Alongside managing your own client roster, the Scale + Agency Mode bundle includes a partner code — a way to earn a lifetime commission when you refer a brand to their own direct Surfais subscription, as an alternative to managing that brand inside your agency account.

​
What the partner code is for

Some agencies want to run a client’s AI visibility tracking as part of their own service — that’s what the rest of agency mode is for. Other times, a client is better suited to their own direct Surfais account rather than living inside your agency’s roster. The partner code covers the second case: refer them, and their subscription is attributed to you.
This is separate from adding a client as one of your managed brands. If you’re running the client’s tracking yourself, add them as a brand — see Managing brands. Use the partner code when the client is signing up for their own account instead.

​
What 20% lifetime means

Referred customers who sign up for their own direct Surfais subscription are attributed to your partner code, with a 20% lifetime commission on their recurring subscription billing. “Lifetime” means the commission applies for as long as the referred account stays subscribed — it isn’t a one-off bonus or a fixed-term arrangement.
One-off purchases — a single extra audit, a manual scan pack — aren’t recurring subscription billing, and referral commission doesn’t apply to them. It’s tied to the ongoing subscription itself.

​
How attribution works

Attribution runs on a cookie, captured automatically the moment someone lands on Surfais via a link carrying your code:
1

Someone visits with your referral link

A link in the form https://surfais.com/?ref=YOUR_CODE — or the equivalent on any Surfais page — drops a cookie recording your code.
2

The cookie lasts 30 days

If they sign up within that window, the referral can be credited to you. If more than 30 days pass without a signup, the cookie expires and the referral is lost.
3

Last touch wins

If the same visitor later arrives via a different ?ref= link before signing up, the newer code overwrites yours and the 30-day window resets from that point.
While the partner programme rolls out, referral crediting is reconciled by the Surfais team rather than fully automated end-to-end — so if you’re driving referrals, keep a note of who you’ve sent and check in with partners@surfais.com to make sure everything you’re owed is recorded.

​
Where to see your code and referrals

There’s no self-serve dashboard for your partner code or referral activity today. If you’re on the Scale + Agency Mode bundle and want your code, or want to check on referral activity, contact support or email partners@surfais.com directly.
Because attribution and commission tracking are handled on our side rather than through a dashboard you can check yourself, treat any numbers you’re given as coming from us on request rather than something you can self-serve and verify in real time. If that changes, this page will be updated.
