At Mavely, we’re committed to recognizing and rewarding the hard work of our creators. In addition to earning standard commissions, you can earn extra through programs like our Bonus and Referral Programs.
These opportunities are designed to help you maximize your earnings and get even more value from the content you share.
This guide will walk you through how each program works and what to expect regarding payouts—so you can make the most of every opportunity.
Bonus Programs: Extra Earnings
Mavely offers an industry-leading Bonus Programs—designed to boost your earnings each month based on your commission performance.
The Bonus Program gives everyone a consistent and exciting opportunity to earn more.
How the Bonus Program Works
Your bonus tier is determined by the total commission you earn each month at the time of payout.
Example: if you earn less than $1,000 in monthly commission, you can qualify for one of five bonus tiers that can boost your monthly earnings by up to 25%. Top earners have the chance to earn a bonus of up to $200,000 a month.
You can track your real-time progress using the Live Bonus Tracker on the Analytics page, available on both the Mavely app and desktop dashboard.
Monthly Milestones
As your monthly commission grows, so does your bonus. The more you earn, the higher the tier—and the bigger the payout.

When Are Bonuses Paid?
Bonuses are paid 30 days after the end of each calendar month and are processed during the first pay period of the following month.
For example, a bonus earned in May will be paid out on July 1.
Bonuses are issued separately from standard commission payments, and you’ll still receive your bonus even if you didn’t meet the minimum payout threshold for commissions that cycle.
Referral Programs: Earn by Growing the Mavely Community
Mavely’s Referral Program is a rewarding way to earn extra income by inviting others to join the platform. When someone signs up using your unique link and starts earning, you get rewarded too!
How the Referral Program Works
- Share your unique referral link with friends, followers, or fellow creators.
- When someone clicks your link and creates a new Mavely account, they’re tracked as your referral.
- Once your referral begins earning, you receive 10% of their commission earnings for the first 6 months—automatically.
Example: If a user you referred earns $15,000 in total commissions within their first six months with Mavely, you’ll also earn a $1,500 referral bonus—and it doesn’t come out of their earnings. Everyone wins!
Referral Tracking Requirements
If the signup process is interrupted or the user does not use your link, the referral may not be tracked correctly.
Tip: Encourage your referrals to complete their account creation right after clicking your link for best results.
Referral Payouts
Referral bonuses are paid quarterly, 45 days after the end of each quarter.
To qualify for a payment:
- Your referral must be a brand-new Mavely user (not a returning or existing account)
- They must complete the necessary actions - like making their first sale
There’s no minimum referral amount required to receive a payout
Example: If your referral earns $10 in commission, your referral earnings will be $1.00. You will be paid as long as you meet the minimum threshold for that pay period.

Boosts
Boosts are temporary increases to commission rates and are a great way to find recommended products you can promote. You can find the Boosts page via the App or the Desktop site.
You do not have to opt in to a Boost. They are automatically applied to your Account. You can find the Boosts page via the App or the Desktop site and utilize it to find which Boosts are Active and help you decide which products to promote.
Boosts can be classified as Active, Live, or Completed. Each Boost is unique and can offer you an increase in:
- Brand Commission: Ex. A brand increases base commission from 5% → 10% for a specific month.
- SKU via Specific Brand: Ex. Tyson offers 2% extra commission on top of Walmart's 5% base commission for a total of 7% commission on Tyson SKUs at Walmart
- SKU via any Brand: Ex. Nike offers an incremental 5% on specific Nike products sold via Mavely
