About Pipedrive
Pipedrive sells a pipeline-first CRM aimed at small sales teams. Its affiliate program runs on PartnerStack with three published tiers. Everyone starts at Rising (20%, no minimum). Growth (30%) needs 2 to 5 sales a month for six consecutive months, and Power (custom terms) needs 6 or more sales a month for six consecutive months. The program page says the 12-month revenue share includes add-ons the customer buys in that period. The terms define Revenue as licence fees and exclude consulting, integration, professional services and purchasable credits. The terms' commission section mentions only the 20% rate; the 30% and custom tiers appear on the program page alone. Commission amounts are locked by the 7th day of the month, two months after the customer's transaction, and paid on the 13th.

Promotional rules
What Pipedrive allows and forbids before you promote it.
- No bidding on Pipedrive brand keywords (including "Pipedrive", "www.pipedrive.com" and "Pipedrive CRM"), and negative-matching those terms in paid campaigns is mandatory.
- Brand terms may not appear in ad display URLs, and paid ads may not link directly to a Pipedrive sales page.
- Domain names containing "pipedrive" are not allowed.
- Email is allowed only to permission-based subscribers, using pre-approved materials.
- Offline promotion needs Pipedrive's written approval.
- No commission if the referred customer cancels within the first 30 days or is already a paying Pipedrive customer.
Requirements
Every applicant goes through a review: the terms say prospective partners must submit an application to Pipedrive through PartnerStack. The program page states no sign-up fee, no minimum sales requirement and no cap on earnings. A terminated account cannot be reactivated, but Pipedrive invites former partners to reapply through the same form. Influencers and influencer agencies have a separate application route.
- An application reviewed by Pipedrive through PartnerStack
- Pipedrive employees and their families are not eligible
Who this is best for
Good fit
- Publishers who can sustain 2 or more Pipedrive sales a month for six months, the bar for the 30% Growth tier
- CRM reviewers whose readers compare tools for weeks, since the 90-day window covers a slow B2B evaluation
Poor fit
- Affiliates who want lifetime revenue share: every customer's commission ends after 12 months
- Affiliates who rely on brand-keyword PPC, which the terms prohibit outright
Pros and limitations
Pros
- PartnerStack releases Pipedrive earnings for withdrawal once the balance passes $5
- Tier criteria are published in sales per month, so the path from 20% to 30% is measurable
- The 12-month share covers add-ons a referred customer buys during that year, per the program page
Limitations
- Each customer's commission stops after 12 months, even at the 30% Growth rate
- Cancellations in the first 30 days and existing paying customers earn nothing
- A sale is not payable until the 13th, two months after the transaction month, so cash lags revenue
How to join
