FAQs

Is the Buffer Partner Program right for me?

If you are a content creator, run a community, or work with clients who need help with social media, and you’re excited to recommend tools you trust, you’re likely a good fit.

Do I need to be a Buffer customer?

You don’t have to be a customer, but we do look for partners who are already familiar with Buffer. The best-performing partners are usually people who already use and enjoy the product.

How much can I earn?

You earn 25% of the subscription revenue from each new paying customer you refer, for their first 12 months. There’s no set cap on your earnings, as long as referrals follow the program terms.

Does it cost anything to join?

No. Joining the Buffer Partner Program is free.

How does tracking work?

Your unique link tracks clicks and signups through our partner platform’s server-side event system. Your link has a unique identifier and destination URL. When someone clicks it, our partner’s servers record the event (time, referrer, device info, location approximation) before redirecting the user to the final URL. These recorded events appear in your dashboard.

Will I get support from Buffer?

Of course! We are here to guide you, and once accepted, you'll get access to logos, screenshots, messaging examples, and content prompts so you can start creating affiliate content quickly. You’ll have a direct line to our partner support inbox.

When will I get paid?

Payouts happen on a regular schedule once you’ve reached the minimum payout amount and any refund periods have passed. Full details are covered in the program terms.

Can I run paid ads with my link?

We don’t allow bidding on Buffer brand terms or ads that compete directly with Buffer’s own campaigns. You’ll find the full list of what’s okay and what isn’t in the program terms.

Where can I get help?

You can contact our partner support inbox at any time with questions about your account, tracking, or payouts. Email us at partners@buffer.com
