Refer and Earn
Every Paid Promotions account has a personal referral code. Share it: whenever someone who redeemed your code completes a booking — as a buyer or a seller — you earn a share of Onflow Ads's platform fee on that booking. The money comes out of Onflow Ads's commission, never out of anyone's payout or price, so referring costs the referred person nothing and takes nothing from the deal.
Where to find it
The Refer & earn card sits in your bookings queue at https://onflowads.com/telegram/dashboard/paid-promotion/bookings. It shows:
- Your code — this is your account's public OFA ID (the same ID shown on your account page).
- The share percentage — "N% of our fee on their bookings", stated right on the card.
- Your running tally — how many people you have referred and how much you have earned so far.
How the money works
- Someone redeems your code (see below). They are linked as your referral — once, permanently.
- Every time that person completes a booking on Paid Promotions, you earn the stated percentage of Onflow Ads's platform fee on that booking.
- The credit lands in your wallet automatically, as a transaction labeled "Paid promotion referral commission". There is nothing to claim.
Details worth knowing:
- Both sides pay out. The system is two-sided: a completed booking credits the advertiser's referrer and the owner's referrer. So it does not matter whether the person you referred buys placements or sells them — completed bookings on either side earn you commission.
- Only bookings completed after the link was made count. Redeeming a code never retroactively earns commission on past activity.
- It never touches the deal. The commission is carved out of Onflow Ads's own fee. The owner's payout and the advertiser's price on a referred booking are exactly what they would have been anyway.
Redeeming a code (if you were referred)
If someone referred you, apply their code once:
- On the same Refer & earn card, find the field "Got a code? Enter it".
- Type their code and press Apply.
- On success: "Referral applied — your referrer earns a small share of our fee on your bookings, at no cost to you."
The field disappears once a code is applied — an account can be referred exactly once, and the link cannot be changed afterwards.
The rules
| Rule | What you will see |
|---|---|
| A code must belong to a real account | "That referral code isn't valid." |
| You cannot refer yourself | "You can't refer yourself." |
| One referral link per account, ever | "You've already used a referral code." |
| No self-referral through a second account | Accounts that share an identity (for example the same linked Telegram) cannot refer each other |
The self-referral guard matters: creating a second account to redeem your own code earns nothing — the platform recognizes shared identities and rejects the link.
FAQ
When exactly do I get paid?
Commissions are credited automatically shortly after a referred user's booking reaches completed — that is, after the placement was delivered, verified, and paid out. Cancelled, declined, refunded, or disputed-away bookings carry no completed fee, so they earn nothing.
Is there a limit on how many people I can refer, or how much I can earn?
No cap on referrals, and each referred user keeps earning you commission on every booking they complete — for as long as they use the platform.
Can I redeem a code after I have already been active on the marketplace?
Yes — but your referrer only earns on bookings you complete after the code is applied, never on your past history.
Is the referral credit withdrawable?
Yes. Referral commissions are credited to your wallet as ordinary earned funds, the same as a placement payout — not as locked promotional credit. Your wallet page shows your withdrawable figure; see Escrow and getting paid for how withdrawals work.
Where does the code come from — can I choose it?
It is your account's public OFA ID, the same identifier shown on your account page, so it is stable and cannot be edited. Share it as it appears on the card.
Does referring someone cost them anything?
Nothing at all. The commission is carved out of Onflow Ads's own fee, so a referred advertiser pays the same price and a referred owner receives the same payout they would have anyway.
