Affiliate Program Overview

The RushTranslate affiliate program pays a 20% commission on qualified sales you refer. Bloggers, digital marketers, and organizations can share a referral link with audiences who need certified document translations, then track referred orders and commissions from an affiliate dashboard.

How the Program Works

To join the program and begin referring customers:

  1. Apply: Fill out a brief application form. Once approved, you'll receive access to your affiliate dashboard and a unique referral link.
  2. Promote: Share your referral link on your website, blog, email list, social channels, or anywhere else you engage your audience.
  3. Earn: You'll earn a 20% commission on every qualified order placed through your referral link.

Once accepted, you can log in to view your dashboard, access tracking tools, and review payouts.

Commission Structure

Affiliates earn 20% of the amount charged for each qualified purchase. There is no cap on how much you can earn. Scheduled monthly payouts are issued via PayPal once your eligible commission balance reaches $25 after refunds and other commission adjustments. We may issue smaller payouts at our discretion. Earned unpaid commissions do not expire; balances below $25 carry forward to future months until the minimum is met.

Refunds, voided payments, and chargebacks reduce or reverse the related commission. If funds from a chargeback are later recovered, the corresponding commission may be restored.

To receive payouts, you'll need to submit appropriate tax documentation and ensure your payment details are up to date. Complete payout eligibility and processing terms are outlined in the Affiliate Terms of Service.

Referral Tracking

Your affiliate link sets a 90-day browser cookie. Before the customer's first order, a new click can replace the previous referral and start a fresh window. We also save the referral to a signed-in customer's account so they can order from another device.

You earn commission only if your link referred the customer's first purchase. An earlier personal or business purchase makes the customer an existing buyer. You can earn on eligible repeat website purchases until the original 90-day window ends. Later affiliate clicks cannot switch the referrer or extend the expiration.

If the customer requests a quote during the tracking window, that quote keeps your referral. You earn commission when they purchase it, even if they pay after the 90 days have passed.

Tracking only applies to properly formatted affiliate links and qualified traffic. Referral activity that includes cookie stuffing, automated bot traffic, or traffic from unapproved sources is not eligible and may result in account termination.

Referral statuses in the affiliate dashboard have the following meanings:

  • Active: The browser cookie is within its tracking period.
  • Overwritten: A later valid referral link replaced this browser cookie.
  • Expired: The cookie reached its expiration date. Orders and commissions already recorded keep their attribution.

Performance Dashboard

Your affiliate dashboard shows referral activity, orders, commissions, and payouts as they are recorded. You can review individual transactions or export reports to compare results over time, reconcile payouts, and keep records for your business.

You'll be able to monitor:

  • Clicks and referral traffic
  • Order conversions
  • Commission totals
  • Payout history
  • Exportable reports for tracking and analysis
Reported commissions are subject to verification and may be adjusted before the final payout.

Promotion Guidelines

Affiliates are expected to promote RushTranslate responsibly and in accordance with our program terms. All promotional activity must comply with applicable laws, FTC disclosure guidelines, and the requirements outlined in the Affiliate Terms of Service. Violations may result in removal from the program and forfeiture of unpaid commissions.

You may not:

  • Make misleading claims about pricing, services, or promotions
  • Place affiliate links on coupon sites or deal aggregators
  • Use paid search ads targeting RushTranslate brand keywords
  • Send spam or use unsolicited advertising
  • Refer traffic using bots, pop-ups, or pay-to-click schemes

Eligibility and Application

To participate, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years old
  • Have an active online presence (e.g., website, blog, or social media following)
  • Submit a completed affiliate application
  • Agree to the Affiliate Terms of Service

Submitting an application does not guarantee approval. All applications are reviewed manually, and we reserve the right to decline applicants for any reason.
