Framer is a professional web design and publishing platform that lets creators build high-performance, interactive websites on a freeform canvas.

The company grew from a prototyping tool into a full website builder, and plans run $15 to $40 per month per site.
Framer Affiliate Program Overview
The Framer affiliate program runs through PartnerStack and pays 50% of every subscription payment your referrals make for their first 12 months. That works out to $7.50 to $20 per active referral per month for up to a year, well above the 20-30% industry average for SaaS affiliate programs.
The tracking cookie lasts 90 days, so referrals have a long window to evaluate the platform before signing up. Commissions are paid monthly on the 13th via PayPal or Stripe, with a low $5 minimum payout threshold.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- 50% commission rate is significantly higher than the SaaS niche average of 20-30%
- Recurring revenue for 12 months per referred customer (not a one-time flat fee)
- 90-day cookie gives referrals plenty of time to convert
- Low $5 payout threshold via PayPal or Stripe means you get paid quickly
- Strong brand recognition among designers and developers, which means good conversion potential
Cons:
- Commission stops after 12 months, not lifetime recurring like some competing programs
- Coupon and deal sites are excluded; you need an audience in design or development
- Highly competitive niche with Webflow, Wix, and Squarespace also running affiliate programs

Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I earn as a Framer affiliate?
You earn 50% of every subscription payment made by your referred users for their first 12 months on the platform. With Framer plans ranging from $15 to $40 per month per site, that’s up to $20 per active referral per month. There’s no cap on how many customers you can refer.
Does Framer offer recurring commissions?
Yes, the commission is recurring for the first year of a customer’s subscription. You receive a payment each month as long as the referred user stays subscribed, up to a 12-month limit. After that 12-month window closes for a specific user, commissions for that user stop.
When are affiliate commissions paid out?
Commissions are processed through PartnerStack and paid on the 13th of each month for the previous month’s approved earnings. The minimum payout threshold is $5, so you’ll rarely have to wait for accumulated earnings before getting paid.
What is the cookie duration for the Framer partner program?
Framer uses a 90-day tracking cookie. If a visitor clicks your affiliate link and purchases a plan within 90 days, the referral is attributed to your account. That’s a generous window compared to many SaaS programs that run 30 days or less.
Can I use my own affiliate link to get a discount on my Framer plan?
No – self-referrals are strictly prohibited. Using your own affiliate link to purchase a Framer subscription will result in the commission being declined and could get you removed from the program. This is a standard rule across most affiliate programs on PartnerStack.
