CommitLocal Partner Program

Help Organisations Get the Visibility They Deserve

Represent CommitLocal and help local businesses, non-profits, community groups, clubs and associations make their contributions visible — while earning ongoing commissions for every subscription you bring in and in some cases on the renewals too!

A relationship-led program built on trust

The CommitLocal Partner Program is for people with genuine community relationships — those who understand local organisations, know the right people, and can open doors through trusted conversations, not cold pitches.

As a Partner, you introduce organisations to CommitLocal — giving them a professionally managed public presence that makes their community contributions visible. In return, you earn initial commissions when they subscribe and ongoing renewal commissions as they continue.

This is not a passive income scheme or a network marketing arrangement. It is a relationship-led program for professionals who take their community networks seriously. Applications are assessed individually, and not every application is approved.

Three tiers built for different kinds of relationships

Local connectors with trusted community relationships who actively refer organisations.

  • Initial subscription commission

Built to support serious relationship-builders

Unique Referral Link

A clean, attribution-tracked URL you can share directly or embed anywhere. Every subscription through your link is recorded automatically.

Partner Resources

Access the Partner Program Guide, commission structure documentation, and support materials to help you represent CommitLocal with confidence.

Introducer Rewards (Strategic & Ecosystem)

Strategic and Ecosystem Partners may be eligible for Partner Introducer Rewards when they bring other quality Partners into the program. One level only — no MLM depth.

A Program You Can Be Proud Of

CommitLocal exists to make community contributions visible. You're not selling software — you're helping organisations take their place in the public record of community life.

Some approved Partners may become eligible to receive a Partner Introducer Reward when they introduce another Partner who is subsequently approved and goes on to successfully bring organisations into CommitLocal.

This reward is designed to recognise strategic ecosystem growth — Partners who actively strengthen the network by bringing in other quality relationship-builders.

  • Partner Introducer Rewards are not automatic — eligibility is assessed at approval
  • Available to approved higher-tier Partners (Strategic and Ecosystem tiers)
  • Limited to one level only — this is not a multi-level or MLM arrangement
  • May be one-time or ongoing depending on the commission structure assigned to your Partnership

Full details of any applicable Introducer Reward will be clearly communicated in your Partner Agreement and visible in your Partner Dashboard.

Standard renewal commission arrangements run for up to 3 years from the date an organisation's subscription begins. Beyond that, continued eligibility may depend on demonstrated ongoing ecosystem participation.

Examples of qualifying ongoing activity include:

  • Introducing new organisations to CommitLocal
  • Maintaining active, regular participation in the CommitLocal network
  • Supporting ecosystem growth activities in partnership with the CommitLocal team
  • Meeting annual referral thresholds as defined in your commission structure
Example: Partners who introduce 50 or more new paid organisation subscriptions within a calendar year may retain ongoing renewal commission eligibility beyond the standard 3-year renewal period. Specific qualification thresholds vary by commission structure and are confirmed in your Partner Agreement.

When an organisation you introduced renews their CommitLocal subscription, you may receive an ongoing renewal commission for the duration of your commission structure's renewal period (typically up to 3 years).

  • Commissions are processed after a 30-day hold period following successful payment
  • Eligible commissions are paid at the end of the following month after the hold period clears
  • No commission is paid on refunds, disputes, failed payments or cancellations
  • All commission percentages and structures are communicated clearly at approval

Your exact commission percentages, renewal period, and payout schedule will be detailed in your Partner Agreement and accessible via your Partner Dashboard once approved.

No. The CommitLocal Partner Program is a relationship-led referral program — not an MLM, network marketing or downline-based arrangement.

  • Partner Introducer Rewards exist at one level only — you are never rewarded for recruiting people who then recruit more people
  • Applications are assessed individually — there is no automatic approval
  • The program is built around genuine community relationships and professional trust
  • There is no requirement to recruit other Partners to earn commissions

All applications are reviewed individually by the CommitLocal team. Submitting an application does not guarantee approval.

The application may progress through the following stages:

  • Submitted — we've received your application
  • Under Review — our team is assessing your application
  • More Information Requested — we may reach out with follow-up questions
  • Interview Requested — we'd like to have a conversation before deciding
  • Approved / Waitlisted / Declined — final outcome communicated via email

We aim to be in touch within 5 business days of receiving your application.

Once approved, you'll receive access to your Partner Dashboard, which includes:

  • Your unique referral link and code
  • A full Partner Program Guide explaining your commission structure, payout timing, eligibility requirements, and renewal rules
  • Detailed commission structure panels — including Introducer Reward eligibility, qualification thresholds, renewal caps and effective dates
  • Your commission history and payout records
  • Resources and support to help you represent CommitLocal confidently

All terms, percentages and structure details are clearly documented and accessible — no surprises.
