How Commissions and Referral Payouts Work

Two Separate Earning Models

Which one applies depends on how the customer reached RepublicNodes:

1. Storefront Sales

A customer who buys through your own branded storefront. You earn the margin between RepublicNodes' base price and the price you set for that plan (or for that customer specifically, if you've set a per-customer price). No price set means no margin earned on that sale.

2. Direct Referrals

A customer who uses your personal referral link (found in the Referrals section of your panel) to sign up and buy on the main RepublicNodes site, not your storefront. You earn a percentage commission on their invoice total, at your configured commission rate.

Where Earnings Go

Both models pay into your reseller Wallet, visible in your panel. There's no separate payout process to track per sale — your wallet balance reflects everything you've earned.

Why It's Split This Way

The storefront model rewards you for operating an actual branded hosting business with customers who are yours. The referral model rewards you for simple word-of-mouth referrals to RepublicNodes directly. They're independent and can both be earning at the same time.
