Affiliate and Referral Programs
We're so grateful for the Help Scout love that is shared across the world! Now it's our turn to return the warm fuzzies.
Our referral program lets you refer Help Scout to others and, in return, you and your friends will receive some thank-you gifts from us. By popular demand, we have also added an Affiliate Program that offers the option to earn commission from the accounts you bring in.
This article will explain how each program works — choose the option that works best for you (or mix it up with a little of both), and spread the word!

Affiliate Program
NEW With our Affiliate Program, you'll receive a commission on the first year of service for any accounts you've referred.
To get started, head to the sign up page to receive your unique affiliate link. For any new account that signs up for Help Scout using your affiliate link, you'll receive up to 25% commission. We have a 3-tiered structure: Bronze, Silver, and Gold tiers rewarding 15, 20, and 25% of initial MRR respectively, for one year. The tiers are dependent on the revenue you generate. We work closely with a partner software called PartnerStack to track referrals and automate reward payouts. If you’re eligible for a reward, you’ll receive an email from PartnerStack where you can claim your commission and withdraw your rewards on the 13th of every month.
Note that your referrals must sign up for a new Help Scout account using your affiliate link. There is no method to enroll them in your affiliate group after they've started their account if they sign up some other way. We reserve the right to declare an affiliate signup ineligible if we believe that you're abusing the program.
