For the standard affiliate program, applications are manually reviewed and require a valid payout method through Stripe Express (or PayPal where Stripe is unavailable). The public dashboard lists rates up to 30% recurring for one year, with a 60-day cookie. Minimum payout is $100, paid monthly in USD, and accounts inactive for six months may be terminated with sub-threshold balances voided. Self-referrals, family referrals, and referrals of your own employer are strictly prohibited, as are multiple accounts after termination. For the Experts Program, applicants must be approved agencies or consultants who create agents for third-party clients, not for personal use; commission is 30% of client subscription payments for the first 12 months only, and existing paying Chatbase customers do not qualify.
