What you earn
Concrete numbers, not percentages in the air
Grain is sold per event. Your commission starts at 25% of what the couple pays and rises to 35% as your referred revenue grows.
Shown in EUR or USD, prices are the same in both. You're paid in your own local currency.

Questions
The short answers
Does this cost anything?
No. Joining is free and there is nothing to maintain.
How do the 25%, 30% and 35% tiers work?
You start at 25%. Once the couples you referred have paid 500 EUR in total, your rate moves to 30%, and above 2,000 EUR it moves to 35%. Only bookings that cleared the refund window count towards that total. The new rate applies to referrals that come in after you cross the threshold. Past referrals keep the rate they were earned at, so nothing you already earned is recalculated.
When do payouts happen?
Monthly, once your referrals clear Grain's refund window and your balance reaches 25 EUR.
How do I get paid?
When you set up your payout method, you are redirected to Stripe, the same payment processor Grain uses to accept payments from couples, to securely enter your bank details. Stripe handles this directly, so Grain never sees or stores your banking information. Once set up, your commission accrues automatically as your referred couples' events happen. Payouts run monthly and land straight in your bank account via Stripe, with a downloadable statement you can use for your own bookkeeping.
I'm not in Europe. Can I still join, and why are amounts shown in euros?
Yes, the partner program is open internationally. Commission is calculated in EUR because that is Grain's base currency, but when you set up payouts you connect your own bank account, in the US, the EU or elsewhere, through Stripe, and your payout is converted to your local currency automatically at the time it is sent. In your dashboard each referral shows the couple's original payment in the currency they paid in alongside your euro commission, so you can always see both.
Can I refer myself?
No. Self referrals are not eligible.
What if a couple I refer gets a refund?
No commission is paid on refunded events. The referral is marked void and nothing else changes for you.
