Your Partner Referral Link

Those individuals, who visit Webflow for the first time through your link, will be identified as your referrals. This identification remains active for 90 days – the tracking period.

The standard partner referral link format appears as follows: https://webflow.grsm.io/[UNIQUE_ID]

The 90-day Tracking Period

Your partner referral link features a 90-day tracking cookie. This means that anyone clicking on your link, without prior visits to Webflow, will be credited to you via a tracking cookie. From the moment they are attributed to you, you will earn commissions on all subscriptions made until the end of the 90-day period. The subscriptions occurring within this timeframe will be eligible for payments over the specified 12 months, or until those subscriptions are discontinued.
