If you're already recommending franchise research tools to your clients, turn that into recurring account credits. Bronze, Silver, and Gold payouts — paid out monthly via Stripe.

Your first 5 referred investors in trailing 12 months.
Once you cross 5 unique referred investors in the trailing 12 months.
Top tier — 21+ unique referred investors in the trailing 12 months.
Three steps, all automatic — no spreadsheets, no monthly invoicing. Credits are locked in at Stripe session verification.
/r/:codeYour short link lands the visitor on FranchiseStack with a 60-day first-party attribution cookie. The page is the canonical one they'll use; the cookie is just the trail.
The Stripe verify-session step writes a referral_credits row keyed on the Stripe session id — so the credit is permanent and auditable even after the cookie clears.
On the 1st of each month the platform sweeps every pending credit whose period_month has closed, issues a Stripe transfer, and flips the row's status to paid. Funds land in 2–3 business days.
Every visitor who lands on FranchiseStack through your /r/:code link gets a first-party cookie set for 60 days. When they buy any product, the verify-session webhook writes a referral_credits row keyed on the Stripe session id so the credit is permanent and auditable — even if the cookie has cleared.
Pending credits accrue in your dashboard from the moment each purchase is verified. A monthly Stripe payout loop runs on the first of each month, sweeping every pending credit whose period_month has closed. Funds typically land in your connected account within 2–3 business days of the run.
Both. Each referred investor earns their tier's percentage of net credit spend on every purchase for the first 12 months — that's the upfront tier credit. After month 12, every subsequent purchase by the same referred investor earns a flat 5% tail credit for months 13–24. Credits never expire on your account.
Yes — but only on the first purchase after the cookie cleared. Once a visitor buys once via Stripe, the credit is keyed on the Stripe session id, not the cookie, so it survives cookie deletion, browser changes, and device switches for the full 24-month window.
Every paid product on the platform counts: the $49 Match Report, $99 Deep Dive, $179 Comparison, $149 FDD Analysis, $79 ROI report, $99 Territory Analysis, $299 Due Diligence, the $499/mo All Access subscription, and any future SKUs. Trial upgrades, refunds, and chargebacks don't accrue credit.
Tier promotion is automatic and based on trailing-12-month referred-investor count, not credit volume. Reach 6 unique investors and you move from Bronze (10%) to Silver (15%); reach 21 and you reach Gold (20%). There's nothing to apply for — the dashboard flips you on the next payout.
