When you sign up as a partner with Feather, we’ll provide you with unique affiliate links for all of our products. You will be able to find these links on your personalized affiliate dashboard. You can access this dashboard by clicking on the link that we send you in your onboarding email - you will not need to login. Each sign-up you drive will be recorded and visualized in real-time in your dashboard.
Your affiliate links are unique. If a customer uses your affiliate link to visit the Feather website and decides to buy the referred policy or one of our other insurance products, this referral will be registered in your live lead stream on your affiliate dashboard. Once certain conditions are met (See Billing and Payout for more information), the commission for this referral will be paid out to you.
However if a referral does not use your unique affiliate link, the referral will not be attributed to you and you may not be eligible to earn commission on that policy. Please be sure to share your unique affiliate links with your referrals so that we can accurately track sign ups, and so that you do not lose out on commissions.
Feather is a customer-platform, and it is always preferable that a user signs up for any policy themselves, so they are familiar with our website and fully understand what it is they have signed up for . However, if an affiliate partner does sign up on behalf of a customer, they must make sure to use the customers’ data, including email. If it is found that an affiliate partner has submitted the wrong user information, the referral commission for that policy may not be paid out, and may result in the partnership being terminated.
We offer larger payments for bigger products. You can see how much you’ll get paid for each insurance type in your contract or in the commission table in your affiliate dashboard (see image below). We are always adding new products, and we’ll be sure to let you know when they’re live so you can offer them, too. Keep an eye out for our monthly affiliate newsletters!
Payment of VAT and taxes depends on your personal tax situation.

The commissions that are negotiated will always exclude VAT. 19% VAT will be added to the payments of affiliates who provide Feather with a registered VAT number.
IMPORTANT: If your commission rate has been agreed upon with one of the public insurance companies directly, you will be paid that flat rate for sales of their policies, regardless of your VAT status.
