The partner program
Introduce local businesses. Earn every month they stay.
You know business owners who need more customers. Send them to Sunshine Network through your own link, and you earn 10% to 20% of their plan price every month, for as long as they stay a paying customer.
Joining is free and takes a minute. Your first link is ready as soon as you sign up.

The route
What a partner does.
Step 1
Join
Create your free partner account. You get your own short link and a dashboard right away.
Step 2
Introduce
Share your link with local businesses you know. They sign up through it, on the same plans and prices as everyone else.
Step 3
Earn
Each business that signs up and keeps paying earns you a share of its plan price every month, starting after its first 30 paid days.
What you earn depends on the businesses you bring and how long they stay.

The levels
The more clients you keep, the higher the rate on the next ones.
Your clients are counted in the order they signed up. Each one earns the rate of the level its place falls in, and your earlier clients keep their own rates. Only businesses you introduce yourself count.
| Level | Your clients | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | 1–10 | 10% |
| Level 2 | 11–30 | 12% |
| Level 3 | 31–60 | 15% |
| Level 4 | 61–100 | 18% |
| Level 5 | 101 and up | 20% |
What each client is worth to you, a month
| Level | Standard $99 | Growth $179 | Premium $299 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | $9.90 | $17.90 | $29.90 |
| Level 2 | $11.88 | $21.48 | $35.88 |
| Level 3 | $14.85 | $26.85 | $44.85 |
| Level 4 | $17.82 | $32.22 | $53.82 |
| Level 5 | $19.80 | $35.80 | $59.80 |
These figures use the monthly plan price. A client who pays yearly counts as one twelfth of the yearly price each month, so that client earns you a little less per month than shown: $8.91 instead of $9.90 for a Standard client at level 1.
For example, 40 active clients on the Standard plan (10 at 10%, 20 at 12%, 10 at 15%) would come to $485.10 a month. An illustration, not a promise.
If a client leaves, the clients who signed up after it each move down one place, so one of them may earn at a lower level’s rate.
What you earn depends on the businesses you bring and how long they stay.

The payout
How and when you are paid.
Every month
On the 1st we add up the month that just ended. We approve each payout before it is sent, and payouts are sent no earlier than the 16th.
After a client’s first 30 paid days
A business starts earning for you once it has been a paying customer for 30 days.
Through Stripe, to your bank
You set up payouts with Stripe from your dashboard. Stripe collects your tax details and sends the money to your bank account.
Once your balance reaches $100
A smaller balance is not lost. It carries forward and is paid with a later month.
Reversed on a refund or dispute
If a client is refunded or disputes a payment, the commission on that payment is taken back.
One review before your first payout
We look at every new partner once before sending their first payout.
What you earn depends on the businesses you bring and how long they stay.
The full rules are in the Partner Terms.
The pitch
Why businesses say yes.
You are not selling a discount. Businesses you introduce pay the same price as everyone else.

The questions
Plain answers.
No. Anyone in the US can join with a name, an email address and a password. If you are already a customer, you join with the login you have.
No. You do not earn on a business you own or sign up yourself.
You stop earning on that client. If a client leaves, the clients who signed up after it each move down one place, so one of them may earn at a lower level’s rate.
Once a month. A client starts earning for you after its first 30 paid days. On the 1st we add up the month that just ended, and once your balance reaches $100 we approve it and send it through Stripe, no earlier than the 16th of that month. A smaller balance carries forward.
No. Joining is free, and there is nothing to buy.
Not yet. The program is open to partners in the United States only for now.
Yes. Your dashboard has a sales kit: a one-page overview you can print, short scripts for email, text and in person, the plan comparison, logo files and a QR code for each of your links. You can also check which towns are still open for a trade before you pitch.
Say what the public site says, and always tell people you earn a commission. Do not promise results or income. The full list is on the partner rules page.
Read what you may and may not say before you start.
