About Manychat
Manychat automates conversations on Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, Messenger and Telegram, best known for comment-to-DM flows that send a link when someone comments a keyword. Its partner program, run on PartnerStack, pays a share of every monthly payment a new customer makes during their first 12 months as a paying user. The rate climbs with your lifetime count of paid sign-ups: 30% at Gold (0–30), 40% at Sapphire (31–200) and 50% at Diamond (201+), and there is no commission cap. The terms, effective 1 June 2026, set a 90-day attribution window from the first click, last-click between affiliates, and payment on the 13th of the month after a commission is earned, by Stripe or PayPal. They are strict on traffic quality: arbitrage, incentivised sign-ups, unapproved coupon sites and brand bidding without written permission can all cost you commissions or your account.

Promotional rules
What Manychat allows and forbids before you promote it.
- Paid media is a named promotion channel, but arbitrage (buying cheap traffic mainly to farm commissions) is prohibited.
- Bidding on Manychat trademarks or variations in paid search needs Manychat's prior written authorisation.
- Promotion on coupon, cashback or deal-sharing sites is allowed only where Manychat has approved the site.
- No rewards, cashback or gifts to induce sign-ups, and no mass messaging by email, WhatsApp, SMS or DM without the recipient's consent.
- Referring yourself, relatives or business partners counts as fraud.
- Only new Manychat users count; existing accounts earn nothing.
- Refunds reverse commission proportionally, and referrals with low retention or engagement can be reviewed and excluded.
- The affiliate relationship must be disclosed in all promotional content.
Requirements
Applicants fill in a short form on manychat.com/affiliate; joining the verified PartnerStack Network is not needed when you apply there directly. Manychat's help centre says applications are reviewed regularly but gives no turnaround time.
- Individuals must be 18 or older; incorporated businesses may also join
- To be classed as an Agency Affiliate, a company must actively manage Manychat accounts for at least 3 distinct clients
Who this is best for
Good fit

- Social media agencies setting up DM automation for new clients, provided the client signs up through the agency link before creating an account
Poor fit
- Coupon, cashback and deal sites without Manychat's approval
- Media buyers whose model relies on low-cost paid traffic, which the terms treat as arbitrage
- Anyone hoping to earn on clients who already have a Manychat account

Frequently asked questions
How much does the Manychat affiliate program pay?
30% of a referral's monthly payments for their first 12 months while you have 0–30 lifetime paid sign-ups, 40% from 31 to 200, and 50% from 201 onwards. The landing page also mentions 100% revenue share for top performers, but the terms' tier table stops at 50%.
Is the Manychat cookie 90 or 120 days?
The affiliate terms effective 1 June 2026 say 90 days from the first click, and the landing page asks for an upgrade within 90 days of signing up. The 120-day figure appears only on Manychat's PartnerStack marketplace listing.
When does Manychat pay affiliates?
Commissions are approved a full month after the referral's payment and paid on the 13th, so a payment made on 15 April is approved on 15 May and paid on 13 June. Payouts go through PartnerStack to Stripe or PayPal.
Can I bid on the Manychat brand in Google Ads?
Not without prior written authorisation from Manychat. The terms list unauthorised brand bidding as fraud, alongside traffic arbitrage and promotion on unapproved coupon sites.
