Commercial terms at a glance
| Commission component | Current published structure |
|---|---|
| Starting new-sale revenue share | 40% |
| Performance arrangements | Custom payouts/CPA may be negotiated based on traffic and volume |
| Payout timing | Purchases must clear Surfshark’s refund/validation period; the public affiliate page says payout is made on request and steady earners can arrange a monthly invoice flow. |
|---|---|
| Minimum payout | $100; smaller balances roll over until the threshold is reached. |
| Allowed traffic | A website is not required. Surfshark explicitly lists websites plus Facebook, X, YouTube and other approved promotion methods. |
| Paid search / PPC | Follow the current affiliate terms and network-specific promotional regulations before paid search; the public program page does not summarize every keyword restriction. |
| Geography | Multi-network global program; network and offer availability can vary by market. |
| Recurring duration | The published 40% starting rate applies to qualifying new sales; the standard program does not promise renewal-recurring commission. |
| Approval difficulty | Low-to-moderate — affiliate signup is available and a website is not mandatory, but traffic and compliance are reviewed. |
| Terms note | 30-day cookie uses most-recent-visit attribution. Custom CPA/payout arrangements are performance-dependent and should not be represented as the default rate. |
Only terms supported by the reviewed source are shown. Unpublished details are left out rather than estimated.
