Promotional rules
What NordPass allows and forbids before you promote it.
- Coupons and discounts may only be ones provided through the affiliate program's banners and links
- Every email campaign needs Nord's approval in advance and in writing, and only consented recipients may be mailed
- Bidding on Nord, NordVPN, NordPass or similar trademarks is banned, as is using them in domain names
- Posting refunds, credits or discounts needs Nord's written permission
- Pop-ups, pop-unders, incentives and cash back are banned, except where features on Nord's own websites provide them
- Commissions are paid only while you remain in compliance with the agreement, and accounts inactive for 6 months may be closed
Requirements
Applications go through Nord's affiliate signup form, and Nord notifies you of acceptance or rejection after review. Commission is paid once your balance exceeds $100, monthly and only after you request it, and no earlier than 40 days after the commission was generated. Payment is by PayPal or wire transfer.
Who this is best for
Good fit
- Security publishers with both consumer and business readers, since B2C sign-ups pay 30% and B2B sign-ups 25%
- Affiliates already on Nord's affiliate platform, where NordPass runs under the same terms and payout rules
Poor fit
- Email-first affiliates, since every campaign needs Nord's written pre-approval
- Coupon and cashback sites, as only program-provided codes are allowed and cash-back incentives are banned
Pros and limitations
Pros
- B2C renewals keep paying a 10% revenue share after the 30% first-sale commission

Limitations
- B2B sign-ups pay 25%, and the page lists no renewal share for B2B plans

- Payment must be requested, and no earlier than 40 days after each commission is generated
- All email campaigns need Nord's written approval first

We previously recorded NordPass as one-time only. Its own affiliate FAQ states a 10% revenue share on all B2C plan renewals, so the program is partly recurring.
