Mailchimp affiliate program
The short answer: the Mailchimp affiliate commission is 25% on new customer referrals and 5% on managed customer revenue, for up to 12 months by default, 24 for partners and 36 for pro partners. The program runs on its own software. The terms do not state how long a referral counts. Anyone can sign up and start. Read on 9 November 2026 on Mailchimp's own terms page.
