Referrer Program

Earn Rewards by Referring

Refer friends or colleagues to our software and earn rewards from their purchases.

Standard Referrer

(Available to all customers)

Earn a $150 credit against your future subscriptions for each referral who goes on to purchase an annual subscription from us.

See our FAQ on our standard referral program here.

Premium Referrer

(Available to approved premium partners)

Become a premium referrer by referring a larger number of paying customers. You'll earn a percentage of each of your referred users' ongoing renewals, in addition to the standard $150 referral sign-up credit.

How It Works

Refer in three steps

1. Get your link

Sign in and open Account → Referrals. Every customer has a personal referral link there, and you can also send referral invitations by email.

2. Share it

Pass your link to businesses that need payroll software. Referral invitations are valid for 90 days and the referred business must be new to Lightning Payroll.

3. Earn credit

When your referral purchases an annual subscription, a $150 credit is banked to your account. Credits can be applied automatically against your own subscription renewals.

Reseller Program

Enhanced Reseller Benefits

Approved resellers enjoy special reseller pricing and additional perks such as dedicated support and marketing materials.

Besides the employee limitation, all packages are identical and offer an unlimited number of companies that a user can process payroll for. Lightning payroll includes STP phase 2 and gold standard SuperStream functionality. Our Australian support team is able to field any questions or solve any problems with the software so your sales/support team can always defer to us or mediate between the client and our support reps if they prefer.

Referral program FAQs

Does Lightning Payroll have an affiliate or referral program?

Yes. Every Lightning Payroll customer can refer other businesses and earn a $150 credit against their own subscriptions for each referral who purchases an annual subscription. Approved premium referrers also earn a percentage of their referred customers' ongoing renewals.

How do I get my referral link?

Sign in to your account and open the Referrals page. Your personal referral link is shown there, and you can also send referral invitations directly by email.

What do I earn for a referral?

A $150 credit is banked to your account when your referral purchases an annual subscription. Banked credits can be applied automatically against your own subscription orders and renewals.

Do referral invitations expire?

Yes. A referral invitation is valid for 90 days, and the referred business must be new to Lightning Payroll — existing customers and already-referred emails don't qualify.
