Referral Program & Earning Credits
GoSiteMe's referral program lets you earn account credits by inviting new users to the platform. Share your unique referral link, and when someone signs up and makes their first purchase, both you and the new user receive credits. This guide explains how the program works and how to maximize your rewards.
How It Works
- Get your link: Go to Account → Referrals to find your unique referral URL.
- Share it: Send the link via email, social media, your website, or in conversation.
- Earn credits: When someone signs up using your link and completes their first paid purchase, you receive a credit on your account.
- They earn too: The referred user receives a discount on their first order.
Reward Structure
| Referred User's Plan | Your Credit | Their Discount |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $10 | 10% off first invoice |
| Business | $25 | 15% off first invoice |
| Enterprise | $50 | 20% off first invoice |
Credits are applied to your account within 48 hours of the referred user's first payment clearing. There is no cap on how many credits you can earn.
Tracking Your Referrals
The Referrals dashboard shows:
- Total number of clicks on your referral link.
- Number of sign-ups from your link.
- Number of conversions (users who made a purchase).
- Total credits earned and pending credits.
Using Your Credits
Credits are automatically applied to your next invoice. If your credit balance exceeds the invoice amount, the remaining balance carries forward. Credits can be used for:
- Hosting plan renewals
- Domain registrations and renewals
- Add-on services (SSL, backups, etc.)
- Token top-ups for AI features
Credits cannot be withdrawn as cash but never expire as long as your account remains active.
Affiliate vs. Referral
The referral program is designed for existing customers who want to share GoSiteMe with friends and colleagues. If you are a professional marketer, blogger, or agency looking to earn commissions at scale, check out our Affiliate Program under Account → Affiliate, which offers percentage-based recurring commissions.

- Write a blog post or social media post about your experience with GoSiteMe.
- Mention GoSiteMe in relevant online communities and forums.
- Use the shareable banners and graphics available on the Referrals page.
