Referral program

How the referral program works
If you have enough followers and published recipes (or you've been granted access manually), a personal referral link appears in the "Finance" section. Someone who registers through it pays you a commission every month for as long as they themselves pay for Pro — but not permanently: it's their current choice of "favorite author", not a one-time binding. Any user can change their favorite author at any time — on their own Pricing page, or on the profile page of any author in the program. The link only sets the STARTING choice at registration: if the person later switches to a different author, commission goes to the new one from that point on. Anything already accrued before the switch is not clawed back. The "Finance" page shows the whole funnel: link clicks, sign-ups, how many people currently actually support you (this can be lower than the sign-up count, and that's normal), your current balance and the full earnings history.

Getting paid — payouts via Stripe Connect
Accrued commission isn't transferred to your card automatically — you need to connect payouts once first. In the "Finance" section, choose your country and click "Connect payouts" — a secure Stripe form opens where you confirm your identity (a document, sometimes a selfie for matching) and provide a bank account to receive money. This identity check is handled entirely by Stripe itself — the Platform never sees or stores your documents or account number, only a "connected / not connected" flag. Stripe Connect doesn't work with every country — if yours isn't in the list when connecting, please contact support. Once payouts are connected, accrued commission is transferred automatically, with no further action on your part — usually within an hour of being earned. The minimum amount for an actual transfer to your bank account is set by Stripe itself (around 20 kr for Norwegian accounts) — if the amount is smaller, it simply waits for the next payment to add up.
