Referrals and the partner program

Share your workspace's referral link: when a business you refer moves to a paid plan, you get a free month. Partners earn 30% of what their referrals pay.

On this page

Every workspace has a referral link. When a business signs up through it and later moves to a paid plan, your workspace gets one free month of its plan. Agencies, consultants and creators who refer customers regularly can join the partner program instead and earn a share of what their customers pay.

Open Referrals in the dashboard. Every member of the workspace sees the same link, for example https://asdk.com/?ref=k7mq2xpa, with a button to copy it. Share it wherever you like: an email to a colleague, your website's footer, a post.

The page also shows what the link has brought in:

  • Visits: people who opened asdk.com through your link, counted once a day per visitor.
  • Sign-ups: new accounts created through it.
  • Paying: of those, workspaces on a paid plan now.

The badge counts too

On the Free and Starter plans the widget shows a small "Powered by ASDK" badge. Its link carries your site, so visitors who find ASDK through your widget count as your referrals as well. Referrals shows them separately under Widget badge.

How a referral is matched

asdk.com stores a first-party cookie, asdk_ref, in their browser for 90 days. It holds the referral code and where they came from, nothing that identifies them. Our Cookie policy describes it.

They create an account

If they create an ASDK account from the same browser within those 90 days, their first workspace is recorded as referred by your workspace.

They start paying

When that workspace moves to a paid plan, your workspace gets one free month. It appears under Credits as pending.

Some sign-ups don't count:

  • People who are members of your workspace, or who sign up with an address at the same company domain as one of your members. Addresses at public email providers, such as Gmail or Outlook, are not treated as one company.
  • People who already had an ASDK account.
  • People who used a partner's link first: a partner link takes precedence over a customer's referral link, and a customer's link over the badge.
  • Visitors whose browser blocks cookies or sends the Global Privacy Control signal.

Credits

Each referred workspace earns one credit, once, the first time it moves to a paid plan. A credit is one month of the plan your workspace is on when it is earned, at list price. If your workspace is on the Free plan or in its trial at that time, the credit is a month of the paid plan you choose later.

Credits stay pending until online payments are live; then they are applied to your next invoices. Plan changes before then don't use them up.

The partner program

If you run an agency, advise businesses on their websites or create content for website owners, apply on the partner page. Approved partners get their own link and earn 30% of what each referred customer pays for their plan, for as long as the customer stays. The partner program terms have the details.

Partners see their numbers in the dashboard: sign in with the email address you applied with, open Referrals and select Partner dashboard. It shows visits, sign-ups, paying customers and every commission, which stay pending until payments are live.
