Recurring commission builds up: customers you refer in month one keep paying while they stay subscribed. An estimate, not a promise. The program describes its terms as: "$100 when a referral becomes a customer plus up to 20% recurring on their subscription for as long as they stay". Tiers, caps and refunds can change the real figure.

About the program

Circle is the community platform used by creators, course sellers and brands to run discussions, courses, events, memberships and live streams in a branded space, with a mobile app and deep integrations. It sits at the premium end of the category, with Plus plans for larger organisations, and it competes with Skool, Mighty Networks and Kajabi Communities.

The affiliate program pays a $100 bounty the moment a referral becomes a paying customer, plus a recurring share of their subscription for as long as they stay, starting at 10 percent and rising to 20 percent as you refer more customers within a rolling 12 month period. Plus plans pay a lower recurring rate by tier. The cookie is 90 days. Applications are reviewed, Circle publishes detailed FAQs and commission calculation rules, and payouts are monthly by PayPal or Stripe. The threshold is not published.

The bounty plus recurring structure covers both immediate income and long term value, and Circle's higher plan prices make the percentage worthwhile.

Circle converts from community platform comparisons, how to launch a membership guides, Skool versus Circle content, brand community case studies and course platform roundups. Its polished product demos well in video walkthroughs. Its AI features and event tools are recent additions worth covering in updated reviews.
