Three things most programs get wrong

We fixed them before opening the program, which is why the rate is not the whole pitch.

Orders in our app count

Most programs lose the sale the moment a shopper opens an app. Ours doesn’t. If someone taps your link and buys in the Sterling app, you get paid for it. So far that is $96,400 in orders that would otherwise have gone unattributed.

Your rate goes up and stays up

Tiers are earned on a rolling quarter and never cut mid-period. When a rate changes you get 14 days’ notice, in writing, before it applies to anything you post.

You keep everything else

No exclusivity, no content approvals, no minimum posting schedule. Stay in every other program you’re in — including the affiliate network you already use.

What you'll earn

Rates apply to the whole catalog. Tiers are set on attributed sales in a rolling quarter.

Everyone starts at Standard

Standard 8% Where you start

Silver 10% $800+ a quarter

Gold 12% $4,000+ a quarter

Plus limited-time offers on specific collections — currently up to 27% — that you can accept or ignore.

From applying to getting paid

Step one Apply

Tell us where you post and what you cover. Three minutes, no media kit.

Step two Hear back in two days

A person reads it. If you’re not a fit yet we say why and when to try again.

Step three Link to anything

Paste any Sterling URL and it becomes yours. Works in bios, stories, captions and video descriptions.

Step four Get paid monthly

Orders clear for returns first, then pay out to your bank or PayPal.

“I moved three programs into one link-in-bio and Sterling is the only one that paid me for the app orders. That was a third of my quarter.”

Before you apply

Do I need a minimum following?: A stated audience of 50k–200k on a platform you post to gets you approved automatically. Below that a person still reads your application — engagement matters more than reach.
When exactly do I get paid?: Orders become payable 30 days after the order, to cover returns. Everything payable is sent on the 3rd provided the balance is over $25.
Which countries are supported?: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia today. Apply anyway — we’ll tell you the moment your country opens.
Can I stay in my affiliate network?: Yes. If you already promote us through Impact or CJ, nothing there changes — we match your publisher account so you are never paid twice or paid nothing.
What happens to a returned order?: It comes off before it is ever paid, so nothing is clawed back from a payout you have already received.
Do I have to disclose the partnership?: Yes, on every post that carries a link. It is the one rule we enforce, and the terms spell out what counts.
Do purchases in the app count?: Yes. A tap on your link opens the app when someone has it installed, and the order still comes back to you.

What we ask

A public account on at least one platform
Original content you post yourself
A country our payout rails cover
