rBux Referral Program

  • Products and services outlined in Schedule A (“Products”) will be promoted through the Referral Program and linked or referred sales generated on the Partner’s site, which originated through the Referral Program will trigger a Referral   Commission payment in the local (Base) currency to rBux as per Schedule A.

SCHEDULE A

Pricing

The Referral  Commission will be set, modified and administered by rBux Inc. Tracking of Referrals successfully made is the responsibility of rBux Inc.

The Referral  Commission will be used to fund the Members rBux Reward (the commission that the Member receives for a referral resulting in a sale of the Partners Product) and payment to rBux for providing the service of the Referral Program (rBux Commission). The commission table may be modified from time to time. rBux Inc will inform the Partner when any price changes are made.

rBux Referral Commissions

Effective June 1st, 2019

rBux Inc. charges a commission for referral transactions. Whenever a referred product is purchased on your web site, rBux will charge a commission fee ("rBux Commission"), as well as the referral fee amount to be distributed to the product referrers ("Referral Rewards"). The Referral reward can be customized to suit your businesss. The rBux commission cannot be changed unless there is a special agreement in place with rBux Inc.

By default, the referral rewards are based on a Sliding Scale Percentage starting at 10%. A sliding scale means that as the price of the product increases, the percentage of the referral fee reduces. For Example, with a Sliding scale value set at 10%, the referral reward for a product under $100 is 10%. For a product that is $1000, the referral reward is 6%. Here is the complete Default Sliding scale:

Default Referral Reward Sliding Scale

Purchase Price US$
(before taxes, shipping)
Referrer Portion rBux Commission
Under $100 10% 3.75%
$100 - $499.99 10% - 8% 3.75% - 3.25%
$500 - $999.99 8% - 6% 3.25% - 2.5%
$1000 - $4999.99 6% - 5% 2.5% - 1.75%
$5000 - $9,999.99 5% - 4% 1.75% - 1.25%
$10,000 - $49,999.99 4% - 3% 1.25% - 0.75%
$50,000 - $99,999.99 3% - 2% 0.75% - 0.5%
$100,000 - $499,999.99 2% - 1% 0.5% - 0.25%
$500,000 and higher 1% 0.25%

When a referred product is sold, the referrer receives the amount of the Referrer Portion. In addition, the rBux Commission is added onto the referral charges. For example, when a product is purchased for $100 US, the referrers receive $10, and rBux receive $3.75, so the total cost of the referral is $13.75.

Customizing the Referral Rewards

Now you can tailor your Referrer Fees to suit your business!

To set custom rates for all your products, go to your rBux Dashboard then Account Settings-Referral Rewards.

You can even customize for a single product in the Manage Products section. Setting an individual product referral fee overrides the default settings.

Please note: Only the referrer portion can be modified. The rBux Commission Percentages remain the same as the table above.

Here are the options for different types of referral rewards:

  • Sliding Scale %: Modify the "Base Rate" to adjust the Referrer portion sliding scale. The default base rate is 10%. For example. If you set the Sliding Scale Base rate to 20%, then a $100 will provide a $20 referral reward, and the total commission fee with be $23.75. A $1000 product would have a rate of 12% ($120) and rBux commission of 2.5% ($25) for a total commission of $145.
  • Fixed %: Set a fixed percentage to be applied regardless of the price of the product. Setting a fixed percentage means if you set the percentage at 10%, then referrers of $100 get $10, and referrers of $1000 get $100. The rBux commission portion remains the same as the default scale above.
  • Fixed Currency: Set a fixed amount in your selected currency to be applied regardless of the price of the product. Setting a fixed amount means if you set it at $10 US, then referrers of $100 get $10, and referrers of $1000 get $10. The rBux commission portion remains the same as the default scale above.
  • Fixed rBux: Set a fixed amount in rBux points to be applied regardless of the price of the product. Setting a fixed rBux amount means if you set it at 10 rBux, then referrers of $100 get 10 rBux, and referrers of $1000 get 10 rBux. The rBux commission portion remains the same as the default scale above. 1 rBux is equivalent to $1 USD.
