Partner dashboard

A warm intro is all it takes — you don’t pitch, price, or scope.

The partner dashboard: every referral you've made, where it stands, and what you've earned and been paid.

Three ways to work with us.

Refer work and step back, have us build under your brand, or bring us in beside your team. Terms are written down before either side commits to anything.

Send work, stay out of delivery.

You introduce a business that needs a website, an application or paid media, then step back. Stacklumen scopes, prices, contracts and delivers, and you earn 20% of what we collect on it.

Apply to become a partner Read the terms

Who refers

  • Agencies and consultants whose clients need more than they offer in-house
  • Freelancers and designers who get asked for work they do not take on
  • Account executives and salespeople with a network of growing businesses
  • Anyone connected to companies that need a website, an app or paid media

We build under your brand.

For design and marketing teams who need engineering capacity. We stay off your client’s calls and emails entirely, and everything ships under your brand and through your process.

Send a brief

What you can count on

  • Published floors: websites from $3,000, applications from $15,000, so you can quote without waiting on us for a number
  • Your client gets a written scope and a fixed price, so an overrun never becomes your problem
  • We never contact your client directly unless you ask us to

We work alongside your team.

For larger projects where you own the strategy or the design and need a build partner beside you. Who owns the client relationship is agreed in writing before the first project, and it does not change afterwards.

Send a brief

What you can count on

  • We do not market to clients you introduced
  • If a project is not right for us, you hear it in the first reply, not after we have taken it on with your name attached
  • A reply within one business day, the same as every other enquiry

20% of what we collect.

For every referral Stacklumen accepts that becomes a paying client, you earn 20% of the revenue we actually collect on that engagement, paid as the funds come in: typically at the 50% deposit and again on final payment.

Worked example

$15,000
Where it stands
  • Your referral fee (20%)$3,000
  • At the deposit (50%)$1,500
  • At final payment$1,500

Illustrative, at the published starting price for an application. Fees are net of refunds, chargebacks and discounts; actual pricing is set by Stacklumen per engagement.

Four steps, then you’re earning.

You make the introduction. We do the selling, scoping, contracting and delivery. You collect on what we close.

  1. Apply and get licensed

    Send a short application. If it’s a fit, you sign the Referral Partner Agreement and you’re an official Stacklumen partner, with no fee to join.

  2. Refer a business

    Introduce a company that needs a website, a custom app or paid media. A warm intro is all it takes: you don’t pitch, price or scope.

  3. We take it from here

    Stacklumen decides which referrals to accept and handles all pricing, scope, contracting and delivery. You can stay in the loop or step back.

  4. You get paid

    When a referral becomes a paying client, you earn 20% of the revenue we collect, paid as the funds come in.

Built to be low-friction.

This is a referral relationship, not a job. The whole point is that it fits around what you already do.

No quota, no minimum

Refer one client or fifty. There’s no target to hit, no obligation to refer anyone, and no penalty for going quiet.

Non-exclusive

Keep your own clients, your own business, and any other partnerships. This never asks for exclusivity.

Zero delivery overhead

You don’t set pricing, sign contracts or deliver the work. Stacklumen owns scope, delivery and the client relationship.

Work your own way

Your time, your methods, your network. You’re an independent contractor, paid on results, not hours.

The deal, in plain terms.

A summary of how the referral program works. The signed Referral Partner Agreement is the binding document; read it in full before you sign.

Independent contractor
You’re a 1099 contractor, not an employee, partner or agent. You handle your own taxes and expenses, and have no authority to set pricing or sign for Stacklumen.
Commission only
20% of the revenue Stacklumen actually collects on each accepted referral. There’s no base pay, retainer or minimum, and no guarantee of any number of referrals or income.
Paid as we’re paid
Fees are paid as funds are received, typically at the 50% deposit and on final payment. Fees are net of refunds, chargebacks and discounts.
Confidentiality
You keep Stacklumen’s client lists, pricing and other non-public information confidential, and use it only to make referrals under the agreement.
Non-circumvention
Clients arising from your referrals are Stacklumen’s. You won’t solicit or directly serve them in competition with Stacklumen during the agreement and for 12 months after it ends.
End anytime
Either party can end the agreement at any time on written notice. Fees already earned on funds Stacklumen has collected are still paid.

This page is a plain-language summary for convenience only and is not the contract. The Referral Partner Agreement you sign is the binding document and controls in any conflict. Nothing here is an offer, a guarantee of income, or legal or tax advice.

Questions, answered.

How much can I earn?
20% of the revenue Stacklumen collects on each accepted referral. On a $15,000 engagement, that’s $3,000.
When do I get paid?
As Stacklumen collects payment from the client, typically at the 50% deposit and again on final payment. Fees are net of any refunds, chargebacks or discounts.
Is there a quota or minimum?
No. There’s no minimum effort, no quota, and no obligation to make any referrals at all. Refer as much or as little as you like.
Do I handle pricing, contracts or delivery?
No. Stacklumen decides which referrals to accept and handles all pricing, scope, contracting and delivery. You make the introduction.
Can I keep my own clients and other work?
Yes. The arrangement is non-exclusive, so you’re free to run your own business and take other work.
What counts as a valid referral?
A business you introduce that Stacklumen accepts and that becomes a paying client. Stacklumen has discretion over which referrals it accepts.
How do taxes work?
You’re an independent contractor. Stacklumen issues a Form 1099 and provides no employee benefits; you’re responsible for your own taxes and expenses.
What if a client gets a refund?
Fees are net of refunds, chargebacks and discounts. If funds are later refunded, the related fee is returned or offset against future fees.
