Alongside managing your own client roster, the Agency plan 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 the Agency plan 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 Agency plan 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.
