LIMITED FOUNDING PARTNER RATES · 70% DIRECT
The opportunity is huge. The time is now.
70% Direct on commissionable revenue — that is not a normal affiliate rate.
Most SaaS affiliate programs pay roughly 10–40% of revenue. Many referral programs sit at 5–20%. Sales orgs sometimes land in the 30–60% range when support costs allow. Founding Partner Direct at 70% of the commissionable amount collected is in a different class for software with high gross margins — residual while customers keep paying. That is the huge upside of joining while Founding rates are open.

How Founding rates stack up
| Typical market | Founding Partner (now) | |
|---|---|---|
| Direct share of commissionable revenue | Often 10–40% (affiliates) · 5–20% (light referrals) | 70% Founding Direct |
| Scout / override on another partner’s Direct | Common 10–20% of Direct · sometimes 5–10% light | 20% of their Direct (one level) |
| What makes this unusual | Scout alone is a normal structure | The standout is the size of Direct — not Scout math |
| Window | Standard public affiliate rates later | Limited Founding Partner rate era — join while open |
Founding rates + AI coding boom + an easy savings sell.
Three forces stack: (1) Founding Partner Direct at 70% while the program is still in its founding era — not a forever promise for every future tier, so urgency is real. (2) AI coding agents are a once-in-a-generation demand wave — buyers already feel Max spend and session friction. (3) Power Claude is an easy money story: about $117+/mo vs Max when they pool Pro seats they own. Residual Direct on paid renewals + 20% Scout when Partners you introduce earn. Income is never guaranteed — but the structure is unusually generous for honest promoters who act now.

How it works
Apply and get approved
Apply through the Partner Program. When approved into a tier (for example Founding Partner), you receive a customer referral link and a separate Scout link. Commission rate % for each customer is taken from your then-current structure at their first qualifying paid conversion — not a permanent freeze for every future customer. Each ledger row stores an immutable rule snapshot.
Share where people already overpay for AI coding
Send your customer link to people who already pay for Claude Code — friends, colleagues, communities, creators. Lead with the savings story: about $117+/mo less than a Max plan when they pool Pro seats they already own (same capacity story as the product page). Offer the recommended 14-day Premium Trial ($0 today, card on file) so they can feel the savings before billing. Offer the 7-day no-card trial only when they will not add a card. Customers always pay the normal public price; saving money is why they convert.
Earn on paid renewals + Scout
When a referred customer's real payment clears (first charge or renewal), you earn the configured Direct commission on the commissionable amount collected — residual while they stay billed. If a Partner you introduced earns Direct, you also get a configured Scout share. Start sharing now — commissions kick in when real payments clear (trials let them try free).
CREATIVES FOR PARTNERS
Media that sells the program
Two colors. Two clear jobs — easy to ship both.
Purple creatives sell Power Claude to buyers — pair with your customer link /r/{your-code}. Example: the savings still shown here (~$117+/mo vs Max). Teal creatives invite new Partners — pair with your Scout link /sk/{your-code}. Purple = Direct when people buy. Teal = Scout when Partners you introduce succeed. Training stamps the right link on each still. Full guide: /blog/partner/partner-purple-teal-brand-lanes.
Purple = sell · Teal = recruit
Scout compounds when people you introduce succeed.
When a Partner you invite earns Direct, you earn a configured Scout share of that commission (Founding default in structure panel). One level only — honest recruit, not multi-level hype. After approval, Tools/Training stamp your Scout link on teal creatives and your customer link on purple savings creatives. Never wrap links with third-party shorteners.

