Overview
The TrekMail Affiliate Program is a performance-based partnership that pays commission on qualifying purchases by customers you refer. Unlike the standard referral program, which gives existing TrekMail users free months for inviting friends, the affiliate program is designed for publishers, agencies, content creators, and marketers who actively promote TrekMail to an external audience.
When someone clicks your affiliate link and subscribes to a paid TrekMail plan, you earn a percentage of their subscription revenue for up to 12 months. Commissions also apply to Email Verifier credit purchases and to the Storage add-on, so there are multiple ways to earn from a single referred customer.
What you are promoting
TrekMail is a multi-domain email hosting platform with four key product areas:
- Email hosting: custom-domain email with flat per-account pricing and no per-seat fees. Domains, mailboxes, SMTP, forwarding, filters, aliases, catch-all, and DMARC/SPF/DKIM are part of the platform.
- Custom webmail client: a browser-based email client with contacts, calendar, rich-text compose, dark mode, scheduled sending, templates, identities, and PWA installation. It is included with TrekMail email hosting.
- Email Verifier: credit-based email-list verification. Qualifying credit purchases can generate commission in addition to plan subscriptions.
- Storage add-on: extra storage that customers can add to an eligible email plan. It has its own commission scale, so check the rate shown on each commission in your dashboard.
The strongest commercial angles are flat pricing versus per-seat competitors and the webmail client as a reason to choose TrekMail over bare-bones email hosting. Match the message to the product and audience you actually know. For example, a storage-focused audience should see the current Drive add-on details, not a generic email-hosting pitch.
How it works
The program operates on a simple model:
- You enrol, submit an application, and prepare your workspace.
- After approval, you create active tracking links and share them in your content, ads, or community.
- When someone clicks your link, a 30-day attribution cookie is set in their browser.
- If they register within that window, the attribution is saved to their account. Qualifying purchases can then generate commission during the revenue-share period.
- Commissions are held for 30 days to account for refunds and chargebacks, then become available to withdraw.
- You earn a share of that customer's subscription for up to 12 months.
What you earn
Your commission rate depends on your tier:
| Tier | Commission rate | Who starts here |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | 30% | Everyone on approval |
| Tier 2 | 35% | Upgraded at admin discretion based on performance |
| Tier 3 | 40% | Upgraded at admin discretion based on performance |
All new affiliates start at Tier 1. Tier upgrades are reviewed individually based on conversion volume, traffic quality, and consistency over time. There is no automatic threshold. Upgrades are a deliberate decision.

How this differs from the referral program
The referral program is for any TrekMail user who wants to invite people they know. It rewards you with free months of service.
The affiliate program is a separate, application-only partnership with cash commissions paid in USD. The two programs can run side by side. Your referral link and affiliate links are independent.
Who the program is for
The affiliate program is a good fit if you:
- Run a blog, newsletter, YouTube channel, or podcast with an audience that includes agencies, teams, or solo operators
- Manage an SEO or comparison site covering email hosting, productivity tools, or SaaS products
- Work in web development, hosting, or IT consulting and can recommend TrekMail to clients
- Build developer or AI-agent tooling and can reach a technical audience
- Create content about browser-based email clients, Google Workspace alternatives, or productivity tools. The webmail angle can be useful for comparison-focused audiences.
- Run paid advertising campaigns and want to promote a product with a proven commercial angle
There are no hard requirements around audience size. Every application is reviewed individually.
