Referrals in Velveteen
Updated August 27, 2026
Referrals let you earn subscription credit by sharing Velveteen. Share your referral link, and when a friend subscribes to any plan they get their first month free. You earn a credit matching their plan's monthly price after their first successful paid invoice.
The referral program rewards both sides. This section covers how it works, how to share your link, the rewards, and how to track a referral.
