Existing affiliates still log in through PartnerStack.

Attribution window. Notion does not use the word cookie, but its FAQ gives a 180-day window: a net new workspace that upgrades to a paid Plus or Business plan within 180 days of clicking your link qualifies. Attribution is last-click, so your link must be the last touch point before the user signed up.
Promotional rules
What Notion allows and forbids before you promote it.
- Self-referrals are not allowed; Notion says the program is not a way to discount your own account
- If a referral downgrades from a paid monthly plan to free, or is refunded, within the first 2 months, Notion may claw back the reward or deduct it from future commissions
- Only net new workspaces qualify, credited on a last-click basis
- Affiliate links may not be used on coupon deal or coupon aggregator websites
- Direct marketing is allowed only to your existing clients or newsletter subscribers, and only with an appropriate legal basis to contact them
- Links may be used only on your own properties and must be removed within 24 hours if Notion asks
- Sign-ups completed through a Notion account executive or another sales-assisted process earn no fee
Requirements
Applications are closed, and Notion gives no reopening date. The page names bloggers, writers, community owners, entrepreneurs, influencers and Notion creators as the people the program is for.
Who this is best for
Good fit
- Existing Notion affiliates, who can still generate links and track rewards in PartnerStack
- Existing affiliates with a newsletter, since the terms allow direct marketing to your own clients and subscribers
Poor fit
- New affiliates, since applications are paused with no published reopening date
- Affiliates whose audience already uses Notion, since only net new workspaces upgrading within 180 days qualify
- Coupon sites, which the Participant Terms bar from using Notion affiliate links
Pros and limitations
Pros
- Referrals have 180 days from the click to upgrade to a paid Plus or Business plan
- Seats added within a year of sign-up each count as a new transaction that generates a reward
- Pays a flat amount of up to $50 per activated sign-up on top of 20% of revenue across the referral's first 12 months
Limitations
- Paused to new affiliates, with no reopening date published
- The 20% share recurs for a referral's first 12 months only, not for the life of the account
- Refunds or downgrades to free within 2 months can be clawed back
- Last-click attribution means a later click on another affiliate's link takes the credit

Editor's notes
Notion's sources pull two ways on how the 20% is paid: its Marketing Program Participant Terms say fees are one-time payments unless a program policy states otherwise, while the affiliate page promises 20% of year-one revenue and says each new transaction from a customer who signed up within a year generates a reward. This record follows the affiliate page and treats the share as recurring for a referral's first 12 months.

Frequently asked questions
Can I join the Notion affiliate program?
Not currently. Notion's affiliate page says the program is not accepting new affiliates and gives no reopening date. Existing affiliates keep their PartnerStack login.
How much does the Notion affiliate program pay?
Up to $50 per activated sign-up plus 20% of each referral's revenue during its first year, so the percentage recurs for 12 months rather than for the life of the account. Additional seats bought within a year of sign-up count as new transactions, each generating a reward.
How long is the Notion affiliate cookie?
Notion gives a 180-day window rather than a cookie length: net new workspaces that upgrade to paid Plus or Business within 180 days of the click qualify, on a last-click basis.
Can I promote Notion affiliate links by email or on coupon sites?
Email is allowed only to your existing clients or newsletter subscribers, where you have a legal basis to contact them. Coupon deal and coupon aggregator websites are not allowed.
