About Stan Store
Stan Store gives creators a link-in-bio storefront for selling digital products, courses, memberships and bookings, on a Creator plan or a Creator Pro plan with a 14-day free trial and no free tier. Its referral program is open only to people who already pay for Stan: the referral link sits in the Referrals tab of your dashboard, there is no application, and anyone who signs up through it is tracked to you automatically. You earn 20% of the referred creator's subscription, monthly or annual, for as long as they stay subscribed, which Stan's help center tabulates per plan: $6 a month or $60 a year on Creator, and $19.80 a month or $189 a year on Creator Pro. Commission starts once the referral's 14-day trial converts and is paid to Stripe or PayPal 3 to 5 days after each renewal. Cancelling your own Stan subscription ends every referral commission, including on active referrals. Paid ads are not part of the program. This is separate from Affiliate Share, the Creator Pro feature that lets creators recruit their customers to resell the creator's own products.

Attribution window. Stan Store does not publish a cookie window on any page we could read. Its help center only says sign-ups through your link are tracked automatically, and that a referrer can be corrected within 45 days of sign-up (the 14-day trial plus 30 days) if the referred creator asks.
Promotional rules
What Stan Store allows and forbids before you promote it.
- Paid ads are not part of the program; if Stan's system detects them, referral commissions on your account can be switched off.
- Stan describes the program as word-of-mouth only: link sharing, shout-outs and genuine recommendations.
- Cancelling your own Stan subscription stops all referral commission, even on referrals who are still paying.
- Referrer corrections are made only at the referred creator's request and only within 45 days of sign-up.
- Changing your Stan username changes your referral link, so older posted links need replacing; existing referrals keep tracking.
Requirements
There is no application. Any Stan subscriber can copy their referral link from the Referrals tab or add it to their store as a Stan Affiliate Link product, and sign-ups through it are tracked automatically. Commission depends on keeping your own Stan subscription active.
- An active, paid Stan Store subscription
- A Stripe or PayPal account connected to receive payouts
Who this is best for
Good fit
- Creators already selling on Stan who can show their own storefront to followers asking how it was built
- Coaches and course sellers whose audiences are other creators likely to pay for Creator Pro, where 20% comes to $19.80 a month per referral
Poor fit
- Bloggers and review sites with no Stan subscription of their own, since payment requires an active account
- Affiliates who rely on paid search or social ads, which the program excludes

Frequently asked questions
How much does the Stan Store referral program pay?
20% of the referred creator's subscription. Stan lists this as $6 a month or $60 a year for a Creator referral, and $19.80 a month or $189 a year for Creator Pro, paid for as long as they stay subscribed.
Do I need a Stan subscription to earn referral commission?
Yes. Stan requires an active subscription to receive referral commission, and if you cancel your account you stop earning on all referrals, including ones who are still paying.
When are Stan referral commissions paid?
3 to 5 days after each renewal, monthly or annual, once the referral's 14-day trial has ended. Payouts go to Stripe if connected, otherwise PayPal, and PayPal payouts can be delayed to the next month if Stan's PayPal balance runs short.
Is Stan's Affiliate Share the same as the referral program?
No. Affiliate Share is a Creator Pro feature that turns a creator's customers into affiliates for that creator's own products. The referral program pays you for bringing new creators onto Stan itself, though a buyer whose free Affiliate Only account later upgrades to paid Stan is credited to the creator whose product they bought.
