About the Referral Partnership Program

The Referral Partnership Program rewards you for introducing other service-based businesses to Alternative Payments.

    You can copy your referral link to share directly by clicking Copy link, or click Add new company to manually enter a company name or email. If you are referring an existing company, you can find a list of your current customers under the All companies section.

  1. Create a new referral email template, or select an existing template
