Earn from Beste in 2 ways
Referrals pay you a share of someone else's subscription. The marketplace pays you the full price of a template you made.
Referrals
A share of what they pay Beste
You send someone to Beste and earn 30% of their payments for 12 months from their first Pro, Team or Business payment. Beste pays you, which is why there is a pending period, a payout schedule and a tax form. It suits anyone with an audience who recommends Beste.
- 30% for 12 months from their first plan payment
- Paid by Beste monthly once you reach $100
- New users only, and no self-referrals
Marketplace
The full price of your template
You publish a site you built as a template and set your own price. Buyers pay you through your own Stripe, Polar or LemonSqueezy account, so the money never passes through Beste. There is no commission, no pending period and no payout threshold.
- You keep 100% of the sale
- The buyer pays you directly, on your terms
- Reviewed for quality before it is listed
Referral program terms
New users only. Someone who clicks your link and signs up within 30 days is your referral. An existing account that signs up again or buys through your link does not count, and neither do self-referrals.
You earn 30% of what a referred user pays for 12 months, starting from their first Pro, Team or Business payment. A yearly plan earns you a commission once. Monthly Pro earns on each of its first 12 payments. AI credit packs they buy within those 12 months also count, but a credit pack on its own does not start the 12 months.
A commission is confirmed 30 days after the payment it comes from. Until then it shows as pending in your Earnings page.
Monthly, 2 months after confirmation. Commissions confirmed in January are paid in March. A balance under $100 rolls over to the next month.
Bank transfer, in USD. Before your first payout we need a tax form: a W-9 if you are a US person, a W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E if you are not.
Yes. On Team or Business you can hand over a finished project to your client. If the client puts it on Pro, you earn 20% of that Pro with no end date, while your organization stays on Team or Business. You earn 20% of every Pro payment, or 20% of a year of Pro ($36) each time their own Team or Business plan renews if they cover the project with that plan. On a Pro payment, a handover and a referral link never both earn. On a Team or Business payment both can, but the same person never earns twice.
Commissions are paid gross, so any tax due where you live is your responsibility. Beste is a US company and reports payments to US affiliates on Form 1099-NEC once the IRS threshold is met.
We may change or end the program with 30 days of notice. Commissions that are already confirmed are still paid.
