Affiliate Program
Get paid for the plugins you already recommend
If you make music content, teach mixing, or run a community that listens to what you use, we will pay you for the sales you send our way. You get your own tracked link and an account where you can see exactly what it earned.
What you get
- A tracked link that is yours alone
- Credit for every sale it brings in
- A dashboard with your sales and earnings
- Payouts on an agreed schedule
Applications are open now. Apply with your CodWaves account and we will take it from there.
How it works
Three steps, no paperwork to start
The program is built around a link, not a coupon code. Your audience does not have to remember anything at checkout for you to get credit.
1. You get a link
We set up a tracking link under your name. Put it in a video description, a newsletter, a pinned comment, or a post. It points at any page on our site you want to send people to.
2. We track the sale
When someone follows your link and buys, the order is attributed to you automatically. The link keeps working for a while after the click, so a visitor who thinks it over for a few days still counts.
3. You see the numbers
Sign in to your affiliate account to see clicks, orders, and what you have earned. The figures come straight from our order system, not from an estimate.
Who this is for
People whose recommendations land
The audience size matters far less than whether they trust you. We would rather work with a small channel that people actually watch than a large one that nobody acts on.
Producers and engineers
You share your chain, your templates, and the tools that made the mix work.
Educators
You teach mixing, mastering, or production, in courses, videos, or one to one.
Communities and publications
You run a forum, a Discord, a newsletter, or a site that covers audio software.
What we ask
Recommend it the way you would anyway
- Say what you honestly think. A review that admits the limits of a plugin sells more than one that pretends there are none.
- Tell your audience the link is an affiliate link. Most platforms require it, and it costs you nothing in credibility when the recommendation is real.
- No paid ads on our brand name, no coupon scraping sites, and no claims about the plugins that we have not made ourselves.

FAQ
Common questions
What am I agreeing to?
The affiliate agreement, which you read and accept as part of the application. It is short and in plain language.
What do I earn per sale?
25% of the net amount: what the customer paid, minus the VAT we remit and the payment processor's fee. The exact figure for every sale, in euros, is in your dashboard.
Do I need to be a CodWaves customer?
No, though it helps. If you want to try a plugin properly before recommending it, say so in your email and we will sort you out.
What happens if a sale is refunded?
A refunded order is removed from your balance. Every one of our plugins carries a 14 day money-back guarantee, so this happens occasionally and it is nothing to worry about.
Can I use a discount code instead of a link?
Sometimes, for the right partner. Codes are handled case by case because they change the price, while a link does not. Ask us about it in your application.
How do I get paid?
By PayPal, in euros, on the schedule set out in your terms, once the refund window on the orders has closed.
