How it works

Three steps. Recurring income.

You share a link. We handle everything else.

01

Join the program.

Log in to your KanCAT account and visit the Referrals section. Your unique link is ready immediately. There are no forms to fill out and no approval queues to wait in.

02

Share your link.

Send your link via email, share it in WhatsApp groups, post it on LinkedIn, or include it in your newsletter. Anywhere you talk to people in the translation industry is a chance to earn.

03

Collect every month.

When a referral upgrades to a paid KanCAT plan, your commission begins. You get paid every month they stay subscribed — not just once.

FAQ

Referral program questions

Any registered KanCAT user can join — freelancers, project managers, agency owners, bloggers, and consultants. There is no application process and no minimum referral count. Sign up, get your link, start sharing.

You earn 20% recurring commission when you refer a paying LSP or translation agency. You earn 10% recurring commission when you refer a freelance translator. Both rates apply for as long as the referred customer keeps their paid subscription.

Recurring means you get paid every month the referred customer pays KanCAT — not just for the first payment. If someone you refer stays on a paid plan for two years, you earn commission for two years.

No. Referrals are tied to your individual KanCAT account, not to your organisation. If you are a project manager at an agency and you refer a client, the commission goes to you personally.

Commissions are paid monthly. You choose your preferred payout method when you set up your referral account. There is no minimum balance required before your first payout.

Your link tracks for the lifetime of the referred customer's account. There is no cookie expiry window — if someone clicks your link today and signs up six months later, you still earn the commission.

No limit. Refer one person or one hundred — every qualifying referral earns commission at the same rate.

A referral qualifies once the person you referred upgrades to any paid KanCAT plan (Starter or above). Free-plan sign-ups do not generate commission until they convert to paid.

No. You can share your referral link anywhere — email, a WhatsApp group, a LinkedIn post, a blog, or a direct message. There is no traffic threshold or audience size requirement.

Enterprise referrals are handled individually. If you refer a high-value customer, contact us and we will agree on terms together. Enterprise commission rates are negotiated case by case.

Your network is already worth something.
