How the Affiliate Program Works

1
Get your link. Every Shop plan subscriber gets a unique referral link from the Affiliate Dashboard.
2
Share it. Send your link to other shops, post it in car audio forums, or include it in your social media bio.
3
They sign up. When someone clicks your link and subscribes to a Shop plan, you earn a commission.
4
Recurring commissions. As long as the referred shop stays subscribed, you continue earning.
5
Get paid. Commissions are paid out monthly to your registered payout method.
Commission rates are shown in your Affiliate Dashboard. Rates are percentage-based on the first month's subscription value of each referral. Log in to the app to see current rates.

The Affiliate Dashboard

The Affiliate Dashboard is your control center for the program. Access it from the sidebar under Affiliate.

Dashboard SectionWhat It Shows

Your Referrals List of shops that signed up via your link, their plan, and their status.

Your referral link looks like: https://tuninglabs.net/portal/pricing.html?ref=YOURCODE

Where to share it

  • Direct messages to fellow shop owners
  • Instagram / Facebook bio
  • Car audio forums (DIYMA, Caraudioforum, etc.)
  • YouTube video descriptions
  • Your shop's website (partner / tools page)
  • Email signature

How tracking works

  • The ?ref=YOURCODE parameter is stored in a browser cookie
  • Valid for 30 days from first click
  • If someone clicks your link, visits the site, comes back a week later and subscribes β€” you still get credit
  • Multiple clicks by the same person don't over-count
