Referral program

Earn credits toward your XOXO bill by referring other creators. Share your link or leave the referral badge on your emails and forms.

When someone follows your referral link and becomes a paying XOXO account, you earn credits worth 25% of every payment they make, before tax, for as long as they keep paying. It’s on for every account, free or paid, with nothing to apply for and no minimum to reach. Your link is in the Referrals section of Settings.

Every account has its own referral link, and everyone on the team can see it.

  1. Open Settings from the actions menu in the lower left.
  2. Find Referrals and select Copy beside your link.
  3. Share it anywhere you talk about XOXO.

Note

Your link stays the same if you rename your account.

Turn the referral badge on or off

Every email and signup form carries a referral badge that uses your link, so you’re sharing just by sending. Anyone who follows a badge and creates an account counts as your referral, the same as if you had shared the link yourself.

The badge is on by default. To hide it:

  1. Open the email or form.
  2. Select the design button in the upper left.
  3. Turn off Referral badge, then select Hide badge to confirm.

XOXO asks you to confirm because a hidden badge can’t bring in referrals. To bring the badge back, turn Referral badge on again. On an email the setting applies to that email only. On a form it applies to the landing page, the success page, the confirmation email, and the embedded version.

Referral credits

Credits arrive on your billing balance. If you have a paid account, credits apply automatically to your next invoice, and anything left over carries forward. If your account is free, your credits wait until you have an invoice to put them toward.

Referrals in Settings shows your link, how many accounts it has brought in, and your credits. That’s your lifetime total after refunds and disputes, so it can differ from your unused balance once some credits have paid an invoice.

When a referral counts

When someone follows your link, XOXO remembers the visit for 30 days. An account created in that window is added to your referral count, free or paid, and you start earning credits when it makes its first payment.

Referral rules

Referral credits are a discount on future XOXO invoices, not cash. The referral program section of our Terms of Service has the rules on refunds, closed accounts, and what counts as a real referral.
