Partners

People who refer customers to your product in exchange for commissions.

A partner is a row in the partners table tied to one program. The same person can be a partner in multiple programs (across multiple workspaces) using the same email — they sign in once and see all their programs in their partner dashboard.

Partner statuses

  • pending — applied, waiting on your review
  • approved — link active, tracking accepted, eligible for payouts
  • rejected — application declined, no link issued
  • banned — manually suspended (e.g. fraud)

How partners join

Two paths:

  1. Public apply page — they fill out your customizable form at partli.app/apply/<ws>/<program>
  2. Direct invite — you send them a token-based invitation from the Partners page; they accept and skip the application step

Approving partners

Open the Partners page in your workspace and click into a pending applicant. Hit Approve — we generate their referral link, send them a welcome email, and fire partner.approved on your webhook.

Auto-approve

Set autoApprove: true on a program to skip manual review. Useful for products that aren't selective about partners.

Referral links

Each approved partner gets a referral link like partli.app/r/alex-x9k4. Visiting it triggers our click trackingand redirects to the program's destination URL.

Active-paid partners (your billing meter)

Your plan caps the number of active-paid partners per month — partners who actually received a payout that calendar month, summed across every workspace. Approved partners who didn't earn don't count.
