How It Works

  1. Get your link — Go to Dashboard → Affiliate and copy your unique referral URL
  2. Share it — Post it on Reddit, YouTube, Discord, your website, wherever your audience is
  3. Someone signs up — A new owner creates a store using your link
  4. They make sales — Every time ForgeStore collects a platform fee from their store, you earn 20% of that fee
  5. Get paid — Your balance accumulates and you can request a payout at any time

Commission calculation example

You refer an owner. They sell €1,000/month on their store.
ForgeStore fee (7% free plan): €70/month
Your commission (20% of fee): €14/month
Over 12 months: €168 from one referral.
💡
If your referral upgrades to Pro (3% fee), the math is slightly different but still compounds nicely if they have high volume.

Getting Paid

Commissions accumulate in your affiliate balance. Once your balance reaches €20, you can request a payout in USDT (TRC-20 recommended).

  1. Go to Dashboard → Affiliate → Request Payout
  2. Enter your USDT wallet address
  3. Submit — payouts are processed within 24 hours on business days

Store Affiliate Program (for your players)

You can also run your own affiliate program for your store — letting players earn credit for referring friends to your Minecraft/Rust server store.

  1. Go to Dashboard → Store → Affiliates
  2. Enable the player affiliate program
  3. Set the commission rate for your players (e.g. 10% of each sale they refer)
  4. Players generate their link from Your Store → Affiliate
  5. When someone buys using their link, they earn store credit
💡
Player affiliates are paid in store credit, not cash — they can only spend it on packages in your store. This drives more revenue rather than reducing it.
