Affiliate Program
Stori has a built-in referral program that pays 30% recurring commission for up to 12 months on subscription revenue from anyone you refer. Two tracks — instant for Stori users, application-based for professional affiliates.
How the Program Works
Every Stori user has access to the affiliate program. Sign up, get a unique referral link, share it, and earn commission on the subscriptions of anyone who signs up through it.
Two tracks:
- Stori user — you're a candidate using Stori. Instant approval, instant link. Designed for casual sharing — DM a friend, post in a group chat, mention it in your network.
- Professional affiliate — recruiters, agencies, content creators with a real audience. Application required (~24 hours). Higher visibility on the dashboard, access to marketing assets.
Both tracks pay the same commission rate.
What You Earn
30% recurring commission for up to 12 months on the subscription revenue of anyone who signs up through your link and converts to a paid plan. So if your referral subscribes to Outreach at $34/mo, you earn $10.20/mo for up to a year.
A few details:
- Commissions are calculated monthly based on actual subscription payments.
- Refunds and chargebacks reverse the corresponding commission.
- Minimum payout threshold is $50. Once your pending balance crosses that, payouts process automatically.
- Payouts go to your connected bank account via Stripe Connect.
How to Sign Up
Open the Affiliates page from the candidate nav. Two-step registration:
- Pick your account type — Stori user or Professional.
- Fill in basic info. Stori users get their referral link immediately. Professional affiliates provide company name, website, and how they plan to promote — Stori reviews and approves within ~24 hours.
Your referral link is in the format: https://stori.com/?ref=[your-code]. It works for both candidate-side signups and company-side signups.
Tracking Your Performance
The affiliate dashboard has five tabs:
- Overview — total clicks, signups, conversions, earnings. 30-day breakdowns and your shareable link.
- Referrals — every signup with their status (signed up, converted, churned, refunded) and which plan they're on.
- Commissions — monthly statements showing gross revenue, commission rate, and your share.
- Assets — marketing materials (videos, banners, images) you can use in your promotion. Available to professional affiliates.
- Payouts — payout history and Stripe Connect bank account configuration.
When It Makes Sense
A few patterns where the program pays off:
- You run a recruiting agency. Refer clients to Stori and earn on their subscriptions (30% × 12 months adds up fast).
- You write or post about job hunting. Add your link to your bio or content. The Outreach plan converts well for active job seekers.
- You're in a slack/discord for job seekers. Drop the link when relevant. Stori is free for candidates, from the interview to the report, so the value is genuine.
Don't spam your link in places where it's off-topic. Stori reserves the right to suspend affiliates who promote in ways that violate our terms — refunds and chargebacks reverse commissions anyway, so spam doesn't pay.
