What you earn

$100 per paid subscription

Paid once for each new customer you refer, when they start their first Heartbeat subscription.

No cap

Refer 3 people or 300. Every paid referral counts.

20% off for your referrals

Applied at checkout for their first three months, which gives people a good reason to use your link.


How it works

Four steps from applying to your first commission.

  1. Apply

    Create your partner account on PartnerStack. We review every application within 30 days.

  2. Share your link

    Once you're approved, you get your own referral link. Share it wherever it fits: your newsletter, a social post, a video, or a note to a friend.

  3. They create a community

    Anyone who clicks your link and creates a Heartbeat community within 90 days counts as your referral.

  4. You earn $100

    Your commission is created when they start their first paid subscription.


Tracking and payouts

How referrals are tracked

  • Your link sets a cookie that lasts 90 days. Each new click starts the 90 days over.
  • The cookie lives in the browser they clicked from. If they click on their phone and sign up on a laptop, the referral may not track, so give anyone who's about to sign up a heads-up.
  • Referrals need to be new to Heartbeat. Anyone who was already a customer, or already talking with our sales team, in the 60 days before their click won't count.

Getting paid

  • Commissions are paid through PartnerStack by PayPal or Stripe, with other options where PayPal isn't available.
  • Anything you earn in a month is ready to cash out on the 16th of the next month, so February commissions are available March 16.
  • Add your payout and tax details as soon as you're approved. If they're still missing six months after a referral pays, that commission is forfeited.

For agencies and consultants

Agency & VIP Partners

If you build and run communities for clients, apply to partner with us directly. You get more help, more to share with clients, and a bigger commission than the standard program.

In your application, include a link to your agency or consultancy and a few details about the clients you work with. We review every agency application, and the Partner Program Terms of Service apply.

  • 1:1 support

    Work directly with us as you plan and launch communities for your clients.

  • Custom assets

    Materials made for your agency, so you can show clients what Heartbeat can do.

  • Higher commissions

    Earn more than the standard $100 for each client who starts a paid subscription.

  • Custom bounties

    Paid content projects agreed with you, built around the work you already do.


A few ground rules

These keep the program fair for everyone. The full Partner Program Terms of Service apply, and these are the ones that come up most.

Breaking these rules can end your partnership and forfeit any unpaid commission.

Do I need to be a Heartbeat customer to join?

No. Anyone can apply, whether or not you run a community on Heartbeat. The only exception is competing community platforms.

Can I refer a community that already uses Heartbeat?

Commissions are only for new customers, so existing Heartbeat communities won't count.

Where do I log in?

At heartbeatchat.partnerstack.com. Your links, referrals, and earnings are all there.

My dashboard shows 0 signups, but I know someone used my link.

The stats at the top of your dashboard refresh about once an hour, so check the Customers tab for the live list. Still missing after a day? Email support@heartbeat.chat with the email address they signed up with and we'll track it down.

I joined through Rewardful. Does my link still work?

No. Our Rewardful program has closed, and Rewardful links stopped tracking new referrals on August 7, 2026. Create a PartnerStack account to get a new link. If you think you're owed a commission from Rewardful, email support@heartbeat.chat and we'll look into it.

Can I reward my own members for bringing people into my community?

Yes, with a separate feature inside your community. Here's how to set up an affiliate program for your Heartbeat community.
