SaaS affiliate programs: how they pay and what to look for
September 30, 2026 · 6 min read

SaaS affiliate programs promote subscription software. Because customers pay monthly or annually, the important question is whether the program shares that recurring revenue with you — or just pays a one-time bounty and keeps the rest.
The terms that decide what you actually earn
- Commission basis: recurring percentage vs. one-time bounty. Recurring almost always wins over time.
- Recurring duration: some programs recur for 12 months, some for the life of the customer, some not at all.
- Referral window: how long after a click you still get credit. 30 days is common; 60 days is generous.
- Payout terms: minimum threshold, currency, and payment methods.
- Hold period: how long commissions are locked against refunds.
