Wave Referral Program: Earn Recurring Income
Summary:
The Referral Program lets partners, creators, and power users earn ongoing commissions when they introduce others to Wave. It turns organic word of mouth into something trackable, transparent, and rewarding for everyone involved.
Key points:
Referrers earn 30% commissions on eligible plans, while new users receive a 10% discount. Everything lives in-app: link generation, tracking, payouts, and onboarding. The program aligns incentives, rewards loyal users, and supports smoother adoption for new ones.
How it works:
You share your unique referral link. Someone signs up and becomes a paying customer. You earn a percentage of what they pay. Payouts accumulate as commissions are approved, and referred users get their discount automatically at checkout without codes or friction.
Referral rewards are subject to program terms and eligibility requirements. Full details are available in the Wave Referral Program Terms.
What Is the Wave Referral Program?
The Wave Referral Program lets you earn commission when someone signs up for Wave using your unique referral link and becomes a paying customer.
In short:
-
You share your referral link
-
Someone signs up and subscribes
-
You earn a percentage of what they pay
It’s simple, transparent, and designed to reward long-term value, not one-time clicks.
Commission Structure & Payouts
Eligible referrals earn 30% commission on paid plans. Commissions accumulate as the referred user keeps their subscription active. Payments are triggered automatically once your approved commissions reach the payout threshold of $50.
Payouts are issued automatically via the payment method connected to your referral dashboard once the payout threshold is reached.
Discounts for new users are applied during checkout with no codes required, and the referral relationship is tracked automatically through your unique link.
For all plans, commissions are capped at a maximum of $1,000 per referred customer over their lifetime. This cap applies across the Pro and Teams subscription plans.
A referred customer is the first individual or company that signs up through your referral link. Multiple accounts, aliases, or team members from the same organization are treated as a single referred customer.

Why We Built This
Wave Connect has always grown through people sharing it in the real world. At events, inside agencies, between teammates, and from creator recommendations. These were organic referrals happening every day, but there was no way to track them, reward them, or even understand their impact.
The Referral Program is our way of formalizing that behavior. It gives loyal users upside for the recommendations they already make, removes friction for new users, and makes growth more community-driven instead of just channel-driven.
