About Stagingmate
Stagingmate is an AI virtual staging tool for real estate listings. An agent, photographer or property manager uploads a photo of an empty or cluttered room, picks one of 13 interior styles or a reference photo, and downloads a furnished, watermark-free image in under a minute. The model is built to keep walls, floors, windows and fixtures as photographed and add only furniture and decor, with decluttering included on every plan. Pricing starts with 10 free photos and no card, then Starter at $19 a month for 25 photos, Pro at $99 a month for 200, 30% off billed yearly, or pay-as-you-go credit packs from $9.50. The affiliate program is run on Tolt, which the affiliate terms (last updated 13 October 2026) name as the provider of the partner portal and tracking. Sign-up is automatic: there is no application to wait on. Commission is 30% of each payment for the referred customer’s first 12 months, counted from their first payment, and it covers monthly and yearly plans, renewals and credit packs alike. The audience is narrow and specific: real estate photographers, brokerages, coaches who train agents, and proptech newsletters. That is also why the rate is worth more than it looks. A photographer who stages every listing tends to land on the $99 Pro plan, which is $29.70 a month to the referrer for a year.

Attribution window. The 90-day cookie only counts a purchase made in the same browser the link was opened in, by a customer who has never had a paid Stagingmate account. The terms say plainly that blocked or cleared cookies and cross-device purchases cannot be credited, and that when two partners refer the same customer the referral goes to whichever one the tracking credits, with the tracking records final. For a buyer who tries the 10 free photos on a phone and upgrades later on a desktop, that is a real gap.
Promotional rules
What Stagingmate allows and forbids before you promote it.
- No bidding on “Stagingmate”, “Staging Mate”, “stagingmate.com” or any misspelling in Google Ads, Bing Ads or any paid search or social ad platform, and no use of those names in ad copy or display URLs
- No domains, social profiles or app names containing the brand or a variation of it
- Discounts, coupons or deals may only be promoted if Stagingmate gave them to you
- No spam or unsolicited messages; email to your own audience is fine
- No self-referrals, including accounts belonging to your company or a team you are on
- No cash, gifts or other rewards to people for signing up or buying through your link
- No cookie stuffing, hidden frames, pop-unders or browser extensions that set the cookie without a real click
- Refunds, disputes and chargebacks cancel the commission, or are deducted from future earnings if it was already paid
Requirements
The affiliate page says every application is approved automatically and that you get your link within a minute. The terms keep the right to review any account later and to decline, suspend or remove partners who break them. Stagingmate may ask for a W-9 or W-8 tax form or identity details before paying, and can hold payouts until it has them.
- Application review
- Approved automatically, link in a minute
- Traffic minimum
- No fee and no minimum to join; every application is approved automatically
- Be at least 18 and able to form a binding contract
- Disclose next to the link that you may earn a commission, in line with the FTC endorsement guides or local advertising law
- Use the Stagingmate name, logo and screenshots unmodified, and stop using them when you leave the program
Who this is best for
Good fit
- Real estate photographers who already deliver listing photos and can offer staging on every shoot
- Agent coaches, brokerage trainers and proptech newsletters whose readers list vacant homes each month
- Affiliates whose referrals will likely buy the $99 Pro plan or yearly billing, where 30% for 12 months adds up fastest
Poor fit
- Affiliates who want lifetime recurring income; commission stops 12 months after the customer’s first payment
- General tech or AI audiences with no real estate buyers among them
- Anyone whose readers often switch devices between the free trial and the purchase, since cross-device sales are not credited
Pros and limitations
Pros
- 30% applies to credit packs as well as subscriptions, so pay-as-you-go landlords still earn you commission
- A 90-day cookie gives a listing agent three months to come back and buy after the 10 free photos
- Automatic approval and a $25 payout minimum mean the first payout comes quickly
- Yearly plans earn 30% of the full annual payment up front, inside the 12-month window
Limitations
- Commission ends 12 months after the referred customer’s first payment, however long they stay subscribed
- Only new customers count: anyone who has ever had a paid account before clicking is excluded
- Stagingmate can change the rate, cookie window or payout rules at any time, effective when posted, with no notice period
- Cross-device purchases and cleared cookies are not credited, and the tracking records are final
- No two-tier commission, deep-linking or general PPC policy is published

Editor's notes
The 12-month window is counted from the customer’s first payment, not from your click, so a 90-day cookie and a slow buyer do not eat into it. The terms took their current form on 13 October 2026 and let Stagingmate change the rate, the referral window or the payout rules at any time, effective when posted; changes do not reduce commission already earned. The program is run on Tolt, and the record rests only on Stagingmate’s own affiliate page, affiliate terms and pricing page.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the Stagingmate affiliate program pay?

Is Stagingmate affiliate commission lifetime recurring?
No. It recurs for 12 months from the customer’s first payment and then stops. Payments the customer makes after those 12 months earn no commission, even if they stay on the same plan.
How long is the Stagingmate affiliate cookie?
90 days. A purchase counts if a new customer buys within 90 days of clicking your link, in the same browser, and the tracking records it. Cleared or blocked cookies and purchases on another device are not credited.
When does Stagingmate pay affiliates?
On NET-30 terms: earnings for a calendar month become payable about 30 days after that month ends, once your unpaid balance reaches $25. You choose bank transfer or PayPal in the partner dashboard, and smaller balances carry over.
Can I bid on Stagingmate in Google Ads?
No. The terms ban bidding on “Stagingmate”, “Staging Mate”, “stagingmate.com” or any misspelling in Google Ads, Bing Ads or any other paid search or social ad platform, and using those names in ad copy or display URLs.
