Engineer Factory · Affiliate & creator programme
Recommend Engineer Factory. Earn on every licence.
YouTubers, TikTok and Instagram creators, producers, engineers and music-tech channels: share the DAW your audience can actually use, give them a discount of their own, and receive a commission on what they pay - for a full year of renewals.
How the programme works
Apply
A short form: who you are, where you publish, how you want to be paid. We look at every application ourselves and answer within a few days.
Get your link and codes
Once approved you have a personal link and one or more discount codes with a percentage we set together - MAX10 for 10 %, MAXSUMMER for a campaign.
Your audience buys
Whoever arrives on your link or types your code is your customer. The discount is taken off at checkout; the commission is written the moment the payment is confirmed.
Get paid
Commissions become available once the refund period has passed, are settled weekly, and are paid out from €50 - on request or automatically.
How you earn
The commission is a percentage of what your customer actually paid, after the discount. The default is 20 %; creators with reach get an individual rate. It applies to the first payment and to every renewal of a subscription for twelve months, and to a Lifetime licence in full.
- 20 % default commission, individual rates on request
- Monthly, yearly and Lifetime licences all count
- Renewals earn for twelve months after the first purchase
- Everything is calculated on the server and shown to you line by line
Your affiliate link
Every approved affiliate gets a link of the form engineer-factory.de/?ref=YOURCODE. A visitor who arrives on it is remembered for 30 days - by a code, not by a name - and is yours when they register or buy. Clicks, visitors, registrations and sales appear in your dashboard.
Your discount codes
A discount code is the simplest thing to say in a video. We create your codes and set what they give your audience - 5, 10, 15, 20 % - and what they pay you; you can have several at once for different channels or campaigns. Where a link and a code point to different affiliates, the code wins.
When a commission is yours
A commission is pending for 30 days after the sale: that is the time in which a customer may withdraw or a payment may be charged back. After that it is available. A refund or a chargeback takes the commission back - and if it had already been paid, the next payout is reduced by it.
Payouts
Available commissions are settled once a week; you can request a payout from €50, or switch on the automatic payout and it goes out by itself. PayPal or bank transfer. Every payout comes with a statement and a credit note.
Marketing material
Logo, screenshots, mockups, banners, social-media graphics, short texts for descriptions and posts - everything ready to download in your dashboard, and updated when the DAW is.
The rules
Honest recommendations only: your audience must be told it is an affiliate link or code. No bidding on our brand, no spam, no self-purchases, no coupon sites. The full affiliate terms are below and are part of your application.
Read the affiliate termsPrivacy
The link sets a cookie that holds your code and nothing else; clicks are counted under a daily rotating key, never as a person. Your customers' names are not shown to you - you see numbers, not people. What we store about you as an affiliate is what the payout and the tax record need.
PrivacyQuestions
Who can apply?
Anyone who publishes for people who make music - a YouTube channel, a TikTok or Instagram account, a blog, a podcast, a course - and can show it. We approve every application by hand.
How much do I earn?
20 % of what your customer paid by default; an individual rate when your reach justifies it. Renewals count for twelve months, a Lifetime licence in full.
Can I choose my code?
You can ask for one on the application. We confirm it or suggest a different one - codes have to be unique and readable.
What if a customer used my link and someone else's code?
The code wins by default: the creator whose code was typed in is the one the buyer meant. The rule is the same for everyone.
When is the money paid?
A commission is available 30 days after the sale, settled weekly and paid out from €50 - on request or automatically, by PayPal or bank transfer.
What about taxes?
You are responsible for taxing what you earn. Whether the credit note carries VAT depends on your status and country; tell us what applies to you and we prepare the documents accordingly. We do not give tax advice.
