Referral Program

1. You recommend Virthium to a business.
2. They offer Feedback Rebates on their products.
3. Every time a customer redeems a rebate, Virthium earns a 25% transaction fee.
4. You get 20% of that fee for an entire year. Automatically.

No tiers. No subscriptions. No selling funnels. No “minimum performance.”

All payouts are tracked in real time in your account balance and sent to you via PayPal.

With your Referral Code, the business will also receive half of their transaction fees back (up to $200) as a Feedback Rebate after the first 60 days of use. Win-win. 

A business simply replaces their typical % OFF discount with a Feedback Rebate. It's the same money, but unlike a discount, not every customer will redeem the rebate:

• Unredeemed rebates directly increase the company's profit.
• They cover Virthium's transaction fees.
• The business ends up getting more reviews without increasing cost.

Most affiliate offers fail because they ask businesses to spend more money.

Here, the model doesn’t require an additional budget or commitment. It simply replaces an already existing discount. 

The company decides the rebate amount and when to offer it. Even a small rebate can boost sales and generate a lot more reviews than simply asking customers for reviews.

For the vast majority of companies, a Feedback Rebate will pay for itself and leave them with increased profit, not a cost.

Product sells for $100. The business normally discounts 10% ($90 sale price). Instead, they switch to a 10% Feedback Rebate ($100 sale price - $10 rebate). Same deal.

Let’s say they sell 10,000 units and only half of the rebates are redeemed.

• 5,000 rebates paid: $50,000
• Transaction fees (25%): $12,500
• Your earnings at 20%: $2,500

Cost of the offer to the business (relative to full price):

• With discount: $100,000
• With Feedback Rebate: $62,500

Business revenue:

• With discount: $900,000
• With Feedback Rebate: $937,500 (+ 5,000 reviews)

To sum up:

• With a 10% OFF discount, business makes less money and gets fewer reviews.
• With a 10% Feedback Rebate, they make more money and get a lot more reviews.
• And you get paid for suggesting it!

What is the business's current discounts and sales volume? Plug in your own numbers below and remember that this is just one product.

This is especially good for:

• Employees who want to pitch this internally
• Current users who know other business owners that could benefit
• Customers who have redeemed Feedback Rebates before and want more businesses to offer them
• Shoppers who want their favorite stores to offer Feedback Rebates
• Shopify consultants
• Ecommerce agencies
• Influencers in the “entrepreneurship / ecommerce” space
• Freelancers and marketers
• Anyone with business-owner friends or contacts

Virthium enables companies to credit employees on product pages (free feature). If you're an employee, besides the extra income, you get additional benefits:

• You get your own personal profile linked to your products.
• You get public recognition for your role.
• You improve your professional rank with every review your product gets.

When you bring in a business:

1. We assign your Referrer Code to their products.
2. Every time a customer buys something and redeems a rebate...
3. Your cut of the transaction fee is added to your account automatically.
4. You can send the available balance to your PayPal right from your account.

No waiting. No guessing. Everything is automated and transparent.

• You don't need to “sell the software.”
• You don’t need to manage the account.
• You don’t need to onboard them.
• You don’t need training, contracts, or calls.

Even a simple, "hey, you should check this out" is enough.

There is no limit to how many businesses you refer.
There is no cap on usage.
Revenues scale automatically as the business offers more rebates.

One company selling a single product can earn you a few thousand dollars (see the example above).
A bigger company with more products? Much more.

Traditional affiliate programs require you to sell something. This doesn’t. You're simply suggesting an interesting idea that requires no extra cost or commitment to try. 

• Businesses already offer discounts and rebates.
• They already send post-purchase follow-ups asking for reviews.

This is just a way to do it more effectively and save money. 

• Companies can try it risk-free on a few products first and compare the results. 
• They decide the rebate amounts, when to offer them, and for how long.
• There are no subscriptions.
• There are no "minimum usage" requirements.
• There are no tiers. All features are unlimited and available at all times.
• On Shopify, the app can be set up in minutes by the merchant (no technical skills required).
• Non-Shopify sellers can copy and paste our widget to their site. We will provide assistance if needed.

Businesses have full control over their rebates. They can use them as needed without any pressure or commitment. 

Here is a typical example from one of our clients, who received 275 reviews in one month and saved $2,364 at the same time.

1. Create a Virthium account to get your Referrer Code:
   https://www.virthium.com/users/sign_up
   
   
2. Suggest Virthium Feedback Rebates to a business owner and give them your code.
   
   
3. If they have a Shopify store, give them this link to install the app: https://apps.shopify.com/feedback-rebates.
   
   
4. They enter your Referrer Code into a form after registration (or app installation).
   
   
5. That’s it—you start earning when their customers start redeeming rebates.

If you want support, scripts, demo, or help pitching a specific business, we’ll assist.

The most common way for companies to use Virthium Feedback Rebates is through our Shopify App. However, you can refer Virthium to anyone who needs authentic customer reviews, not only Shopify merchants. We have widgets, APIs, and QR codes, to work for any business, online or offline.
