What this tour covers

You send people to ForestVPN. When they pay, you earn a share, and you keep earning while they stay. In about thirteen minutes: what you earn, how to join, every part of the dashboard, and one page built with all of it.

Who earns what

This is the partner program page. Anyone eighteen or over can join, and there is no approval queue. You join, you share, you get paid. Your link remembers a visitor for thirty days, and the last partner click counts. Once they create their account at our checkout, the customer is yours. Today the plan pays a share of the base: what the customer paid, minus tax and the payment fee. A first monthly payment pays you all of the base. Any other first payment pays forty per cent. Every renewal pays thirty per cent, for as long as your account is active and the program runs. With an introductory offer, the small first charge earns nothing, and the first full-price payment counts as the first payment. Take a card payment with no sales tax. The monthly plan earns you seven dollars seventy-six, then two dollars thirty-three at each renewal. The annual plan earns nineteen dollars forty-two, then fourteen dollars fifty-six. Each commission is held thirty days for refunds, then approved. Once you have fifty dollars approved, we prepare a statement and pay it.

What your traffic could earn

The calculator turns your traffic into an estimate. It starts at ten thousand visitors a month. It also starts from a purchase rate of one per cent. Affiliate articles we read put that rate between zero point five and five per cent. The sources are listed here. Try fifty thousand visitors, with the other sliders as they were. The estimate is about five new customers a month, and renewals make year two larger than year one. It counts at most five hundred clicks a day for a new partner, and we can raise that. And it is an estimate, not a promise. Your own analytics know your numbers better than we do.

Join in a few minutes

Joining is free, and it takes a few minutes. It takes a GByte sign-in, with your email. Use an account you have, or create one. Give your partner name, and pick your code. The page tells you if it is free. Then tell us where your traffic comes from, and accept the terms. Your code ends up in every link you make. Submit, and your dashboard opens. Your code is ready straight away. You get one partner account per person. We review at payout time, not at sign-up.

Overview and your first steps

A new account starts with a Getting started list of five steps. Share your link. Make a redirect-proof link. Create an embed key. Add a postback. And read the guide. Three steps tick by themselves: the first click, your first embed key, and your first postback. The other two tick when you open them from this list. Once all five are done, the list goes away. Below that, Overview shows clicks, registrations and payments for a range of days, up to a year. Under the chart, you can open the days as a table. Your commission appears as pending, approved and paid. It turns from pending to approved after thirty days. Here we widen the range to take in an older month. The menu has three groups. Results holds Overview, Conversions and Statements, for what happened. Tools holds Links, Embeds and Postbacks, for what you share. And Account holds your profile.

Links, sub IDs and the redirect-proof link

Links is where you build tracking links. You do not need to know the format. The page builds each link, and reads it back to show where it lands. Start with the card on top, the redirect-proof link. With nothing added, it is your short link. It sends the visitor to the home page, in their own language. Pick a page, such as Pricing, and both links update. The classic link adds your code to that page's address. The visitor lands on a clean address, and our site remembers your code for thirty days. Now add labels. You can add up to five sub IDs to say where a click came from: the post, the page, the video. You can also add a click ID from your own tracker. They come back with every conversion and postback. That is why the redirect-proof link is the recommended one. Some apps wrap the links you post, and the wrapper can cut off everything after the question mark. That would lose your code. The redirect-proof link has no question mark. The page and the labels travel in the path, so nothing is lost. The classic link is enough for links you place directly. The How it counts note says which visits are not attributed, such as some in-app browsers. And for a purchase to count, the customer has to create their account at our website checkout within thirty days.

Embeds: link, QR, pricing table, checkout on your page

Embeds put checkout on your own pages. Each one starts with an embed key. A key is public by design, because it sits in your page's markup. To make a key, name it and list the pages where it may appear. Each page is written as https and its domain, with no path. Then choose a theme, a language, a price market and the wording on the button. The preview updates as you go. Every key gives you a checkout link and a QR code. Use the link in a post or a description. Use the code in print, on a slide, or in a video. The pricing table shows our current plans on your page. The prices come from us, so you never type one. When a visitor picks a plan, our checkout page opens, credited to you. Checkout on your page opens our checkout over your own page, so the visitor does not leave it. We switch it on for each key, after we check your page. This is how it looks to your visitor. Settings is where you change the pages, the theme or the language, any time. What protects a key is its list of pages. To stop a key, choose Revoke key in the header menu. Pages that still use it fall back to a plain link to our site.

Postbacks, Send test and the delivery log

A postback tells your own tracker about a conversion as it happens. This page lists your endpoints. You can have up to five. To add one, choose GET or POST. Write your address with placeholders, like the click ID, the event, the amount and your first sub ID. Then pick the events you want: registration, trial start, first payment, renewal, refund and chargeback. Save it, and the signing secret appears. It is shown once, so copy it to your server. We sign every request with it, and your server should check the signature before it trusts one. Send test fires a signed test straight away, so you see your server answer, and how long it took. On the receiving side, the request arrives and its signature checks out. The delivery log shows each attempt. If your server does not answer with success, we try again, and you can replay a delivery yourself. We never send an account number, an email, a device or an IP address.

Conversions

Conversions lists every event from the customers you brought. Each line has a status. Pending is a commission waiting out its hold. Approved means the hold is over. Rejected will not be paid. Paid was on a statement we paid. Filter by event, and see what you earned on each. Scroll right for the click ID and your sub IDs, to match each line to the post it came from. A refund shows as a negative line, and it reverses its commission. You can download the table as a CSV, for your own books.

Statements, payouts and your account

Statements group approved commission into one payout. We make them by hand, and there is no fixed date yet. We pay once your approved balance reaches fifty dollars. Each statement lists the lines it pays. A first payout may wait until the card dispute windows have passed, up to ninety days after payment. Profile shows where we pay you, and who can sign in. You cannot edit payout details here. To set them, or to add a teammate, write to partners@fvpn.net. Write from the address you sign in with. We reply to confirm, and we do not pay within fourteen days of a change. The menu at the top of the sidebar lists every partner account you belong to. Sign out is at the bottom of the menu.

A worked example: the demo page x-ray

Here is everything so far on one page. It is a made-up partner's blog, called The Remote Desk. To a reader it looks like a normal blog post, with a recommendation in it. Press How this page is built, and an x-ray layer turns on. It shows the code behind each placement, copied from the dashboard. Nothing here is special. These are the same snippets you get in Links and Embeds. Here are a classic link and a redirect-proof link. Each one has its own sub IDs, so you could tell them apart in Conversions. Further down are a QR code and the pricing table. Both come from one embed key. The pricing table loads our current plans, and the QR code opens the same checkout link. And checkout on the page. Lower still is the postback log. It fills as signed postbacks arrive. Next is the code that checks our signature. And last are the lines your page's security policy needs, so that the embed can load.

Build pages with the guide and the AI brief

The guide is about pages that earn. Its first rule: one page per audience, one promise, and one button. Plan your pages in a table: audience, angle, page, link form and tool. Then play fair. Say that you earn a commission, in plain words, next to the link. And say only what our site says about ForestVPN. The AI brief tells an AI assistant how our links and embeds work. Paste it, or give your assistant the link, and it can draft a page with the right links. You check it, and you publish only what you would say yourself. And the docs hold every detail, including how to check a postback signature.

Join

Three things to remember. Share a link, put an embed on a page, and watch your postbacks. To join, go to partners.fvpn.net/join. It takes a few minutes, and your code is ready straight away.
