Partner programme
Recommend Kora VPN with a code of your own and earn a share of every pass bought with it, for as long as the code lives. Passes are one-off — 48 hours, 72 hours or 7 days, no subscription — so the pitch is short: a VPN for the trip, the tournament, the match weekend.
1. How it works
- You receive a code and a ready-made link. The code gives your audience a discount on a pass; every paid order that uses it earns you a commission.
- The code is the tracker. There are no affiliate links with parameters, no cookies, nothing to install on your side. If your audience cares about privacy, that is the point.
- Commission applies to every order made with your code, every time. No first-order-only rule, no cookie window, no cap.
- Each code keeps the rate it was issued at. A promotion means a new code at the new rate; your old one keeps working until you have switched.
2. Tiers
| Tier | Commission | Customer discount | How you get there |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 15% | up to 15% off | Accepted application |
| Creator | 25% | up to 15% off | 30 paid passes in a calendar month, or on application with a relevant audience (a community of 2,000+, a channel of 5,000+, a newsletter of 1,000+) |
| Pro | 35% | up to 10% off | 150 paid passes in a calendar month |
| Elite | 50% | up to 5% off | 500 paid passes in a calendar month. Negotiated partnerships start at Pro and move to Elite by agreement |
A paid pass is an order with a confirmed payment, by card or crypto. Free passes never count. Months are calendar months in UTC. Tiers are reviewed on the 1st of each month against the previous one. Promotion is immediate. Demotion happens only after three consecutive months below a tier's floor, one tier at a time, with 30 days' notice.
Deal and coupon aggregator sites are welcome at Starter, and stay at Starter regardless of volume.
Elite carries one condition, and only that one: where we agree Elite as part of a negotiated partnership, Kora is the only VPN in the channel or campaign it covers — that newsletter, that community, that event. It never applies across the rest of your business, and no other tier asks for exclusivity. If you already earn from another VPN programme, keep it: a non-exclusive negotiated deal at Pro is the normal starting point.
3. Payouts
- Monthly. Your statement arrives by the 5th for the previous month; the transfer follows by the 10th.
- Minimum $25 per payout by bank transfer, or $10 in USDC — that rail is fee-free, so there is less to protect against. Smaller balances roll over; nothing expires.
- Bank transfer (Wise / SEPA) or USDC on Base, your choice. USDC is fee-free and same-day.
- Commission is calculated on what the customer actually paid, net of refunds. A refund after a payout simply lowers your next balance.
4. What you receive
- Your code and the pre-filled campaign link, the same day you are accepted.
- A free 7-Day Pass to try the product, and passes to give away on request: five at Starter and Creator, twenty-five at Pro, and a negotiated block of 48-Hour Passes — 50 to 500 — for partnerships built around them, such as a client campaign, an event pack or a booking gift. Giveaway passes are single-use, expire after 30 days and earn no commission.
- Ready-made copy for the angles that work: no subscription, travel, a temporary need, simplicity, privacy.
- A monthly statement: paid orders, refunds, net, commission, paid out, owed.
5. Rules
- No paid search on our brand terms ("Kora VPN", "koravpn").
- No spam, no unsolicited direct messages, no posting codes into communities that did not ask.
- No claims we do not make ourselves: not "anonymous", not "untraceable", not for anything illegal. "Private browsing, temporary access" is the line.
- Buying passes with your own code for personal use is fine; reselling passes is not.
- Codes are issued for the placement we agreed. If a code meant for a community or a piece of content turns up on a coupon aggregator, we reissue it and you keep everything earned to that date. Deal and coupon sites are issued aggregator codes from the start, so this rule never applies to them.
- Either side can end the partnership at any time. Earned commission is always paid.
