Commercial terms at a glance
| Commission component | Current published structure |
|---|---|
| New qualifying subscription | $25 one-time flat commission |
| Payout timing | PartnerStack handles commission payments under its partner payment terms; Descript’s public marketing page also describes regular monthly affiliate payouts. |
|---|---|
| Minimum payout | No minimum sales requirement is published; no separate Descript-specific payout-balance threshold is stated on the reviewed current terms. |
| Allowed traffic | Approved personal websites and social-media channels listed in the PartnerStack profile can use the unique URL when aligned with Descript’s brand and content rules. |
| Paid search / PPC | Do not buy Descript brand/product keywords, promote Descript on Google, or direct-link from online ads. Paid promotion must land on an actual page on the affiliate’s website or social channel. |
| Geography | Applicants must be at least 18 and cannot be residents of countries currently sanctioned by OFAC under the published terms. |
| Recurring duration | Current new referrals earn a one-time $25 commission on the initial qualifying subscription term; no renewal commission for new referrals. Legacy recurring referrals can continue only under their prior limited terms. |
| Approval difficulty | Selective — Descript reviews brand/demographic fit; its marketing page says approval typically takes about a week. |
| Terms note | Only new Descript customers purchasing eligible self-serve products within 30 days qualify. Self-dealing, unapproved offers, invalid traffic and trademark misuse can invalidate commission. |
