AI Code With partner program
Claude Code API affiliate program: earn on every top-up
Share AI Code With with developers who use Claude Code, Codex, or other AI coding tools. They sign up with your link and pay as they go for the API; you earn a commission on each top-up they make. Signups, top-ups, and commission are all tracked in your dashboard.

Two ways to partner
The referral program covers most people. If you run a channel with a steady audience, apply as a channel partner.
Referral commission
Turned on automatically for every account. No review needed.
- Earn 3% of every top-up from people who sign up with your link
- Commission lands in Rewards; claim it within 30 days and it goes to your bonus balance
- See referral count, top-up trend, and commission details in the dashboard
- Copy your link or invite code, or download a QR code
Channel partner
For courses, communities, creators, and partners with a steady source of users.
- Commission rate is negotiated separately; larger partners, contact support directly
- Optional top-up bonus for the users you bring in
- Commission is paid manually to Alipay on a fixed day each month, with a ¥20 withdrawal threshold; you can also withdraw to your site balance
- Channel accounts also earn commission on their own top-ups
How it works: three steps
It runs on the existing invite code system. Nothing to sign or install.
1. Get your link
Sign up, open the Referral page in the dashboard, and copy your invite link or QR code. Your invite code is created when you register.
2. Share it
Add it to a tutorial, a README, a video description, or a community post. People who sign up through it are linked to your account.
3. Earn on top-ups
Each time a referral tops up, commission is calculated on the amount actually paid and added to Rewards; claim it within 30 days and it goes to your bonus balance. Channel partner commission is paid manually to Alipay on a fixed day each month, with a ¥20 withdrawal threshold.
Commission = each top-up actually paid by your referral × commission rate (default 3%)
Ways to promote
What converts best is a real setup guide with your link next to it.
Setup guides
Write a guide to connecting Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor to an API, and include your link.
Videos and streams
Record a walkthrough of the setup and put your link in the description.
README and docs
List AI Code With as an optional API provider in your project or plugin docs.
Communities and courses
Recommend it in developer groups, course material, or bootcamps where people need API access.
Program rules
These keep the program fair. Commission that breaks them is not paid.
- Referral program: you cannot use your own invite code. The system rejects it. Channel accounts do earn commission on their own top-ups.
- Do not sell, rent, or share API keys. You promote a signup link, never a key.
- Do not overstate quota or claim to be the model provider. Usage is pay-as-you-go and billed per token.
- No spam and no promoting under someone else's name.
FAQ
How do I join, and how fast do I get a link?
The referral program needs no application: once you sign up, your link and QR code are on the Referral page in the dashboard. For a channel or large-volume partnership, contact support about your channel and audience; the rate is negotiated separately.
How is commission calculated and when is it paid?
Commission is each top-up your referral actually pays, multiplied by your rate. The default rate is 3%. Referral commission goes to Rewards as a pending reward; claim it within 30 days and it is added to your bonus balance (not your available balance). The channel partner rate is negotiated separately; larger partners, contact support. Channel commission is paid manually to Alipay on a fixed day each month. The withdrawal threshold is ¥20: anything above ¥20 can be withdrawn to Alipay, or to your site balance if you prefer.
What about self-referrals and refunds?
In the referral program you cannot use your own invite code; the system rejects it. Channel accounts also earn commission on their own top-ups. Whether refunds claw back commission: TBD, final rules apply.
Do you provide promo materials or UTM tracking?
There is no ready-made copy or image pack yet. The dashboard gives you an invite link (?invitation= or ?s= form), invite code, and QR code; add UTM parameters or a UTM short code to compare posts or videos. If you need custom copy, email us with your use case.
How is this different from selling API keys?
You never buy keys to pass on, and you never handle billing or support. Each referral has their own account and API key and pays as they go; you recommend and earn on their real top-ups. Selling or sharing API keys breaks our terms, and related commission is not paid.
