Quick answer
Yes. Keap’s Affiliate Partner program pays 20% recurring commission for 12 months on each referral who buys Keap, through PartnerStack. Its partner page also offers a separate Referral Partner track that pays $250 per closed deal while Keap’s team does the selling. Keap does not publish its own cookie window.
About Keap
Keap, formerly Infusionsoft, sells CRM, sales automation and payments to small service businesses, and is now part of Thryv. Its partner page lists two ways to earn, both run on PartnerStack. The Affiliate Partner program pays 20% recurring commission for one full year on each referral who purchases Keap, which the program terms put as up to 12 months while the customer keeps the original subscription and pays on time. The Referral Partner program is a lead hand-off: you introduce a business, Keap’s team runs the sales conversation, and you earn $250 for every deal that closes, whether the customer buys Keap or Thryv.

Attribution window. Keap does not publish a cookie or attribution window on its partner page, FAQ, registration page or terms. Its PartnerStack listing says 90 days in wording that also appears on other vendors’ listings, so this record leaves the field empty.
Promotional rules
What Keap allows and forbids before you promote it.
- Email promotion needs each recipient’s consent, and the terms require you to keep opt-in records such as date and registration source.
- The terms ban promotion by telemarketing, fax or text message, pop-up ads, and cash, points or gifts offered as an incentive.
- Sales to yourself, your employees or your agents do not qualify.
- Links must go straight to Keap’s site with no interstitials, pop-ups or redirects, and your site must carry the affiliate disclosure worded in the terms.
Requirements
Sign up on PartnerStack and share your link; Keap vets each referral and passes qualified leads to its sales consultants. Anyone already enrolled in a Keap partner program cannot earn affiliate rewards. That separate Certified Partner track earns up to 30% recurring on Keap apps and services you resell and bill to clients directly.
- Referrals must be net-new contacts: not existing or former Keap customers, and not previously referred by anyone, including Keap salespeople
- Give Keap the email address on your PayPal account within six months of submitting a referral, or the referral is void
- The terms approve affiliates website by website, so submit the URL of every site you plan to promote on
Who this is best for
Good fit
- Publishers reaching small service businesses that will stay on Keap for the 12 months the 20% is paid
- Consultants who prefer a sales hand-off, using the $250-per-closed-deal Referral Partner track instead
Poor fit
- Affiliates who need a published cookie window to plan content, since no Keap page states one
- Keap Certified Partners, who are excluded from affiliate rewards while enrolled in another Keap program
Pros and limitations
Pros
- 20% of each referred customer’s Keap subscription for 12 months, paid monthly to PayPal through PartnerStack
- A $250-per-closed-deal Referral Partner track exists for referrers who would rather hand Keap a lead than sell it
- The program terms spell out the email-consent and disclosure rules, so compliance is not guesswork
Limitations
- Commission stops after 12 months and only continues while the customer keeps the original subscription and pays on time
- No Keap page states a cookie window, so attribution length is unknown
- A referral reward lapses if Keap does not have your PayPal email within six months
- Only net-new contacts qualify: not existing or former customers, and not anyone already referred

Frequently asked questions
Is Keap the same as Infusionsoft?
Yes. Infusionsoft rebranded as Keap on 29 January 2019, per the company’s press release, and Keap is now part of Thryv. This directory holds one record under the current brand, with Infusionsoft kept as an alias.
How much does the Keap affiliate program pay?
Affiliate Partners earn 20% recurring commission for one full year on each referral who buys Keap. Keap’s partner page also offers a Referral Partner track that pays $250 for every deal that closes, with Keap’s team handling the sale. They are separate programs; you choose one when you sign up.
How long is the Keap affiliate cookie?
Keap does not publish one on its own pages. Its PartnerStack marketplace listing says 90 days, but that sentence appears word for word on other vendors’ listings that publish different windows in their own terms, so we do not treat it as Keap’s figure.
When does Keap pay affiliates?
In the month after the referred customer’s successful payment, through PartnerStack into your PayPal account.
