## How to join

1. Apply at [/affiliates/#apply](https://wpsecurityninja.com/affiliates/#apply) (open to anyone with a clear promotion plan).
2. We review your application (a pending Freemius affiliate is created for approval).
3. If approved, you get your unique Freemius referral link plus access to [marketing material](https://wpsecurityninja.com/marketing-material/).

**Commission:** 20% on successful referred purchases.  
**Payouts:** PayPal only, **$100 minimum**.

## How tracking works

Attribution is **Freemius-side** via your `r.freemius.com` referral link. There is no separate tracking cookie on wpsecurityninja.com. Freemius records the click when visitors use your affiliate URL, then attributes the purchase at checkout.

**Do:**

- Always share your Freemius referral link (from the Freemius affiliate dashboard after approval).
- Use `rel="noopener"` only (never `noreferrer`) on affiliate anchors.
- Prefer protocol-relative URLs: `//r.freemius.com/…`

**Don’t:**

- Strip query params or wrap the link in a shortener that drops Freemius parameters.
- Link only to `/pricing/` without going through your Freemius referral URL first.

## Troubleshooting

Common technical issues (EMPTY_REFERER, `rel="noreferrer"`, protocol mismatches): [Known affiliate link issues](https://wpsecurityninja.com/docs/affiliates/known-affiliate-link-issues/).
