Refer an owner, earn 10% — for as long as they stay

If Wauvelhas been useful to you, odds are you know someone else who needs it — the friend who runs a good business on a gut feeling, the owner two booths over at the trade show who still can't say why a profitable year left the account empty. Today there's a reason to make the introduction beyond being helpful: when they sign up through your link, you earn 10% of every payment they make — for as long as they stay a customer.

Not 10% of the first month. Not a one-time bounty. Ten percent of every bill, every cycle, for their entire life as a Wauvel customer. You do the introduction once; the share keeps arriving. Join once, refer for life.

What you actually earn

Because it's a cut of a subscription that renews, a single referral isn't a payout — it's a small annuity. And they stack. Here's what a handful of referred owners paying monthly on the Wauvel CFO tier ($149/mo) adds up to, for as long as they stay:

What it compounds to
Owners you've referredPer monthPer year
1$14.90$179
5$74.50$894
10$149.00$1,788
10% of each bill, so the total renews every month a customer stays. Assumes monthly billing — an annual subscriber's plan is already ten months' price (two months free), so your 10% tracks that discounted amount instead. Illustrative; your share follows whatever each customer actually pays.

The exact number follows whatever each customer actually pays — 10% of Wauvel CFO at $99/mo, of Wauvel CFOat $199/mo, or of an annual plan paid up front. Annual plans run ten months' price (two months free), so a yearly subscriber pays less over twelve months than a monthly one — and your 10% is a cut of that, no more, no less. Refer a mix and the commission just tracks it.

How it works

There's no application to labor over and nothing to install — the whole thing lives on one page in your account.

  • Join the program. One click in Refer & earn mints your personal link on the spot. It's free to join, and every account can.
  • Share it anywhere. Text it, email it, drop it in a group chat of fellow owners. Anyone who signs up through it is tied to you — for life.
  • Earn on every payment. When they subscribe, you start earning 10% of each bill, every cycle, for as long as they stay a customer.
  • Get paid monthly. Each commission clears after a 30-day hold — a buffer so refunds net out — and your cleared balance is paid out every month.

Your page keeps the running tally: who you've referred, how many are paying, what's cleared, and what's ready to pay out. To actually receive money you'll send a W-9 and banking details by email once you're approved — nothing sensitive is ever stored in the app.

Why we built it this way

Most referral programs pay a one-time finder's fee, which quietly tells you what the company thinks of its own retention: get them in the door, collect the bounty, done. We'd rather bet the other way. A lifetime share only pays you well if the people you send stay — so it only works if Wauvelkeeps being worth paying for. That's the same incentive we want, pointed at the same place: keep earning the renewal.

It also means the best people to grow Wauvel are the owners already using it. You know exactly who this is for, and a word from you carries more than any ad we could buy. The 10% is just us splitting the upside with the people who actually drive it.
