Commissions & Tiers

You earn a percentage of the total Hiveku revenue — plan fee and usage — from every account you refer, every month, for as long as that account stays active. Your rate increases with the number of active referred accounts.

​

Tier ladder

Your tier is evaluated automatically from your active referred accounts — an account counts once it’s active and past its 7-day trial (i.e. a paying customer). Trials don’t count toward your tier until they convert.

​

What commission is based on

• Base: the referred account’s pre-tax invoice subtotal — its plan fee plus all usage (AI, voice, bandwidth, email, etc.). It’s net of any discount that account received, so you earn on what Hiveku actually collects.
• Duration: recurring for the life of the account. There’s no 12-month cap.
• Rate: your tier rate at the time each invoice is accrued.

​

How it accrues

Each time a referred account pays an invoice, a commission entry is written to your ledger: base × your rate. Accrual runs daily and is idempotent — one entry per invoice, no double-counting. Both the plan-fee invoice and the usage invoice generate commission, so plan and usage are both captured.

Earnings & payouts

The Partner Console shows your earned (last 30 days) and earned (lifetime) totals from the ledger. Hiveku reconciles and pays out accrued commission on a monthly cadence — reach out to your Hiveku contact for payout details.
