PARTNER PROGRAM
Turn your audience into recurring income.
Refer photographers, drone pilots, and media businesses to ShootPortal and earn 30% of their ShootPortal subscription payments for as long as they remain paying customers.
You bring the audience. ShootPortal handles the product, billing, tracking, and recurring commissions.
No ShootPortal subscription required to become a partner.
Referred studios on monthly billing get $5/month off for their first 3 paid months; on annual billing they get $15 off the first annual invoice (once).
Your referral activity, commissions, and payouts are tracked in your partner dashboard.
WHY IT ADDS UP
One referral can keep paying you month after month.
This is not a one time referral bonus. When someone you refer becomes a paying ShootPortal customer, you earn your commission each time they pay ShootPortal, for as long as they stay subscribed.

Share ShootPortal. We track the rest.
Step 1
Get your referral link
When you join, you get your own partner link and referral code right away.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Your audience does not have to be huge.
If you already have photographers, drone pilots, or media professionals listening to you, even a relatively small number of paying referrals can create meaningful recurring commissions over time.

FAQ
Straight answers.
How much commission do partners earn?
Partners earn 30% of eligible ShootPortal subscription payments from customers they refer. For reference, the current public Studio monthly price is $29. Your rate is set when you join and applies to each payment that earns a commission.
How long do commissions last?
As long as the referred customer keeps paying ShootPortal and your partner account stays active, you keep earning 30% on their subscription payments. This is not a one-time referral bonus.
When do commissions become payable?
Each commission becomes payable 30 days after the referred customer's ShootPortal subscription payment clears. The hold helps cover refunds and payment reverses before earnings are marked ready to pay.
Do I need to use ShootPortal myself?
No. You do not need a ShootPortal subscription to become a partner or to earn commissions.
How are referrals tracked?
When you join you get a partner link and referral code. When someone signs up through your link and creates a ShootPortal business, that referral is attributed to you.
What happens if a customer cancels?
If a customer stops paying ShootPortal, new commissions from that customer stop. Past commissions for periods they already paid stay on your history. If ShootPortal refunds a payment that already earned you a commission, that commission can be reversed so your balance stays accurate.
Can I promote ShootPortal in a course or community?
Yes. Many partners share ShootPortal inside courses, communities, YouTube descriptions, newsletters, resource pages, and social content. Tell us how you plan to introduce it when you apply.
Do I need a large audience?
No. You need the right people paying attention. A smaller audience of photographers, drone pilots, or media professionals can be more valuable than a huge unrelated following.
How do I get paid?
Connect a Stripe Express payout account in your partner dashboard (bank details stay with Stripe). After commissions clear the 30-day hold and your payable balance reaches $50.00, ShootPortal pays that balance to your Stripe Express account as a Stripe transfer. Automated monthly transfers are not enabled yet — ShootPortal sends transfers when an operator processes your payout.
Can I see my referrals and commissions?
Yes. Your partner dashboard shows referred customers, commission activity, and payout history in one place.
READY TO PARTNER?
You already built the audience. Now give it another way to pay you.
If photographers, drone pilots, or media professionals already trust your recommendations, join the ShootPortal Partner Program and earn recurring commissions when they become paying customers.
You do not need a ShootPortal subscription to join.
