About Copper CRM
Copper is a CRM designed to sit inside Google Workspace, syncing with Gmail, Calendar and Drive through a Chrome extension; its partner FAQ says there is no native Microsoft 365 integration. The Partner Program page describes three partner types. Referral partners, aimed at consultants who advise small businesses on CRM and productivity tools, earn 15% on monthly and annual Copper subscriptions. Affiliate partners, aimed at content creators, are offered CPC or CPL commissions at a rate Copper does not publish. Integration partners are SaaS companies building on Copper. The public sign-up runs on Dub, where the Copper listing pays 15% per sale for 1 year. The Referral Partner Agreement on copper.com explains why it stops at a year: commission is a percentage of what Copper receives in the first year of a subscription, with renewals, upsells and services excluded, and it is paid net 30 from the date Copper is paid. The same agreement bans every form of paid advertising through affiliate links, whatever the keywords, and requires referred prospects to be new to Copper.

Promotional rules
What Copper CRM allows and forbids before you promote it.
- No paid advertising or paid media of any kind may send traffic through affiliate links, including PPC, display, sponsored content, social and native ads, whatever the keywords or targeting.
- No search keywords that outrank or outbid Copper's brand, no domain names containing its brand features, and no presenting a site as Copper's official site.
- Renewals, upsells, consulting, training, professional services and third-party products earn no commission.
- Referred prospects must not be current or past Copper subscribers, on a trial, or already in a sales process with Copper.
- A registered prospect expires after 90 days if it has not converted, unless Copper extends it.
- Copper can modify the program or agreement by giving notice, including by email or through the partner platform.
Requirements
Applicants fill in the form on Copper's partner page or apply through Dub, and Copper's team follows up. For referral and solutions partners the FAQ sets out early commitments: a monthly check-in for the first 3 months, one client onboarded within 4 months and a short Copper course in the first month. Joining is free, though partners who need a demo account must buy one business licence. No review time is published.
- A monthly check-in with Copper for the first 3 months (referral and solutions partners)

Who this is best for
Good fit
- Consultants who set up Google Workspace for small businesses and can introduce a CRM that lives in Gmail
- Writers of CRM comparisons aimed at teams already committed to Google's apps
Poor fit
- Affiliates who rely on paid search or social ads, since Copper's agreement forbids every paid placement
- Audiences on Microsoft 365, which Copper says it does not integrate with natively

Frequently asked questions
How much does the Copper affiliate program pay?
15% per sale for one year, according to Copper's Dub listing. The partner page applies the 15% to both monthly and annual subscriptions, and the agreement calculates it on what Copper receives in the first year of the subscription.
Does Copper pay commission on renewals?
No. The Referral Partner Agreement excludes renewals, upsells, consulting, training and third-party products from commissionable revenue, so earnings stop after the first subscription year.
Can I run Google Ads to my Copper affiliate link?
No. The agreement bans any paid advertising or paid media that routes traffic through your affiliate link, regardless of whether the keywords are branded, competitor or generic terms.
How long is the Copper cookie?
90 days. Copper's partner FAQ pairs the 90-day tracking cookie with monthly payouts, and its agreement keeps a registered prospect valid for the same 90 days.
