Paxful Affiliate Program – Paxful Knowledge Base (Customer Help Center)

What is Paxful Affiliate Program?

The Paxful Affiliate Program is an exciting opportunity for users to be rewarded for sharing their Paxful affiliate links with their friends and followers.

Every Paxful user has an affiliate link that can be found on the classic, vendor, and affiliate dashboards. When new users sign up using your affiliate link, you earn commissions. The program allows you to earn a 50% commission on the standard escrow fee every time one of your direct affiliates makes a “buy” transaction and a 10% commission on the standard escrow fee when your direct affiliates’ affiliates make a “buy” transaction. The escrow fee is calculated as 1% in all affiliate payouts, except the cases where the affiliate fee is lower than 1%. If the escrow fee is lower than 1%, the affiliate fee is calculated based on the lower fee.

How many tiers are in the Paxful Affiliate Program?

Tier 1: Affiliates who sign up directly through your link are considered Tier 1 affiliates.

Tier 2: Affiliates who sign up through one of your Tier 1 affiliates’ affiliate links are considered your Tier 2 affiliates.

What is the commission structure for each tier of the program?

We collect an escrow fee from every trade. You earn a commission from the standard escrow fee (1%) we collect, anytime one of your Tier 1 or Tier 2 affiliates successfully completes a trade on Paxful. The commission structure is as follows:

Tier 1: You receive 50% of our standard escrow fee for successfully completed “buy” trades by this user.

Tier 2: You receive 10% of our standard escrow fee for successfully completed “buy” trades by this user.

Note:

The escrow fee is calculated as 1% in all affiliate payouts, except the cases where the affiliate fee is lower than 1%. If the escrow fee is lower than 1%, the affiliate fee is calculated based on the lower fee.
If you would like to also earn from your “sell” trades, please contact our Customer Support Team.

Where do I find my affiliate link?

Affiliate earnings

So, when do I get paid?

Earnings typically get credited to your affiliate wallet instantly after your affiliate's trade completes. Once your affiliate wallet balance reaches the bitcoin amount which equals $10, you can transfer the bitcoin balance from your affiliate wallet to your Paxful wallet.

Once the balance of your bitcoin Affiliate Wallet reaches a total lifetime value of $300, you will be required to submit identity and address verification.
