Commercial terms at a glance
| Commission component | Current published structure |
|---|---|
| Selected 1-month new subscriptions | Up to 100% depending on product |
| Selected 1- or 2-year new subscriptions | Commonly 30%–40% depending on product |
| Qualifying renewals | 30% |
| Payout timing | Current partner terms provide scheduled direct payouts after validation; exact timing/method should be confirmed in the active partner account for the affiliate’s region. |
|---|---|
| Minimum payout | Current public partner materials use a $100 threshold for direct payout in the applicable affiliate terms/account flow; confirm the active regional terms. |
| Allowed traffic | Content creators, publishers and other approved partners can promote Proton products using approved links and materials. |
| Paid search / PPC | Paid search is permitted only within current partner rules; Proton brand/trademark bidding and direct brand-capture tactics are restricted, so ads should lead through compliant publisher content rather than impersonating Proton. |
| Geography | Global-facing partner program, subject to local product, legal and payment availability. |
| Recurring duration | 30% on qualifying subscription renewals while the referred subscription remains eligible under current partner terms. |
| Approval difficulty | Moderate — partner application and compliance review apply. |
| Terms note | Commission differs across Proton products and billing terms. The maximum new-sale percentage must not be presented as universal across every product. |
Only terms supported by the reviewed source are shown. Unpublished details are left out rather than estimated.
