Why partner with us

Kootenay Connection is a digital pass for local deals across the Kootenays. As an affiliate, you earn on every annual VIP membership you help bring in, and your audience gets real value at real Kootenay businesses.

Competitive commission: rates set per partnership

You earn a meaningful share of every annual VIP signup that comes through your code. We agree on the rate during onboarding, based on your audience and fit.

A memorable vanity code

You pick a short code that represents you or your brand. It becomes the link you share on your channels. Easy to say, easy to type, easy to remember.

Optional discount for your audience

If you want, we can configure a discount on annual VIP for anyone who signs up through your code. Everybody wins: they save, you earn, we grow.

Simple and transparent

One earning event per signup. No complicated tiers, no recurring math. You always know what you're owed and when you'll be paid.

Personal payouts

We handle payouts personally (e-transfer, cheque, whatever works for you). You're dealing with a real person at Kootenay Connection, not an automated system.

Local-first, Kootenay-proud

Every dollar earned stays in the region. When your audience becomes a member, they're supporting real local businesses, and so are you.

How it works

One link, one discount, one commission. No tiers, no tracking pixels, no guesswork.

Who we work with

Creators, influencers, and businesses with an audience that trusts what you recommend.

Running a sports team, school, or charity fundraiser? We have a simpler page for that: group fundraising.

Influencers & content creators
Podcasters & YouTubers
Bloggers & newsletter writers
Local business owners
Tourism & adventure operators
Realtors & local pros

We tailor commission rates, discount rates, and promotional materials to your channel and reach, so the partnership makes sense for both sides.

What to expect

Our program is curated, not open-signup. Every partnership is reviewed by a real person. Here's what that means in practice.

1

Reviewed, not rubber-stamped

We review every application individually. If we think it's a fit, we'll reach out to set up commission rates, discount options, and a shared launch plan. If it's not the right fit, we'll tell you honestly.

2

Transparent earnings

Commission is calculated as a percentage of the net amount each invitee actually pays, so you always know the math. No hidden deductions.

3

Invitee privacy

You see aggregate numbers: how many people signed up, how many became VIP. You never see individual invitee names, emails, or personal details.

4

7-day refund window

If an invitee refunds within 7 days of purchase, the associated commission is automatically voided. This protects everyone. You never get paid on a sale that didn't stick.

5

Pause or terminate anytime

Either side can pause or end the partnership at any time. No long contracts, no lock-ins. Your code stops working; any earned-and-unpaid commission is still paid out.

6

One-time earning per invitee

You earn once when each invitee first becomes an annual VIP member. We keep the model predictable on purpose. It's easier to plan around and easier to explain to your audience.

Apply to become an affiliate
