Framer has one of the most generous affiliate programs in the web design space. Here's everything you need to know.
Framer pays verified creators 50% of referred subscription revenue — recurring, for the lifetime of the customer. Every time someone signs up for a paid Framer plan through your link, you earn half of their monthly or annual payment for as long as they stay subscribed.
The program is managed through Dub — Framer's affiliate tracking platform. Payouts are processed monthly, covering commissions earned two months prior. Minimum payout balance is $200. Payouts are made via Stripe, PayPal, or stablecoin.
I've been in the Framer affiliate program since I started building templates under TMPL. My affiliate income is currently around $2,000/month — and that comes almost entirely from organic traffic.

My templates live on the Framer Marketplace, people find them, click my referral link, sign up for Framer, and I earn a commission on their subscription.
The first six months I earned almost nothing. Affiliate income compounds slowly — it takes time to build up a base of referred users. But once it starts, it keeps paying month after month without additional work.
The Framer affiliate program is available to verified Framer creators. Here's how the path looks:
Register as a Framer creator in the Creator Space
Get a template, component, or plugin approved — or become an approved Framer Expert. This unlocks the Links tab in your Creator Space.
Connect to Dub through the Creator Dashboard to manage your affiliate links and payouts
Once you're in, you get one main referral link — but you can create additional links (as many as you need) for different channels, campaigns, or content pieces. Every signup through any of your links is tracked and attributed to you.
When someone signs up via your link, the conversion appears as pending for 30 days to account for potential refunds. After 30 days with no refund, the commission is confirmed.
Commissions may be adjusted if the referred user cancels within their first year. After that, the subscription is stable and your commission keeps coming.
Payouts go through three stages in Dub: Pending → Processing (around 4 business days) → Completed, deposited directly to your bank account.
The simplest approach: put your referral link everywhere you talk about Framer.
Blog posts about Framer — every article that answers a question about the platform is an opportunity. Someone reads "Is Framer free?" and clicks your link to sign up.
Social media — X, Instagram, Pinterest. If you're posting about Framer, your link should be in the bio and in relevant posts.
Framer Marketplace — if you publish templates, your profile and template pages are natural places for a referral link.
You don't need a large audience to start earning. You need consistent presence in places where people are already looking for Framer information.
Dub recently launched a Network Referral program — you can earn an additional bonus by referring other creators to join Dub's affiliate network. When someone joins through your Dub referral link and starts earning commissions, you receive 50% of their Dub payout fees for the first 12 months.
This is a smaller income stream than the main Framer affiliate, but it compounds if you're creating content for an audience of designers and creators who might want to monetize through Framer themselves.
Yes — if you're already creating content about Framer. The program costs nothing to join and every piece of content you publish becomes a potential revenue source.
The honest caveat: it takes time. Six months before I saw real money. But the income is recurring — people don't cancel Framer subscriptions often, so referred users keep paying month after month.
If you're building in the Framer ecosystem anyway, not having a referral link is leaving money on the table.
How much does the Framer affiliate program pay? Half of the referred subscription revenue, recurring for as long as the customer stays subscribed. One referred Pro plan at $30 a month is $15 a month to you.
Who can join? Verified Framer creators. You need an approved template, component or plugin on the marketplace, or Framer Expert status. Joining costs nothing.
When does the money arrive? Payouts run monthly through Dub and cover commissions from two months back. The minimum balance for a payout is $200, paid via Stripe, PayPal or stablecoin.
What happens if a referred customer refunds? Commissions sit in pending for 30 days to cover refunds. After that they confirm and move toward payout.
Can you combine affiliate income with template sales? Yes, and the two feed each other: a free template brings people into Framer through your link, and some of them later buy a paid template or All Access. I wrote up my numbers in Can You Make Money with Framer?