Ship one honest post, then let it work.
The fastest path is one useful savings-first post with your purple-lane customer link and a clear disclosure. Inside the Partner portal, every kit still downloads with the right link already stamped — zero copy-paste tracking misses. Technical and non-technical partners both start the same way: one clear money story, one link, one disclosure.
What earns commission
| Earns? | Why | |
|---|---|---|
| Customer installs free / starts 7-day trial | No | No money collected — attribution is preserved for later |
| 14-day Premium Trial $0 card verification | No | Zero-dollar verification is not a paid conversion |
| First real paid Monthly or Annual charge | Yes — Direct cash | Configured rate on commissionable amount collected |
| Successful renewals while customer stays paying | Yes — residual Direct | Same Direct rate on each qualifying payment — not a one-time payout |
| Partner you introduced earns a Direct commission | Yes — Scout share | Configured share of their Direct commission |
| Their renewals (Scout residual) | Yes — Scout residual | Scout share re-earns when that Partner earns Direct on renewals |
| Older content still sends paid referrals | Yes — when it converts | Posts can keep referring for months; commission only on real paid charges |
| Refund or chargeback of the underlying payment | Reversed | Direct and Scout liabilities reverse proportionally |
Paid only on real money collected — at Founding 70% Direct.
Commissions use the amount actually collected after discounts (not list price). Founding Direct is 70% of that commissionable base (then-current structure at each customer’s first paid conversion). If someone joined through your Scout link and is approved, you also earn 20% of their Direct commission — paid by Neural-LLM, not deducted from them. Amounts sit in a hold period, then become payable. Refunds reverse both sides. Commission processing never blocks a customer's successful payment.

Links, QR, UTMs, estimates, training, and terms.
Approved Partners get a modern portal: short links, campaign UTM builder, QR, social share presets, cash balances (pending/payable/paid), estimates clearly labeled as estimates, transaction history, Scout pipeline, training modules, and a media resource library. Cash Partner status surfaces in extension/CLI when you are cash-enrolled. HikaShop raw shop events remain available for ops.
How the program works
Is the Founding Direct rate really that big?
Yes — the standout number is Founding Direct at 70% of commissionable revenue (paid charges after discounts). Typical SaaS affiliate programs often land in the 10–40% range; lighter referral programs often sit around 5–20%. A one-level Scout share of another Partner’s Direct at about 20% is a common structure (many programs use 10–20% of Direct). What is unusually generous is the size of Direct, not the existence of Scout. Live % always comes from program config / your structure panel. See Founding Partner rates guide.
How do Partner rewards work?
The Partner Program pays cash commissions on qualifying paid subscriptions (Direct + optional Scout). Free trials and $0 verifications do not earn until a real paid charge succeeds. Founding defaults are 70% Direct and 20% Scout of Direct — residual on qualifying renewals under Partner Terms.
What is Partner Scout?
Approved Partners get a separate teal-lane Scout link for introducing other Partners. When a Partner you introduced earns a Direct commission, you earn about 20% of that commission (not of customer revenue) under Founding defaults. Scout compounds when people you introduce succeed. Structure and eligibility are defined in Partner Terms.
Why are some creatives purple and others teal?
Purple = sell the product to buyers — pair with your customer link /r/{your-code}. Teal = recruit Partners — pair with your Scout link /sk/{your-code}. They are two different jobs so the colors keep lanes clear. Full how-to: Purple vs teal brand lanes.
What if the customer gets a refund?
Direct and Scout commissions reverse with the underlying payment (full or proportional). After payout, negative balances reduce future payouts. Historical paid rows are never deleted.
Are rates fixed forever?
No permanent enrollment freeze. When a referred customer first has a qualifying paid conversion, the Direct and Scout rate percentages for that customer relationship come from your then-current Partner rate structure. Later qualifying commissions for that customer keep that customer-level context. Already-recorded ledger rows keep immutable rule snapshots. Program defaults can change for new Partners and newly attributed customers without rewriting history. Full detail: Partner Terms §3.
Where does the customer link go?
To the public site via your short partner code URL (/r/{your-code}). Attribution survives trials and locks after the first paid conversion so later clicks cannot hijack the customer. Always lead customers to the recommended 14-day Premium Trial when they are ready to try Power Claude seriously.
Where is my Partner dashboard?
After approval, open /partners/dashboard for cash balances, tools, training, and media. Apply at /partners/apply. Terms at /partners/terms.
Can I leave? Can Neural-LLM end the program?
Yes — both sides have exit flexibility. You may resign anytime (email support@neural-llm.com). We may terminate for cause immediately or for convenience with 30 days’ notice, and may modify or wind down the Program with notice. Earned payable commissions remain subject to ordinary hold/payout rules; historical paid commissions are not clawed back except fraud or chargebacks. Full detail: Partner Terms §8.
Is there a tracking pixel?
No third-party tracker. We use the shop's first-party affiliate cookie plus a canonical attribution record once the customer is identifiable.
Does one post keep earning?
A useful post can keep appearing in search, shares, recommendations, and AI answers months later — that is a practical compounding effect, not a guarantee of income or of permanent Program rates. See Partner Terms for flexibility and wind-down.
