PayPal Referral Program for Developers

It's a program that rewards developers for identifying qualified merchants with a commission The program is free to join and allows you to monetize your client base and earn commissions from each qualified PayPal merchant referral.

To apply, you must:

• Meet with a Program Representative
• A new or existing PayPal Business account (commission payout will be paid to this account)
• Read and agreed to the Referral Program Agreement

You're eligible to receive a fixed commission for all new merchant referrals. Commission starts at $500 and up to $2,500 for an eligible merchant referral. There is no maximum number of merchants you can refer; we want you to earn as much as possible.

At this time the program is currently only available to individuals and/or business based in US and Canada.

Any merchant that accepts payment electronically. Now keep in mind that we do have restriction on certain types of business that we work with.

All referrals are submitted in PayPal's Community Referral Portal. This is also where you will be able to track your merchants. You will receive credentials once you join the program.

You will need the merchant's business and contact name, email, website, country, phone number, and estimated annual transaction volume.

All funds will be direct deposited into the new PayPal business account you created.

After 60 days of the merchants first transaction, we will be able to determine the exact payout amount based on how much the merchant transacted.

Once the referred merchants start transacting, we will monitor the transaction volume for 60 days and determine the one-time payout amount based on their total volume.
