How can I join the NicoChat affiliate program?

You are already in it: every NicoChat account is an affiliate account and earns 10% to 30% of everything each referral pays for 12 months.

2026-08-19

There is no sign-up and no approval. Every NicoChat account already has Refer and Earn switched on: open Refer and Earn in your dashboard, copy your referral link and start referring.

How it works

1
Get your link
It is in Refer and Earn, in your dashboard. It is the NicoChat address with ?via=YOURCODE at the end. Whoever signs up through it is tied to you.
2
Ask for a coupon, if you want one
NicoChat can create a discount coupon that is exclusively yours — one per affiliate. When your referral uses that coupon at checkout, the sale is yours. The coupon is created by support only; you cannot generate one yourself.
3
Your referral signs up and pays
Every payment they make adds a commission to your statement, with the sale amount, the percentage and the status.
4
You get paid
The commission spends 30 days in a holding period and then becomes available balance. From R$ 100 up, our finance team arranges the payment, by PayPal or as NicoChat credit.

How much you earn

The commission ranges from 10% to 30% of what your referral pays. The more revenue your referrals generate, the higher your tier:

Tier
From
Commission
Bronze
Starting tier — no minimum
10%
Silver
R$ 10,000 in referred revenue
20%
Gold
R$ 25,000 in referred revenue
30%

The tier goes up on its own as soon as your accumulated revenue passes the threshold, and it applies to the commissions that follow. Your current tier is shown in Refer and Earn. Campaigns and negotiated rates, when they exist, replace the tier while they are active — in that case the screen shows Your commission instead of Your tier.

Attention
Percentages, the commission window and the minimum payment amount may change from time to time. What counts is what is shown on the Refer and Earn screen in your dashboard.

How long each referral earns you commission

For 12 months counted from the date the referral created their account — not from the date of their first purchase.

  • Within those 12 months, every purchase earns commission: the first one, each monthly or yearly renewal, add-ons, top-ups, a repurchase after cancelling and even a new subscription for another workspace owned by the same person.
  • After 12 months, that referral's later purchases no longer generate commission.

What earns commission

  • Plans, add-ons and NicoZap: commission on every renewal, while the 12-month window is open.
  • NicoVibe and credit purchases: a single commission, at the time of purchase.
What is left out
Charges that do not go through NicoChat checkout do not earn commission — that is the case for the base subscription billed by a partner and for the old Brazilian billing. When in doubt, your statement answers it: whatever earned commission is there.
  • If your referral used your coupon on that payment, the commission is yours — even if they arrived through another affiliate's link.
  • With no coupon on the payment, the link that registered their sign-up counts.
  • The coupon counts per payment and is not stored: if they do not use the coupon on the renewal, that commission goes back to whoever holds the link.
  • With no link and no coupon there is no commission. The referral is recorded at sign-up; there is no way to attach someone afterwards.

When the money arrives

1
Pending — 30 days
Every commission starts in a holding period. It is the time for your referral's payment to settle.
2
Approved
After the 30 days, it becomes available balance.
3
Paid
The finance team assembles the payment batches. There is no request payout button: you only choose how you want to be paid, on the Payment tab.
  • The minimum is R$ 100 in available balance. Below that, the balance stays approved and rolls over to the next payment — nothing expires.
  • PayPal: give the e-mail of the account that will receive the money.
  • NicoChat credit: give the workspace. Credit pays 20% more than the cash amount and has no minimum.
  • Payment is made manually by the finance team, and the receipt is recorded on the batch.
Credit is worth more
R$ 500 in commission becomes R$ 600 in NicoChat credit. If you are already a customer and are going to spend it anyway, this is the better route.

The method is recorded when the batch is assembled: changing it later applies to the following payments, not to the ones already created.

Refunds and chargebacks

If your referral is refunded or disputes the charge, the commission for that payment is undone:

  • A commission still in the holding period is cancelled.
  • A commission that is already approved or paid becomes a negative entry, which is deducted from your balance right away and settled on the next payment.
  • A partial refund only deducts the proportional part.
  • Your balance can go negative; while it is, there is no payment. It goes back up with the commissions that follow.
  • Refunded revenue also comes off your accumulated tier revenue and can drop your tier. The effect is from that point on: commissions already recorded are not recalculated.

Rules

  • You cannot refer yourself: a purchase made by the affiliate does not earn commission.
  • Do not share your link or your coupon on official NicoChat channels — the community, support groups and comments on NicoChat content.
  • One payment at a time: while a batch is open, another one is not started.

Breaking the rules leads to the commission being cancelled or the affiliate account being blocked. A blocked affiliate earns no commission, by link or by coupon.

Where to follow it

Everything is in Refer and Earn, in your dashboard, across four tabs:

Tab
What it shows
Overview
Balance, tier and the 12-month charts of revenue generated and commission earned.
Referrals
Who came through you and where they are: clicked, signed up, became a customer or cancelled.
Statement
Every commission, with date, product, sale amount, percentage and status.
Payment
How you want to be paid and the history of payments already made.

For privacy, your referral's e-mail is shown masked (m***a@g***.com).

No. Every NicoChat account is already an affiliate, with its own link. If the screen does not open for you, talk to support.
No. The coupon is created by NicoChat on request, and there is one per affiliate.
Yes, as long as it is within the 12 months counted from their sign-up.
Choose NicoChat credit: it pays 20% more than cash and has no minimum.
No. The balance stays approved and rolls over to the next month.
