The OpenFlix affiliate program
Filmmakers raise money and sell placements here. Households take a Pass to watch. Teams and studios run their business on the plans next door. Whichever of those your address book is full of, bring them on your own link and you earn a share of what the platform earns — every time, for as long as they keep doing it.
Free to join. 30-day attribution. One code for OpenFlix and OpenLuxe.
01 Why most referral money never arrives
- You make the introduction that starts the deal, and the deal closes somewhere you were never part of.
- A finder's fee is one payment on one deal, and then that relationship stops paying you anything at all.
- The programs that do pay recurring sell one narrow product, so only a sliver of the people you know is worth referring.
- And the ones aimed at film pay on a rental — a few cents, once, on something your referral watched.
02 Every rail, and what each one is a share of
Six ways a referral earns you money, three of them recurring. The basis line on each row is not decoration — it is the difference between a true sentence and a false one.
- They subscribe to a plan30%of the subscription, on every renewalThe largest rate in the program, and the only one taken off the full price. If you read one row, read this one.
- Their household takes a MovieHop Pass20%of the platform's fee, on every renewalA share of what OpenFlix keeps, not of what the household pays.
- They buy a Station Pass20%of the platform's 20% share of the pass price, on every paymentEach day pass and each monthly payment is its own sale. The processing fee is never part of it.
- They raise money on the Film Fund20%of the platform's 5% feeRewards crowdfunding. Backers get perks and credits; nobody is buying a share of a film.
- They sell a placement inside their film20%of the platform's 10% feeBanked when the balance is collected, not when the slot is reserved.
- They buy credits, on the web or on a television5%of the purchaseIncludes top-ups bought inside the Google Play, Roku and Amazon apps.
- Somebody you brought in does this too3%of their sales, one level deepOne level, by design. This is not a pyramid and it does not pretend to be one.
Rentals, pay-per-view, channel subscriptions and riffs are bought with credits — and those credits already paid you a commission when they were bought. They appear in your dashboard as activity, so you can see your people are actually using the place, and they earn nothing a second time.
03 Work it out
Two calculators, because there are two kinds of money here.
01 — Recurring subscriptions
The largest rate in the program, and the one that keeps paying. Set how many referrals subscribe and to what.

These are arithmetic, not a forecast. Nothing here is an average, a target or anything anyone has earned — you supply the numbers and the page multiplies them by the rates the engine actually pays. Commissions exist only when a real payment clears, and every one of them is subject to the refund window and the payout terms below.
04 How you get credited
Your window
30 days
From the click. Inside it, whatever they sign up for is attributed to you.
What carries it
A link, a code, a QR
One code, printable as a QR that lands on the OpenFlix front door with your ref attached.
Both brands
One signup
The same code earns on OpenFlix and on OpenLuxe. There is nothing else to join.
Where they land
Your contact book
A referred signup also arrives as an active client in your own CRM, not just a row in a report.
05 Getting paid, in full
- 01
A commission clears a 45-day window first
Against refunds and chargebacks. It is earned immediately and withdrawable afterwards — the money is yours from the sale, it is simply not movable yet.
- 02
Everybody starts on Bronze
A 90-day hold and a $500 minimum. The tier ladder shortens both as you build a payout record, so the terms you start on are the strictest ones you will ever be on.
- 03
A person releases every payout
Never a scheduler, and there is no instant cashout. Identity verification is required to withdraw — never to earn, and never to see what you have earned.
- 04
You hold a free Everything-tier account while you are active
The whole platform, for as long as the program is. It is a perk of being an affiliate, not something you have to sell to keep.
06 The other half
The same code earns on OpenLuxe.
OpenFlix is one brand on a platform that also sells software to businesses — and the biggest rate in the program, 30% of the subscription on every renewal, is paid on that side. A director you bring in for the Film Fund who later puts their production company on a plan pays you both ways, on one code, with nothing extra to sign up for.
- One application, one code, one dashboard, both brands.
- 30% of an OpenLuxe subscription, recurring for the life of that subscription.
- A referral who arrives for a film and stays for the software is still your referral.
07 Questions
Do I earn when my referrals watch films?
No, and this is the one people expect to be a yes. Rentals, pay-per-view, channel subscriptions and riffs are bought with credits, and those credits already paid you a commission when they were bought — paying again when they are spent would pay you twice for the same dollar. You do see that activity in your dashboard, so you can tell your people are actually using the place. It earns nothing a second time.
What do I actually make on a Film Fund raise?
The platform takes a 5% fee on a campaign, and you earn 20% of that fee — so roughly 1% of what the campaign raises, not 20% of it. On a $25,000 raise that is about $250. And to be exact about what the Film Fund is: it is rewards crowdfunding. Backers get perks and credits. Nobody is buying a share of a film, and there are no returns to talk about.
Is the MovieHop Pass rate a share of what the household pays?
It is a share of what OpenFlix keeps, which is what the row says. Today OpenFlix keeps the subscription, so the two figures are the same and the calculator shows it that way. If the creator revenue pool is switched on, the platform's share drops and this page's numbers drop with it automatically — they are computed from the same setting the commission is.
How quickly can I withdraw?
Not quickly, and it is better to know now. Every commission clears a 45-day window against refunds and chargebacks. New affiliates start on Bronze, which adds a 90-day hold and a $500 minimum, and the tier ladder shortens both as you build a record. Every payout is released by a person — there is no automatic or instant cashout — and you will need to verify your identity to withdraw, though never to earn.
Is this the same program as the OpenLuxe one?
Yes. One application, one code, one dashboard. OpenFlix revenue was made commissionable inside the engine that already ran the OpenLuxe program, so signing up on either page earns you both sets of rails. If you have already joined, you are earning on everything here today and there is nothing to do.
Is the second level a pyramid?
No. It is one level deep and it stops there: you earn 3% of the sales made by affiliates you personally recruited, and they earn nothing from anyone you brought in. There is no level below that to unlock, no purchase to make, and no cost to join.
