Do I need to be a Pilla customer?

No, but using Pilla yourself helps you talk about it from real experience. Plenty of our best affiliates are current customers.

Do I get the discount on my own subscription?

If you're already a Pilla customer when you join the affiliate program (and you don't already have a 10% discount), you get 10% off your own subscription the moment your first referral becomes a paying customer. It then applies for as long as you stay with us, the same as for anyone you refer.

When and how do I get paid?

Quarterly, around the 10th of the month after each quarter ends, by bank transfer. Once we have your details, payouts happen on their own.

What if my referred customer cancels?

Your commission stops the month they stop paying. As long as they're an active customer, you earn 20% of whatever they pay.

What if they upgrade or downgrade?

Your 20% follows whatever they actually pay us each month. If they upgrade, you earn more. If they downgrade, you earn less.

Is there a cap on how much I can earn?

No. No per-customer cap, no time limit, no total cap. The deal is the deal.

No, and our terms make this a termination event. The promo code model makes self-referrals easy to spot.

Can I run paid ads on Pilla brand keywords?

No, that drives our own ad costs up. The full list of allowed and disallowed promotion is in the affiliate terms.

Do I have to tell people I'm getting paid?

Most places require some form of disclosure on paid recommendations. You're responsible for following the rules where you live.

How does the tax side work?

You're self-employed for this commission. We send you a quarterly statement, you declare it on your Self Assessment. If you're VAT-registered, we self-bill you a proper VAT invoice. Most affiliates aren't, and the statement is enough.

Your code is your tracking

Most affiliate programs rely on cookies that break the moment someone uses Safari, an ad blocker, or an incognito window. We don't track anyone. We just check which promo code the customer typed at checkout.

Can't be blocked

Safari tracking protection, ad blockers, and private browsing don't touch a promo code typed at checkout.

No cookie window

Most programs lose your referral if the customer comes back after 30 days. We have no time window. They use the code, you get credit, full stop.

Works anywhere

On a podcast, in a newsletter, on a printed flyer, even scrawled on a napkin. If you can share a short code, it works.

Built for two kinds of people

Consultants, accountants, fractional ops

You advise multi-site operators on the tools they use to run their teams. Hospitality, retail, gyms, salons, care homes, schools, warehouses, you name it. You're already recommending things to your clients. This pays you for it.

One ten-site client referral is a meaningful monthly cheque that compounds for as long as they stay. Stack five or ten of those across your book and it becomes a quiet line of recurring income.

Current Pilla customers

You already use Pilla. People in your network keep asking what software you use. You already recommend it for free.

Same 20% recurring deal. Same 10% off forever for the person you send our way. Existing customers convert better than any marketing we could ever run, so we treat them as our highest-trust affiliates.

Plus, get 10% off your own Pilla subscription forever as soon as you refer one person.

How to recommend us without feeling weird about it

If you've never been paid to recommend software before, here's the honest way to do it.

Only recommend Pilla to people who'd actually benefit. The 10% off is a helpful thing for people who would benefit from using the app anyway. Your audience trusts you because you don't push them into things, so don't start now. If somebody isn't a good fit, don't recommend it. The deal is built for honest recommendations.

Be upfront about getting a discount yourself. Make it known that the deal benefits everyone but again, you only recommend Pilla to people who would benefit.

When talking about Pilla, the best thing you can do is share the public playground link so that your contact can try building a workflow for themselves before they ever sign up.

Something along the lines of the below is a really honest approach...

“Hey, I use this app to build and run operational workflows in my business and it sounds like it could benefit you too. They have a public workflow builder which you can find here https://yourpilla.com/playground - check it out and see what you think. I have a discount code I can share with you if it looks useful, you will get 10% off forever and I'll also get a referral fee from them, win-win!”

We'd rather you recommend us slowly and honestly than fast and a bit shady. If it makes you feel weird, don't do it. If it feels a natural fit, everyone is a winner.
