Refer Once, Earn on Every Renewal: How QRPixel's Two-Tier Affiliate Program Works

Most affiliate programs pay you once, for one thing: the first sale someone makes after clicking your link. That undersells what a good referral is actually worth. If someone you referred sticks around and keeps paying month after month, a one-time bounty stops rewarding you the moment it pays out — while QRPixel keeps collecting from that subscriber for as long as they stay. QRPixel’s affiliate program is built around that mismatch: every account gets a referral link automatically, and it pays on every purchase your referrals make, not just their first.

It also goes one layer deeper than most programs bother to. You don’t just earn when someone you referred pays — you also earn a smaller amount when someone *they* referred pays. That’s the two-tier structure, and it’s worth understanding properly, because it changes how you should think about sharing your link.

The two tiers, plainly

Every QRPixel account has its own referral link. If someone signs up using yours, you’re their direct referrer. If that person later refers someone else, you become that third person’s indirect referrer — one link further up the chain. Both relationships pay a commission, at different rates, on every purchase the newest person makes:

In words: the account directly above a buyer earns the direct rate. The account above *that* one — the referrer’s own referrer — earns the indirect rate on the same purchase. Anyone further up the chain than that earns nothing on it; the program only ever pays two levels deep, so there’s no incentive to build some sprawling downline just to farm distant commissions. It rewards the person who actually brought someone in, and gives a smaller nod to whoever built the network that made that introduction possible in the first place.

It’s not a signup bonus — it’s a recurring one

The distinction that matters most here is easy to skim past: commissions are calculated on every payment, including renewals, not just the first one. Refer someone once and you’re paid for as long as they stay subscribed — with zero further effort from you. Here’s what that looks like on a single Premium subscription:

Same split applies every renewal, for as long as Jamie stays subscribed — not a one-time payout.

Scale that across even a handful of active referrals and it compounds in a way a single bounty payment never does — every person you refer becomes a small recurring line, not a one-off transaction you have to keep replacing.

Getting your link costs nothing and takes no setup

There’s no separate affiliate application, no approval wait, no minimum follower count to qualify. Every account — free or Premium — gets its own referral link the moment it’s created, visible on the Affiliate tab of your dashboard. Whoever clicks it gets a tracking cookie that remembers the referral for 30 days, so it still counts even if they don’t sign up on the spot.

• Your personal referral link, ready to copy and share anywhere.
• A running count of your direct and indirect referrals.
• A live ledger of every commission — pending and paid, with the tier and rate it was earned at.

The fine print, briefly

Commission rates can change going forward, but never retroactively — every commission you’ve already earned keeps the rate it was calculated at, permanently, even if the program-wide rate changes later. Payouts are handled manually on our side rather than through an automated payment integration, so there’s a real person, not a bot, behind every payment. Full terms — including the (obvious, but official) rule against self-referrals and fake accounts — are in our Terms of Service.

A referral shouldn’t stop paying the moment it converts. If someone keeps paying QRPixel, the person who brought them in should keep getting paid too.
