We pay more for the first sales because they’re the hardest. The step-down rewards early partners and keeps long-term partners aligned with our gross margin.
| Tier | When it applies | Your cut |
|---|---|---|
| Launch tier | Your first 5 sales | 40% |
| Growth tier | Sales 6–20 | 30% |
| Steady tier | Sales 21+ | 25% |
| Top partner | 20+ sales in a 30-day window | 40% (re-unlocks) |
example: 3 Review Stack sales at $59 × 40% = $70.80 on your launch-tier commissions alone
Cookie window
If the buyer clicks your link and purchases within 90 days, you get the commission. We use UTM + Stripe session metadata for attribution, not a third-party affiliate network.
Payout speed
After the refund window closes (30 days), we pay via Stripe invoice within 7 business days. Email us SeptimLabs@gmail.com with your payout method (Stripe, PayPal, wire, crypto — we’re flexible).
Short list. No fine print tricks.
- Commission of the invoice total, after Stripe fees and before sales tax, per the step-down tier above. One-time products only (all Septim products are one-time for now). If we ever launch a subscription we’ll write separate recurring terms.
- 90-day last-click attribution. UTM parameters on your link + Stripe session metadata. If two affiliates claim the same sale, the last click wins.
- FTC disclosure is required. Every piece of content containing your affiliate link must include a clear material-connection disclosure (e.g. #ad, #sponsored, "affiliate link", or equivalent plain-language statement) placed before the first link. This applies to blog posts, YouTube videos, tweets, newsletters, TikTok captions — everything. Violation is grounds for immediate termination and forfeit of unpaid commissions.
- No self-referrals, no incentivized clicks, no email spam. Organic content, paid ads (as long as they’re not bidding on "Septim" brand terms), newsletters, YouTube videos, blog reviews — all fine.
- No fake reviews or misleading claims. If you say Septim Flint catches every PR vulnerability, that’s false, and we’ll end the partnership. Honest positioning only.
- Refunded sales don’t pay commission. Our refund window is 30 days — payouts happen on day 31 for cleared revenue.
- Payouts in the currency of your choice. Stripe invoice by default. PayPal/wire/USDC on request. Minimum payout: $20 accrued.
- We can terminate with 7 days notice if rules 3, 4, or 5 are broken. Accrued commissions on cleared, non-refunded sales are still paid.
- Independent contractor relationship. You are not a Septim Labs employee, agent, or representative. You speak for yourself, not for the company. We don’t provide you an email address, employment benefits, or the authority to negotiate on our behalf.
Good fit. And not.
✓ Good fit
Devtools newsletters, Claude Code tutorial creators, AI-coding YouTubers, indie-hackers who built a Claude-adjacent SaaS, tech agency owners recommending a stack to their team, CTOs writing "here’s what we use" posts.
× Not a fit
Coupon-site operators, cookie stuffers, paid-ad arbitrage on brand terms, anyone running review-farm SEO, anyone promising Septim "can replace your security team." All will be rejected or terminated.
Fill this. We approve same-day.
No phone call, no "quick sync", no onboarding course. We approve, we email you a UTM link for each product, you start sharing.
Quick answers.
Is this a real program or a pitch?
Real. Manual payouts for now (solo founder, $0 MRR), automated via Stripe as soon as we hit 10 affiliates. You’ll be paid even in the manual phase.
Can I run paid ads?
Yes — except bidding on "Septim" brand keywords. Everything else is yours.
Do you give discount codes to affiliates?
Yes, on request. A 10% off code paired with your 25% commission still makes you more per sale than most devtool affiliate programs (they average 15%).
What if I just want to post once and see?
Perfect. Apply, get approved, get your UTM links, post once. We track it. If a sale lands, you get paid. No minimums.
What does the UTM link look like?
We issue one per product: https://buy.stripe.com/…?utm_source=your_slug. The Stripe session captures it. No affiliate JS on your site required.
Do you have a rev-share model for a top partner?
Yes. If you drive 20+ sales in a 30-day window we’ll talk 40%. Email us after you hit volume; we’re flexible.
