# Affiliate program

> Refer other sellers to Get paid and earn a share of Caratuva's fee on everything they collect — for life.

Get paid has a built-in referral program. Share your personal link, and when someone signs up through it and starts collecting payments, you earn a share of Caratuva's fee on what they process — for as long as they keep using Get paid.

## Get your referral link

Your referral link lives in your Get paid account. It looks like:

```
https://getpaid.caratuva.com/login?ref=YOURCODE
```

Anyone who signs up after opening that link is credited to you automatically. Share it wherever your audience is — social, email, your own site, or directly with people you know.

## How much you earn

Your share of Caratuva's fee grows with how many active sellers you've referred:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Tier 1 — 5%" icon="seedling">
    Your starting share of Caratuva's fee on your referrals' payments.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Tier 2 — 10%" icon="arrow-trend-up">
    As your referrals grow, your share steps up.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Tier 3 — 15%" icon="chart-line">
    A larger share as your referred sellers keep processing.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Tier 4 — 20%" icon="crown">
    The top tier — the highest share of the fee.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

You earn on your referrals' activity **for life** — there's no expiry on a referral once it's credited to you.

## Getting paid your earnings

Affiliate earnings are paid out to your **Pix key**, the same way your own invoices settle. To be ready to receive them, make sure your account is fully set up:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Verify your identity">
    Complete individual or business verification, just like any seller. See the [Quickstart](/getpaid/quickstart).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add your Pix key">
    Register the Pix key you want your affiliate earnings paid into. Without a Pix key configured, earnings accrue but can't be paid out.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Earnings keep accruing even before your Pix key is set — but you need a valid Pix key on file before a payout can actually be sent to you.
</Note>
