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 Section | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Your Referral Link | Your unique URL. Click to copy. Share this link — it tracks every click and conversion. |
| Performance Overview | Total clicks, conversions, conversion rate, and active referred subscribers. |
| Earnings This Month | Commissions earned in the current payout period. |
| Pending Payouts | Earned commissions not yet paid out (held during the clearance period). |
| Payout History | All past payouts with dates and amounts. |
| Your Referrals | List of shops that signed up via your link, their plan, and their status. |
Using Your Referral Link
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=YOURCODEparameter 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 — you still get credit
- Multiple clicks by the same person don't over-count
Payouts
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Payout frequency | Monthly — on the 1st of each month |
| Minimum payout | A minimum balance is required — amounts below threshold roll over to the next month |
| Clearance period | 30 days — commissions are held for 30 days before being paid (protects against refunds) |
| Payout methods | Bank transfer (ACH), PayPal — set up in Affiliate → Payout Settings |
💡 Recurring commissions. You earn as long as the referred shop stays subscribed. A shop you referred 6 months ago is still contributing to your monthly earnings.
