You launch it. You keep earning on it.
If you set paid communities up for other people, 50% of what we charge them comes to you, every month, for as long as that community keeps billing.
Not a launch bounty and not a twelve-month window. One good community you set up this year is still paying you in three.
The deal
- Your share
- 50%
- Of the 2% we take on each successful payment. The creator pays the same price either way.
- Term
- Lifetime
- Per community you refer, for as long as it keeps collecting payments. No twelve-month cliff, no cap.
- Holdback
- 30 days
- A collected fee waits out the refund window before it can pay, so a statement never has to be reversed.
- Paid
- Monthly, on the 3rd
- By Stripe transfer to your own Stripe account, in EUR, itemised by community. Statements under €25 carry into the next month.
What that is worth
50% of 2% works out at 1% of what the community collects. Small on one payment, and it arrives every month without you doing anything else.
| A community you set up | Their monthly revenue | You, per month | You, per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40 members at $5 a month | $200 | $2.00 | $24.00 |
| 150 members at $8 a month | $1,200 | $12.00 | $144.00 |
| 500 members at $10 a month | $5,000 | $50.00 | $600.00 |
Illustrative, and per community. Ten of the middle row is $1,440.00 a year from work you have already done.
How it works
- 01ApplyTell us who your clients are and where we would fit in the work you already do. We read every application and reply within a few days.
- 02Accept the terms and pick a codeYour dashboard walks you through it: legal details for your statements, a short code of your own, and Stripe connected once through their own login.
- 03Set communities upSend your link, or have the creator enter your code during setup. Either way the community appears in your dashboard the moment they claim it.
- 04Get paid every monthOnce a referred community starts billing, its fees join your monthly statement. It pays on the 3rd after the holdback clears, and keeps paying as long as they do.
How a community gets credited
- Your link
- arcalotl.com/?ref=YOURCODE. First touch wins, remembered for 90 days, so a creator who reads the site now and signs up next month still counts as yours.
- Your code
- Typed during setup, or in the community's Settings within 14 days. For clients who never see the site because you set the whole thing up from inside their community.
- By hand
- For a launch you clearly ran where neither was used. Tell us, and we attribute it with a note on the record.
The creator sees who referred them in their own Settings, and can change it for 14 days. Referring a community you own yourself is blocked.
Who this is for
Agencies and studios that build and run communities for clients. Consultants who take a creator from an idea to a paying membership. Bot and plugin developers whose users keep asking how to charge for access. If a launch you run ends with someone needing to take money from members, you are who we are looking for.
The pilot is small and deliberately so. We are looking for a handful of partners who launch communities regularly rather than a long list of links on affiliate pages. That means we say no to most applications, and that the ones we say yes to get real attention from us on their first few launches.
