The Tess AI Affiliate Program is your chance to share our platform with your network and get rewarded for it. If you believe in Tess AI’s potential, this program is made for you to become one of our ambassadors.
How does the Affiliate Program work?
The model is simple and good for everyone. Every time one of your referrals turns into a new customer, everyone wins.
For the person you refer: Anyone who subscribes to Tess AI using your unique link gets a 10% discount on the subscription.
For you (the affiliate): You get a 10% commission on the amount your referral pays during the first 12 months of their subscription.
Important Commission Details
Duration: The 10% commission is recurring on payments made by the referred customer during the first 12 months of the contract.
Commission Cap: There is a commission limit of up to $1,000 (one thousand dollars) for each customer you refer.
Practical Example of Earning Potential
Imagine that you referred Tess AI to a company, and it signed up for a plan with 10 licenses (seats) at a cost of $40 per license/month.
Annual contract value: 10 seats x $40 x 12 months = $4,800
Your commission (10%): $480
With a single referral, you would earn $480.

Tracking Your Results and Payments
You have full transparency to track how your referrals are performing.
Results Tracking: Within the same affiliate program page, click on the “Rewards” tab or on your dashboard. There, you can see the status of your referrals and your accumulated earnings.

Update Timeframe: It’s important to note that a new sale can take, on average, 20 days to show up on your dashboard. This period is necessary for all financial procedures and confirmations to be completed.
How to Receive Commissions: Payments are made via PayPal. To receive them, just add your PayPal account in the payment settings area of the program. If you don’t have an account yet, you can create one for free on the PayPal website.
Troubleshooting: Payment with status "Returned"
Occasionally, a commission payment may not be completed and can appear with the status "Returned".
This means that the payment was correctly processed by our payment partner (Cello), but was sent back by PayPal due to an issue with the affiliate’s own account.
The most common reasons for this are:
The PayPal account email registered on the affiliate platform is incorrect or does not exist.
The PayPal account has not been fully verified.
There is some restriction or block on the PayPal account that prevents receiving funds.
How to fix it?
Review your data: Check if the PayPal email registered in the affiliate dashboard is correct.
Check your PayPal account: Log in to your PayPal account and confirm that there is no pending verification or account restriction. If you have any questions, contact PayPal support.
Update the information: After fixing any pending issues, update or re-enter your payout email in the affiliate dashboard. A new payment attempt will be made automatically in the next cycle.
