Program Overview

The Quicko Affiliate Program is built for individuals, influencers, businesses, and brands who want to earn by helping others simplify their taxes.

Built for those with reach, this program rewards growth—the more you share, the more you earn.


Who Can Refer?

Affiliate

  • The Quicko Affiliate Program is open to all individuals and business entities looking to promote Quicko’s Products & Services.

  • To join, Affiliates must agree to Quicko’s Affiliate Program Terms & Conditions and submit valid contact and banking details to enable timely settlements.

Referral Link Management

  • Affiliates have the flexibility to create and manage multiple unique referral links, each tailored for different outreach channels and promotional campaigns. 

Centralized Tracking and Earnings

  • All referral activities, sign-ups, and purchases, commissions generated are tracked through Cliq, Quicko’s Affiliate Marketing Software. The affiliate’s performance, including commission details, will be consolidated under one account, and all earnings will be credited directly to the Affiliate.

  • All the links created by the Affiliate can be tracked individually, enabling affiliates to monitor conversions, analyze performance, and optimize their promotional efforts for better results.

Who Can Be Referred?

For Sign-Up Commission

To qualify for a sign-up commission, the Referral must be a new referral on the Quicko platform. A referral is defined as a unique Permanent Account Number (PAN) that:

  • Has not been previously registered on Quicko.

  • Is used to complete the sign-up through the Affiliate’s referral link.

Sign-ups associated with duplicate or previously registered PANs will not be eligible for the sign-up commission.

For Purchase Commission

Affiliates are eligible to earn a percentage-based commission (as per their tier) when a referral makes a qualifying purchase through the Affiliate’s link—regardless of whether the referral is new or existing on Quicko.

To qualify:

  • The purchase must be completed using the Affiliate’s unique affiliate link.

  • Purchase commissions are applicable even if the referral’s PAN was previously registered on Quicko, as long as the purchase can be attributed to the Affiliate’s link.

How to Refer?


Generating Your Unique Referral Link

Every Affiliate is assigned a unique affiliate referral link.

  • This link can be generated and accessed at any time from their Cliq dashboard.

  • To be eligible for sign-up or purchase commissions, the Referral must complete the action (sign-up or purchase) using their unique referral link.

  • Affiliates can generate and customize multiple referral links through the Cliq dashboard, each designed for different outreach methods or promotional campaigns.

  • These links enable Affiliates to tailor their marketing efforts for various channels, including social media, email campaigns, or other promotional activities. 

  • Each link is tracked individually, giving Affiliates the ability to monitor performance and optimize strategies for maximum impact.

Cookies 

Cookie Validity

  • When a Referral clicks on an Affiliate's unique referral link, a tracking cookie is placed in the Referral’s browser, which remains valid for a period of 30 days. If the Referral signs up or completes a qualifying purchase within this 30-day period using the same device and browser, the activity will be attributed to the Affiliate.

  • If the Referral clears cookies, switches to a different browser or device, or takes action after the 30-day window, Quicko will be unable to attribute the activity to the Affiliate.

Last-Touch Attribution

  • Quicko follows a "last-touch attribution" model for referral commissions. This means that if a Referral clicks on multiple affiliate links during their journey, the Affiliate whose link was clicked last before the Referral's sign-up or purchase will earn the commission.

Referral Tracking via Cliq

All referral activity under the Affiliate Program is seamlessly tracked and managed through Cliq, Affiliate Marketing Software. This software serves as the central hub for Affiliates to oversee their entire affiliate performance—from link wise activity to commission tracking.

Affiliates can use the Cliq dashboard to:

Track Performance Metrics
View comprehensive data on overall performance, including:

  • Monitor key analytics such as total commission generated, valid sign-ups, completed purchases, and revenue earned over time.

Manage Referral Links

  • Create and manage affiliate links. View the individual performance of each link to campaign effectiveness.

Analyze Referral Activity

  • Gain detailed insights into Referral behavior—see which plans were purchased, when the sign-ups occurred, and the value of each transaction—to refine outreach and target more effectively.

Generate Reports for Settlement

  • Easily export comprehensive reports summarizing sign-ups, purchases, and commissions within a chosen time frame. 

  • These reports are mandatory for commission settlement with Quicko. Affiliates are responsible for generating and submitting the reports within the designated timeline to initiate payouts.

  • Reports also serve as a verifiable record of performance, promoting transparency and accountability.

Incentive Tiers & Settlements

The Affiliate Program uses a “performance-based tier” model to reward Affiliates as they grow. As Affiliates advance through each tier, they unlock higher sign-up commissions and increased purchase commission percentages, enabling greater earning potential.


Silver Circle – Entry Tier

Eligibility:

  • Achieved upon reaching 25 valid and unique PAN sign-ups.

Benefits:

  • Earn the standard sign-up reward for all 25 Referrals.

  • Start earning commission percentage on qualifying purchases made via the affiliate link (only purchases after reaching the eligibility are commissionable).

Gold Circle – Growth Tier

Eligibility:

  • Achieved upon reaching a defined purchase revenue milestone through referrals referred.

Benefits:

  • Unlock a higher sign-up reward amount for each valid new Referral.

  • Earn an enhanced commission percentage on all future qualifying purchases.

Platinum Circle – Top Tier

Eligibility:

  • Reserved for Affiliates who reach a higher purchase revenue benchmark.

Benefits:

  • Receive the highest sign-up reward per Referral.

  • Earn the maximum purchase commission percentage offered under the program.

Eligibility for Commission Payouts

  • Affiliates are eligible for commission payouts once they have successfully reached 25 referrals.

  • The first 25 referrals will be eligible for payout once the milestone is reached.

  • Purchase-based commissions will be applicable only after crossing the 25-referral threshold. Any purchases made prior to achieving 25 referrals will not qualify for commission.

Settlement Report & Invoice Submission Requirement

To receive payouts under the Quicko Affiliate Program, Affiliates are required to generate and issue an invoice to Quicko for settlement processing.

  • Mandatory Report & Invoice Submission: Payouts will only be processed upon submission of a valid invoice. Failure to submit will result in no settlement for that period.

  • Timely Reporting & Invoice Submission: Affiliates must submit the invoice within the designated reporting window to ensure eligibility for payouts and prevent loss of commissions.

  • Payment Schedule: Upon approval of the invoice, settlements will be processed and paid by the 15th of the subsequent month. Payments will be transferred to the Affiliate’s registered bank account as per the details provided.

  • Deadline & GSTR Closure: Invoices must be submitted within the specified period. If submitted after Quicko's GSTR filing closure for that cycle, Quicko may not process or reprocess the payout, and commissions for that period may be forfeited.

General Terms
