise social tools, so 25% of twelve months is a smaller absolute number than the rate suggests — this is a volume programme rather than a high-ticket one. Neither the cookie window nor the payout threshold is published; the page refers to a minimum payout amount without naming it.
