Know the app.
Make a useful recommendation.

Turn a guide into a customer conversation

1. Choose one app and one audience. Start with a problem you understand and people you can help.
2. Learn the workflow. Read setup, plans, limitations, and common questions. Check the guide’s review date and today’s checkout.
3. Practice with sample data. Show one useful result in a short demo, then complete the readiness questions.
4. Use your current app link. Copy it from your dashboard. A plain product link does not identify you as the referring partner.
5. Disclose your connection. Say, “I’m a Residual Apps partner and may earn a commission if you buy through my link.”
6. Help with the first useful action. Let the customer control their account and checkout. Check whether the app actually fits their needs.

Understand what counts as a sale

A click or free signup is not a paid referral. Qualifying purchases, the selected plan, refunds, and continued paid use determine commissions. Published app rewards are gross; the standard platform share on your own qualifying customer commissions is 20%, capped at $9.99 per month. See partner training and current payout terms for the full explanation.

If a guide does not answer a question, ask the Residual Apps team before promising a feature. Add product suggestions to the Citizen Developer Forum.
