Affiliates

Recommend the apps, get paid for it

If you teach Canva, review tools or run a community of designers, the affiliate program pays you for the subscriptions you bring. The terms are published below in full, because an affiliate program with hidden terms is not worth joining.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Apply in two minutes

    Send us a link to where you would talk about the apps — a channel, a newsletter, a course, a site. We review applications by hand and answer within two business days.

  2. Step 2

    Share your link

    You get a link per app and one for the pricing page, plus a dashboard showing clicks, trials, conversions and what you have earned.

  3. Step 3

    Get paid monthly

    Commissions settle after the refund window closes, and the payout goes out on the 10th once you are over the EUR 50 threshold.

Who does well here

  • Canva trainers and course creators

    Your audience is already in the editor and already hitting the limits our apps remove. A single lesson that shows the workflow converts better than any banner.

  • Design and productivity reviewers

    A real test with your own files, including what the free plan cannot do, earns more trust and more conversions than a feature list.

  • Community and newsletter owners

    Designers, marketers and small studios who swap tools all day. A named recommendation with a disclosure line does the work.

  • Agencies that do not want to invoice seats

    If you would rather your clients buy their own subscriptions, the affiliate link pays you for the recommendation instead.

The rules

Short and strictly enforced: breaking one of the second list ends the partnership and cancels unpaid commissions.

Encouraged

  • Honest reviews, including the parts you do not like.
  • Tutorials, courses and templates that use the apps.
  • Your own screenshots, and ours if you prefer.
  • Disclosing the affiliation clearly — the law requires it and readers reward it.

Not allowed

  • Bidding on our brand name, or on Canva's, in paid search.
  • Coupon, cashback and voucher sites, and anything that intercepts a purchase already in progress.
  • Claiming to be addly, to be Canva, or to be an official partner of Canva.
  • Inventing a testimonial, a figure or a deadline, or promising a discount that does not exist.
  • Self-referrals, and referrals to accounts you control.
  • Unsolicited email, automated posting and anything that would embarrass both of us.
