How does the Cord8 partner program work?
Apply
Tell us who you are and how you would share Cord8.
We review it
We read every application by hand. Approval is not automatic, and we may decline.
We send your agreement
If we approve you, we email you the partner agreement. It sets out your referral fee, when it starts and how a referral is recorded.
You recommend Cord8
Tell people you may be paid, then recommend Cord8 to businesses that could use it. The referral fee in your agreement applies when a business you referred pays.

Advisers and other businesses can apply too. Choose Other on the form.
Why would your clients or audience want Cord8?
Cord8 is rostering, timesheet and stock software for small teams. Everything below is in the product today. Cord8 does not link to accounting software. Cord8 does not pay wages.
Publish and reuse rosters
Draft a week, publish it when it is ready, and save shift templates to reuse.
Build the week, then publish. Restock suggestions
Cord8 suggests how much to order from recent use, supplier lead time, minimum order and pack size. For a product with no history yet, it works from your low-stock level.
Low stock becomes a suggested order, grouped by supplier.
How much is the referral fee?
We confirm your referral fee in your partner agreement when we approve you.
What do I have to tell people?
That you may be paid. Say it clearly, before you recommend Cord8, and every time you recommend it.
Before you recommend it. Tell people first, not after they have signed up.
Every time. Each email, video, post or conversation where you recommend Cord8 needs it.
In plain words. A sentence anyone would notice. A label like "affiliate" or a hashtag on its own may not be enough.
Example wording. “I may be paid a referral fee if you become a Cord8 customer. You are free to say no or choose another tool.”
Your partner agreement makes this a condition. Rules differ by profession, so the accountants, bookkeepers and creators pages cover what applies to each. Saying it costs you nothing and protects your relationship with the people you advise.
Partner program questions
What is the Cord8 partner program?
The partner program is for people in Australia who recommend Cord8 to businesses, and we confirm the referral fee in the partner agreement when we approve a partner. You apply, and we review each application by hand.
How much is the referral fee?
If we approve you, your partner agreement sets a referral fee on customers you refer who pay for Cord8. It also says how long the fee runs and how it is paid.
When does the referral fee start?
Your partner agreement confirms the terms and the start date. We review each application and confirm both when we approve you.
Is it a rebate, a commission or a referral fee?
We call it a referral fee: a payment to you for introducing a customer. It is not a discount to the customer.
Do I have to tell people I am paid?
Yes, you must say clearly, upfront and each time you recommend Cord8 that you may be paid when they become a customer.
Does it cost anything to apply?
No, there is no cost to apply.
Can I refer my own business?
No, you cannot earn a referral fee on your own business or one you own or control.
