Our Most Popular Plan: Pro Yearly
Our Pro Yearly plan with three (3) Pro sites is definitely one of the most attractive pricing options in the entire market. You can launch a powerful e-commerce store, add paid membership, enjoy unlimited bandwidth, get a free domain, and more, for just $16/month. This is the price most providers charge for publishing just one (1) website. With Strikingly, you get to publish three (3)! Our Pro Yearly plan is easily one of the best pricing options in the market, and it's the most popular choice for our users. Default to this option, and you can't go wrong.
VIP Plan
If you need more powerful features like multiple membership tiers, multi-language sites, or priority support, we have a VIP Plan for serious merchants. It's like our Pro Plan but on steroids.
Limited Plan
If you have a limited budget and can't get the Pro, you can choose our Limited Plan. For the price of two coffee, you can publish two (2) .com websites.
For anyone who has searched the market for a solution, it should be clear that our pricing is very competitive. Check out our pricing page for more detail.
How long is the cookie duration?
Our cookies last 180 days. This means if your referred user only pays 180 days after visiting Strikingly, you'll still earn a commission. Yes, we’re pretty lavish like that.
What click attribution do you use?
We use Last Click Before Signup to attribute affiliate sales. This means if your affiliate link was the last link a visitor clicks on before signing up to Strikingly, you will get the commission from this visitor’s purchase. Under Last Click, we reward affiliates who bring us new signups.
What’s your payout schedule?
We pay our affiliates when a payout is requested. After you submit a payout request, you can expect your payout to be processed in 15 to 20 business days.
Can I join the Strikingly Affiliate Program even if I live outside the United States?

When will my commission be approved for the payout request?
You’ll earn the commission right after your referral ends their 14-day plan trial and has successfully paid for their plan. After your earned commission passes our validation check, you can request it for payout.
The validation process checks for fraud, self-invitation, or other violations of the affiliate agreement. During the validation, the commission will be shown as pending on your affiliate dashboard. When a commission passes validation, it will be shown as approved and available for payout.

The pending commission will be validated within 15 days for monthly plans, 60 days for yearly plans, and 120 days for multiple-year plans (2 years and up). |
How are my referrals tracked?
After successfully joining our affiliate program, you will receive a unique affiliate referral URL. Always share this unique URL with your audience when you are educating or promoting Strikingly. Our cookies last for 180 days, so if any of your audience signs up for a free trial on the link within 180 days from the Last Click, it will count as your referral.
Where can I promote Strikingly?
We have affiliates who have been successful in promoting us through blogging, creating YouTube tutorials, sharing on Facebook groups, hosting offline seminars, and more! However, there are certain restrictions on where you can‘t promote us such as coupon sites, bidding on Strikingly’s trademark terms, etc. You can learn more about where you can safely promote us on our Strikingly Affiliate Program Agreement & Policies.
Do you have an activeness requirement?
We have a basic active requirement of referring one paid subscriber in the past year (365 days).
You'll need to stay active to continue accrual and receive the recurring commission of your referral or request any payout. In the event that you do become inactive, you can simply reactivate your affiliate status by referring one (1) new paid user. If you have any further questions, feel free to send us an email or chat with us.
What if a card fails or fraud is detected?
If credit card charges are reversed due to a dispute or credit card fraud, the commission will be canceled.
If we detect any fraudulent activity or anything that violates our Strikingly Program Agreement, your account will be banned, and your commission will be revoked.
If you market responsibly and in good faith, you don’t have to worry about this as much.
