How referrals work
All users in the Shiftbase account can recommend using Shiftbase. By referring Shiftbase, both parties will be rewarded! Read below how the rewards are currently structured.
- The new customer receives a 50% discount on their plan for the first 3 months. If they choose a yearly plan, the discount is spread evenly across the year (equivalent to 12.5% off for 12 months).
- Example Premium Plan:
- The new customer gets 50% off for 3 months and pays €36 a month instead of €72.
- Example Premium Plan:
- The referrer receives 30% of the referred customer’s subscription costs, capped at €250 in total. As the new customer receives a discount in their first months, this temporarily reduces the referrer’s payout during that initial period.
- Example Premium Plan:
- During the first 3 months, the new customer pays €36 due to the 50% discount. Therefore, the payout to the referrer is 30% of €36: €10.80 a month.
- After three months, the new customer pays €72. The payout to the referrer is €21.60 a month till the cap of €250 is reached.
- Example Premium Plan:
⚠️ Caution: If the referred does not become a customer within 6 months signing up from the referral link, the referral discount will no longer apply.
