Revenue share is an affiliate commission model where the publisher earns a percentage of ongoing revenue from referred customers — not just the first transaction. Common in SaaS affiliate programs and subscription products, it creates long-term income for affiliates who drive high-retention customers.
RevShare aligns affiliates with long-term customer quality: since commissions continue as long as the customer subscribes, affiliates are incentivized to attract customers who will actually stay. Typical RevShare rates are 20–40% of monthly subscription fees. Some programs offer RevShare for the lifetime of the account — a powerful incentive for affiliates with long-lived content.
