Refer Dargo, earn 30% for a year

Every Dargo user you refer pays us monthly for the traffic, BYOD slots, and email allowance they actually use. You earn 30% of that monthly spend, for 12 months from the day they sign up. Payouts run monthly. Applications are reviewed manually — usually within 3 business days.

How it works

1. Apply

Tell us about your audience. Bloggers, YouTubers, newsletter writers, devtool reviewers, self-hosting communities — if your audience cares about self-hosting, you're a good fit.

2. Get your link

On approval we mint a unique referral code and a dargo.net/ref/<code> link. Use it in posts, videos, and email campaigns.

3. Get paid monthly

Every month we sum 30% of what your referrals spent on Dargo and pay it out. The 12-month window starts the day they sign up.

What counts as commissionable spend

Commissions are paid on what your referral pays Dargo for usage — the actual monthly running cost of their setup:

What does not count today: hardware purchases. Those flow through Shopify and need separate tracking that we're skipping for v1 — we may add it in a later version. Your link still helps drive those sales; you just don't earn a commission on them yet.

Apply

Manually reviewed — please give us enough detail to make a real decision. We approve broadly, but we like to read about the audience.

If you're already a Dargo user, use the same email as your account so we can mint your code right away.

20 characters minimum — please give us something real to read.

Fine print

  • Each referred user is attributed to exactly one affiliate (whoever's link they used to sign up). No double-dipping.
  • The 12-month commission window starts the day the referred user creates their Dargo account.
  • Self-referrals (using your own link on your own account) don't count. Sock-puppet accounts will be detected and clawed back.
  • We pay out on the first week of the month for the previous month's commissions, once they're settled.
  • The program is in early stages — terms may evolve. We'll notify approved affiliates of any change in advance.
