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.

These are the standing terms. A change applies only to conversions happening at least 30 days after we tell you.

- Recurring
- 10% on each renewal, for as long as the customer stays
- Attribution window
- 60 days, last click, first-party cookie
- Trial handling
- A commission is earned when the 3-day trial converts, not when it starts
- Payout threshold
- EUR 50
- Payment schedule
- Monthly, on the 10th, for the month before
- Method
- Bank transfer through Stripe, in euros or US dollars
- Clawback
- A refunded or withdrawn subscription reverses its commission

How it works
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.
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.
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.
