The Vivé Macro Affiliate Program rewards subscribers who introduce new investors to the platform. Forty percent commission on every new subscription in the first year, declining gradually to a lifetime trail. Built directly on Stripe Connect Express. Payouts release on a regular cycle once cleared of refund risk.
The Vivé Macro Affiliate Program is a structured, two-tier referral arrangement designed for existing Vivé subscribers. Direct referrals (Layer 1) earn recurring commission on every successful subscription cycle of the customer they introduced, with rates that step down across the first three years and persist as a trail thereafter. Indirect referrals (Layer 2) extend the structure one degree: subscribers brought in by affiliates that you yourself referred earn you a first-year override.
Attribution is measured by a sixty-day last-click cookie window. Once a referred visitor subscribes, that customer is locked to the affiliate's account, and commissions accrue automatically on every successful subscription charge. Refunds and chargebacks reverse the underlying commission through an automated state machine. Reconciliation happens against future earnings, never via direct invoice.
The entire program runs on institutional-grade payout infrastructure. Identity verification, payout rails, and tax form handling are all administered by your chosen provider through their hosted onboarding. There is no manual claim process, no spreadsheet reconciliation, and no waiting on operator review for routine commissions. The structure mirrors what institutional research desks have offered to introducing brokers for decades, made directly available to the subscriber base of a research product for the first time.
Direct referrals carry the principal commission rate, declining over the first three years and continuing thereafter. The second layer adds a single-year override for affiliates referred by other affiliates.

We provision a Stripe Connect Express account on your behalf. Complete Stripe's hosted identity verification, typically in under three minutes. Verification status syncs back to your portal automatically.
Your unique referral link appears in your Affiliate Dashboard the moment your account is approved. Share it anywhere: social, email, private community, your own publication.
Every successful subscription charge from your referrals generates a commission record. Held for sixty days against refund risk, then released to your connected Stripe account on the next payout cycle.
You must hold an active Vivé Macro subscription at any tier (Standard, Advanced, or Institutional) to apply. The subscription must remain active at the time each commission is earned. If your subscription lapses, new commission accruals pause until reinstated. Previously released payouts are unaffected.
Affiliate accounts are tied to a single verified identity through Stripe Connect Express. Multiple accounts under the same individual are not permitted, and self-referrals are automatically detected and disqualified.
Payouts are administered through Stripe Connect Express, which currently supports affiliates across more than forty countries. If your country of residence falls outside Stripe Connect's coverage, please contact us to arrange an alternative payout arrangement.
To remain eligible to receive commissions on a referred subscriber's billing cycle, you must hold an active Vivé Macro subscription at the time the commission is earned. If your own subscription lapses, commissions on your existing referrals pause until your subscription is reinstated. Previously released payouts are not affected. The eligibility check runs automatically on each commission accrual; nothing is required of you beyond maintaining your subscription.
Each commission enters a sixty-day hold period from the date the underlying subscription charge is collected. Holds protect against refund and chargeback exposure. Once the hold clears, the available balance is released to your connected Stripe Connect Express account on the next scheduled payout cycle. You can monitor held balances, available balances, and payout history in real time through your Affiliate Dashboard.
If a referred subscriber receives a refund or initiates a chargeback, the corresponding commission is reversed automatically. Commissions still in the hold period are cancelled outright. Commissions already paid out are clawed back from your next pending payout. We never invoice you directly for clawbacks; reconciliation happens automatically against future earnings, and your dashboard surfaces the adjustment with full audit detail.
No. Commissions apply only to new subscribers acquired through your referral link. A customer who already holds an active Vivé Macro subscription, or who has held one previously, is not eligible as a new referral. The system checks each new subscription against the existing subscriber base at the moment of conversion; non-qualifying conversions are flagged in your dashboard with the reason.
No. Self-referrals are not permitted under the Affiliate Program Terms. Any subscription where the referrer's verified email matches the customer's billing email, or where other indicators suggest the referrer is also the customer, is automatically disqualified and the corresponding commission is voided. Repeated self-referral attempts may result in suspension of the affiliate account.
