How the Cloudways affiliate program works
Cloudways lets affiliates choose between a Slab model, paying up to $125 per sale tiered by monthly referral volume, and a Hybrid model, paying $30 per sale plus a 7% lifetime recurring commission. The tracking cookie lasts 90 days, and a sale is approved once the referred customer pays at least two invoices.
