Affiliate pages usually lead with the biggest number in the table and let you assume it applies everywhere. Ours has a 50% in it. It applies to two rows out of ten.
Here is the whole table, and the arithmetic on what a referral is actually worth over its life — including the products where the answer is "probably not worth an ad".
There is no single rate
Commission is min(what Stripe actually collected × rate, cap), per product and plan. Rate version
2026-08-v1.
| Product | Plan | List price | Rate | Monthly cap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Osokoro | Starter | $10 | 25% | $2.50 |
| Osokoro | Everything | $20 | 50% | $10.00 |
| Osokoro | Studio | $100 | 25% | $25.00 |
| DevForm | Starter | $9 | 30% | $2.70 |
| DevForm | Pro | $19 | 50% | $9.50 |
| DevForm | Business | $49 | 25% | $12.25 |
| Codoro | Pro | $20 | 10% | $2.00 |
| Codoro | Pro+ | $60 | 10% | $6.00 |
| Codoro | Ultra | $200 | 10% | $20.00 |
| Codoro | Teams | $40/seat | 10% | $4.00 |
Osokoro Phone is not in the programme at all. It bills per minute and there is no monthly subscription to attach a recurring commission to.
Two things to notice. The rate peaks in the middle of each ladder rather than the top — the plan we most want recommended, not the most expensive one. And Codoro is a tenth of the others, for a reason worth explaining rather than hiding.
Why Codoro pays 10%
Because most of a Codoro subscription is not margin. It is tokens.
A $20 Pro plan includes $20 of credit. The credit carries a 40% markup on provider cost, which after Stripe's 2.9% plus 30 cents nets somewhere in the region of 25% of revenue. Paying 50% of the invoice on that would mean paying out roughly twice the gross margin — every referral would cost us money for twelve months.
Osokoro and DevForm are software with software margins, so they can carry 50% on the middle tier. Codoro is closer to reselling compute with a good editor around it.
Stating the consequence plainly, because it is the thing an affiliate needs to know: Codoro Pro pays $24 over twelve months. That may simply be too little to fund an ad campaign, and if paid acquisition is your model, Codoro is not the product to point it at.
What a referral is worth over its life
Commission runs for 12 months from the first paid invoice. So:
| Referral | Monthly | Twelve months |
|---|---|---|
| Osokoro Everything | $10.00 | $120 |
| DevForm Pro | $9.50 | $114 |
| Osokoro Studio | $25.00 | $300 |
| Codoro Pro | $2.00 | $24 |
| Codoro Ultra | $20.00 | $240 |
With one adjustment that reduces the first three months.
The discount, and who pays for it
Every referred customer gets 20% off their first three months, applied automatically from the link. There is no code to type and no code to leak — the discount is attached to the referral, not published.
That discount comes off what Stripe collects, and commission is calculated on collected rather than invoiced. So for three months your commission is 20% lower too.
On Osokoro Everything: $20 becomes $16, and 50% of $16 is $8 rather than the $10 cap. Three months at $8, nine at $10 — $114 over the year rather than $120.
You are sharing the cost of the incentive that helps you convert. That seemed fairer than either paying full commission on a discounted invoice or not offering a discount at all, and it is the kind of detail that is better read here than inferred from a statement.
When you actually get paid
Four gates, and none of them are unusual, but together they mean the first payment is not quick.
- 30-day attribution window, first touch. The first link they clicked wins, not the last.
- 45-day clawback hold on each commission. A card dispute can arrive up to 120 days after a charge, so no window makes anyone immune; 45 days covers the ordinary refund case.
- The referral must survive at least one renewal before anything is paid.
- $50 payout minimum.
Realistically: a referral in January produces its first payable commission around March, and if you have referred one Codoro Pro customer you will reach the $50 minimum somewhere in month twenty-five. The minimum exists because transfers cost money, and it is worth knowing before you plan around a single referral.
US partners only, enforced at Stripe Connect account creation, and every application is reviewed by a person.
The rules that end an account
Short list, and the first one is the one that gets people terminated.
- No bidding on our brand names. Immediate termination and forfeiture of unpaid commission. Buying "Osokoro" in search ads is buying traffic we already had.
- No impersonation — not us, not our staff, not our products.
- FTC disclosure is required. Say it is an affiliate link.
- No coupon, deal or cashback sites.
- No incentivised or automated signups, no self-referral.
- No spam, adult, hateful or illegal placement.
Who this is worth it for
Worth it: somebody with an audience of founders who would use Osokoro Everything or DevForm Pro. Those are the 50% rows, $114–$120 over a year per referral, and the products are cheap enough that recommending them is low-risk to your reputation.
Marginal: Codoro, unless you have volume. $24 a year per Pro referral does not fund much.
Not available: Phone.
The number nobody prints on an affiliate page is the one that decides it — how many of your audience will actually convert. If that is two people a year, none of this is worth your time regardless of the rate, and I would rather you worked that out from the table above than from a signup flow.
