Refer a merchant. Earn for the lifetime of the account.
Built for developers, agencies, SaaS founders, and consultants who already serve merchants and want a recurring revenue line. Send a merchant, collect a residual - for as long as they process. No quotas, no exclusivity.
The referral program in 6 points.
This is the lightweight track. No quotas, no portal to manage, no merchant boarding to do. You send the link, we do the rest, and you collect for as long as the merchant processes.
Email-based introductions
Email sales@corecommerce.com to introduce a merchant - loop us into a thread, send a warm intro, or pass the contact info. The account is attributed to you for the lifetime of the relationship. Simple, direct, no expiring cookies or third-party tracking.
You do not need to sell
You introduce. CoreGateway runs the demo, the application, underwriting, and onboarding. You stay the trusted introducer and collect residual once the merchant processes.
Lifetime residual on every account
Not a one-time bounty. You earn every month the merchant processes - the residual scales with their volume and continues for the life of their CoreGateway account.
We do not poach your merchants
Hard line. The merchants you refer are tagged to you and we do not cross-sell them outside the support they ask for. Your relationship stays your relationship.
No quotas. No exclusivity.
Refer one merchant a year or fifty a month. No monthly minimums to maintain status. No requirement to refer only CoreGateway. Your work, your pace.
Direct partner support
Your referral has a question, you have a question, you have a direct human on our partner team handling both. Email any time - no support-ticket gauntlet, no automated portal.
From intro to first residual.
Three steps. The middle one is the only one that requires you to do anything beyond sending a link.
Email us to start
Send a partner intro to sales@corecommerce.com or use the Talk to Sales form. We reply within 1 business day, confirm your payout structure, and send a one-pager you can forward to merchants.
Introduce a merchant
Email sales@corecommerce.com with the merchant intro - loop us into a thread, send a warm intro, or pass the contact info. The merchant is tagged to you for the lifetime of the relationship.
Residual hits your account
Once the merchant is processing, your residual pays monthly. Monthly residual statements come direct from our team. Email us any time about pending referrals - real humans on the partner side, not a ticket queue.
