Starting tier
Get your referral link under Console → Referral Program
Paying referred users ≥ 50 or Total valid top-ups from referred users ≥ ¥2,000
Once you qualify, operations is notified and upgrades you after a manual review (within 3 business days)
Paying referred users ≥ 500 or Total valid top-ups from referred users ≥ ¥20,000
As above; individuals or organisations with larger reach can describe their case in the "Notes" field of the application form
Tiers of 5% / 10% / 15%. The defaults are only an example; adjust them to your situation.
Model: each user tops up once a month until reaching the total number of top-ups (fractions are prorated); monthly commission = commissionable top-ups that month × that month's rate.
In month 1 total commission reaches ¥100, so you can request an Alipay cash-out (paid on the 10th of each month); before that, you can transfer it to your API balance from ¥1.
| Month | Rate | Top-ups | Commissionable | Commission | Paying referred users | Total valid top-ups |

Earnings depend on what your referred users actually top up; the calculator only illustrates the rules and is not a promise of earnings. Actual commission follows the records under Console → Referral Program, and tier upgrades are reviewed manually.
The full 88API Referral Program Terms. Rule changes are announced 7 days in advance; if language versions differ, the Simplified Chinese version prevails.
A new user who signs up through your referral link is bound to you (sign-ups with Google, GitHub, Telegram or other third-party accounts count too); the last referral link clicked before sign-up counts. Existing users cannot be bound retroactively, and a binding cannot be changed.
Orders paid successfully by referred users through the online channels on the top-up page (currently Alipay / Alipay International / Stripe / USDT). Redemption codes, subscription plans, balance transferred from commission, and manual or offline credits (including bank transfers) do not earn commission.
Commission = amount paid × your tier rate at the time of the top-up, rounded to the cent. Example: a referred user tops up ¥200 while you are Advanced (10%), so you earn ¥20.
A commission record is created when a referred user's top-up succeeds and becomes "available commission" once approved; approval is currently automatic.
You can request a cash-out at any time; the amount is frozen once you submit, and you can cancel before review. Once approved, requests submitted on or before the 10th of a month are paid on the 10th of that month, and requests submitted from the 11th are paid on the 10th of the following month (Beijing time).
Top-ups made before 2026-08-16 07:39:57 (Beijing time, i.e. 2026-08-15 23:39:57 UTC) do not earn commission.
If a referred order is refunded or charged back, the platform may cancel the related commission and recover any amount already paid out or used (any shortfall is deducted from your account balance).
Referring yourself (including alternate accounts), bulk sign-ups, fake top-ups, topping up and then refunding to obtain commission, impersonating 88API, or promoting in non-compliant contexts. If found, the platform may reject cash-out requests, recover paid commission, revoke your referral eligibility and suspend the account.
Single-level only: no sub-agents or team commissions, and no agency fees or deposits. Promoters are responsible for declaring tax on referral income.
The Referral Program rewards partners who bring genuinely new users to 88API and may be used only for that purpose. Earning commission through self-referrals, bulk or fake sign-ups, fake top-ups, or any other improper means is prohibited. If we detect such activity, we may cancel the related commission, recover commission already paid, and suspend or terminate your participation, and we reserve the right to pursue legal remedies for any resulting losses.
