How it works

1

Get your link

Click Invite friends in the sidebar, or go to app.searchable.com/referral. You can also search “referral” in the command palette (⌘K). Your unique link, stats, and payout settings all live on this page.
2

Share it

Send your link to people and businesses who don’t use Searchable yet. See Where you can share your link for what’s allowed.
3

They sign up and subscribe

Your friend creates a new Searchable account within 30 days of clicking your link, then starts a paid plan. Their discount is applied automatically at checkout.
4

You get paid

Once their first payment has cleared a 30-day holding period, your reward becomes payable. Payouts go out monthly.

Rewards

Your 20% is calculated on what your friend actually pays, after their discount, refunds, and taxes. For example, if your friend picks the Pro plan at $125/month, they pay $87.50/month and you earn $17.50/month, or $105 over six months. After six months, your friend’s subscription moves to the standard price.
The referral discount can’t be combined with other promotions or custom pricing. Existing customers can’t apply it to a current or past subscription.

Who can take part

To refer someone, you need to:
  • Have an active, paid Searchable subscription (trials don’t qualify)
  • Be 18 or older
  • Live in a country supported by Dub, our payout partner
Your friend needs to:
  • Be new to Searchable. People who already have an account, have had a trial, or are already in touch with our team don’t qualify.
  • Sign up through your link and start a paid plan
  • Stay subscribed for at least 30 days after their first payment
You can’t refer yourself, your own company, or accounts you control.

Getting paid

Rewards are tracked and paid through Dub, which powers the referral page in Searchable. Connect a payout method from the referral page:
  • Bank transfer via Stripe Express, paid in your local currency
  • PayPal
  • USDC to a crypto wallet (a transaction fee may apply)
Rewards are calculated in USD and paid automatically once your balance reaches $20. Smaller balances roll over to the next month.
If your friend gets a refund, cancels, or charges back during the 30-day holding period, the reward for that referral is removed from your balance.
You’re responsible for any taxes on your rewards. Dub may ask for tax forms (such as a W-9 or W-8) when you set up payouts. Allowed:
  • Your own website or blog
  • Videos, podcasts, newsletters, and other content you create
  • Organic social media posts
  • Emails and direct messages to people who’ve opted in to hear from you
Not allowed:
  • Paid ads of any kind, including bidding on “Searchable” as a keyword
  • Coupon, deal, or cashback sites
  • Spam, bulk unsolicited messages, or automated outreach
  • Shortening or masking your link in a way that hides where it goes
If you share your link publicly, say that you may earn a reward. Something like: “I may earn a reward if you sign up for Searchable using my link.”

Referral program vs. affiliate program

The referral program is built for Searchable customers recommending Searchable to people they know. If you’re a consultant, creator, or agency who wants to promote Searchable to an audience or client base, our affiliate program is the better fit.

FAQ

Referrals are tracked with a cookie when your friend clicks your link. A referral may not be recorded if:
  • They created their account more than 30 days after clicking your link
  • They clicked someone else’s referral link after yours (the last link clicked gets the credit)
  • They signed up without clicking your link first, or in a different browser
  • An ad blocker or privacy setting blocked tracking
  • They already had a Searchable account, trial, or conversation with our team
When they start a paid plan. Trials don’t earn a reward on their own. Your reward becomes payable 30 days after their first payment.
Each reward is held for 30 days after your friend’s payment, then paid in the next monthly payout once your balance is $20 or more.
You earn rewards for each month they pay, up to six months. If they cancel, rewards stop. If they cancel or get a refund within the first 30 days, that reward is reversed.
Yes. You keep earning for each month your friend stays subscribed, up to six months from their first payment.
Your referral account doesn’t update automatically. Contact support so we can link it to your new email.
