Canvas® Score Affiliate FAQ

How do I earn commissions as a Canvas® Score affiliate?
You earn commissions for free trial sign-ups, self-service sign-ups, assisted sign-ups, and ongoing customer payments (residual commissions). Each type pays differently.
What do I earn when someone signs up for a Free Trial?

You earn a flat fee for every qualified free trial sign-up.

A qualified free trial includes:

  • A new account sign-up

  • A connected Google Business Profile

What’s the commission for Self-Service Sign-Ups?

If the customer signs up on their own without our team’s involvement, you earn a percentage of the customer’s first payment, either:

  • First month if paid monthly

  • First year if paid annually

What’s considered an Assisted Sign-Up?
An assisted sign-up means the customer enrolled after interacting with our Account Management or Sales Team. These pay a percentage of the customer’s initial payment (first month or first year).
Do affiliates earn ongoing commissions?
Yes. Affiliates earn a percentage of recurring commissions for up to 5 additional payments (monthly payments #2 through #6 or annual payments #2 through #6).
How long do residual commissions last?

Residual commissions can occur a maximum of 5 times, depending on the customer’s billing cycle:

  • Monthly: Payments 2–6

  • Annual: Renewals 2–6

How do I know whether a sign-up is considered Self-Service vs. Assisted?

Self-service = customer signs up directly through your referral link without speaking to our team. Assisted = our Account Manager or Sales rep helps the customer finalize the signup.

When do I get paid?

Affiliates are paid through PartnerStack on their regular payout schedule. Payments appear once the customer’s payment is confirmed and verified.

Is there a limit to how many commissions I can earn?

No. You can earn unlimited commissions as long as sign-ups meet the qualification requirements and customers remain active.

What counts as a qualified Free Trial?

A free trial only counts toward commission when the user:

  1. Creates an account

  2. Connects their Google Business Profile

Do I still get credit if the customer upgrades later?

Yes. As long as the customer signed up through your referral link, you’ll receive the commission based on the type of signup and future residual payments.

What happens if someone cancels early?

If the customer cancels or fails to complete their next payment, residual commissions stop.
