CoolBiz Affiliate Program
ActiveAI chatbot and voicebot platform paying 30% lifetime recurring on plan fees net of included credits, tax and processing fees, plus 30% of add-ons.
Sponsored placement. CoolBiz paid for a featured listing on SaaSAffiliate.net. The payment does not change this program's score, its position in any ranking, or the terms recorded here, which come from CoolBiz's own published pages.
Quick answer
Yes. CoolBiz runs an in-house affiliate program paying 30% of the subscription plan fee less its included AI credits, plus 30% of each recurring add-on fee, for the life of the subscription. The base is net of sales tax or VAT, processing fees and CoolBiz-issued promotional credits, and top-up credits and consumption pay 0%. Tracking uses a permanent referral link rather than a cookie, and commission is paid monthly by the 15th of the following month with no published threshold.

About CoolBiz
CoolBiz sells an AI platform for customer-facing chat and voice support, intake, appointments and multilingual service, with a role-based Work Mode for staff and compliance and privacy controls built in. It runs its affiliate program in-house, on its own dashboard, and pays a percentage of subscription and add-on revenue for as long as the referred subscription stays alive. The detail that matters is the definition of the base the rate applies to, which the affiliate policy (effective 19 May 2026) spells out clause by clause. Add-on commission covers CRM Integration, Cloud Database, LAN Downloadable App, Domain Masking and any future add-on subscription, calculated against CoolBiz’s published retail price. The terms of service and privacy policy name the operator as CoolBiz Inc, doing business as CoolBiz®. The site footer describes it as a Nevada corporation, and the affiliate policy gives a headquarters address in Redding, California.

Attribution window. There is no cookie duration to record. The affiliate policy states that referrals are tracked by a permanent affiliate link carrying a unique anonymised identifier, without reliance on cookies or temporary tracking mechanisms. In practice that removes the attribution-window risk that dominates this category, but it also means attribution depends entirely on the referred subscriber arriving through the link — CoolBiz publishes no last-click or window rule to fall back on.
Promotional rules
What CoolBiz allows and forbids before you promote it.
- Brand assets must be used in their original form without modification, with attribution and a link back to the official site; the licence is revocable
- FTC-compliant disclosure is required on all promotional activity, and misleading claims about the product can forfeit accrued earnings
- Email or SMS promotion beyond sharing the referral link requires documented opt-in consent and a working opt-out; CoolBiz states it does not anticipate affiliates running such campaigns under the current program structure
- Refunds and chargebacks trigger proportional clawbacks within 90 days of the original purchase, and a negative balance carries forward against future commission payments
- Nothing is published about paid search, brand bidding, coupon sites or self-referral
Requirements
The program page describes a self-serve sign-up that “takes just a few minutes” and states there are no volume floors. The policy reserves the program for “qualified individuals and entities” but publishes no approval criteria or review step. On 27 Sep 2026 the signup address, app.coolbiz.ai/affiliate/signup, showed a generic “Create your account” trial form with nothing identifying it as affiliate enrolment, so the affiliate step may follow account creation.
- An active payout account on CoolBiz's then-current payout method
- FTC-compliant disclosure in all promotions
- Accurate representation of the product in all promotional material
Who this is best for
Good fit
- Partners whose referrals subscribe to add-ons such as CRM Integration or Cloud Database, since each add-on fee pays 30% for the life of the subscription
- Affiliates whose referrals take a long time to buy, because the permanent link has no expiry window
- Affiliates who want written rate protection: 60 days’ notice of changes and grandfathering of existing subscriptions
Poor fit
- Affiliates whose referrals would mostly spend on top-up credits or usage, which pay 0%
- Affiliates who need a published payout threshold and a documented PPC or brand-bidding policy before they commit
- Anyone wanting a long track record; the affiliate policy took effect on 19 May 2026
Pros and limitations
Pros
- 30% applies to recurring add-on fees as well as the base plan, for the life of the subscription
- Lifetime recurring, with no cap on earnings and no volume floor to qualify
- Cookieless permanent-link tracking means no attribution window can expire on a slow buyer
- Rate changes carry 60 days’ notice and existing subscriptions keep the rate they were sold on
Limitations
- The commissionable base is net of included credits, tax, processing fees and CoolBiz-issued promo credits, so 30% of the sticker price overstates what lands
- Top-up credit purchases and consumption charges pay 0%, however much a referral spends on them
- No payout threshold, cookie fallback rule, PPC policy or geographic eligibility is published
- Tracking and payouts run on CoolBiz’s own dashboard and Stripe, with no third-party network holding the referral data
- Clawbacks on refunds and chargebacks run for 90 days, and a negative balance carries into future payments

- 3Add a payout account in the affiliate dashboard before your first commission clears
- 4Take promotional material from the brand kit in the dashboard and use it unmodified

Editor's notes
CoolBiz's affiliate policy (effective 19 May 2026) promises at least 60 days' written notice of any commission-rate change and applies a new rate only to subscriptions secured after that notice period, so existing referrals keep the rate they were signed at. Refunds and chargebacks are clawed back proportionally within 90 days of the original purchase. The record rests only on CoolBiz's own pages; no third-party network holds the tracking data.

Frequently asked questions
What does CoolBiz pay affiliate commission on?
CoolBiz pays 30% of the subscription plan fee after the value of the plan’s included AI credits is removed, plus 30% of each recurring add-on fee at CoolBiz’s published retail price. Sales tax or VAT, processing fees and promotional or gift credits come off first, and top-ups and consumption pay nothing.
What is the CoolBiz affiliate cookie duration?
There isn’t one. The affiliate policy states that tracking uses a permanent affiliate link with a unique anonymised identifier and does not rely on cookies or temporary tracking mechanisms. CoolBiz publishes no fallback rule for a referral who arrives without the link.
Can CoolBiz cut the commission rate on referrals I already have?
No. The policy commits to at least 60 days’ written notice of any rate change and grandfathers existing subscriptions at the rate they were secured on, including add-ons added later. The rule is symmetric: you also cannot carry a prior higher rate onto subscriptions sold after a change.
When does CoolBiz pay affiliates?
Monthly, by the 15th of the following month. Commissions are paid in USD through CoolBiz’s processor, currently Stripe, to an active payout account in good standing. CoolBiz does not withhold tax, and no minimum payout threshold is published.
