Local Shop Host
Know a business owner without a website? They're worth 50% of their subscription. Every month.
Refer them to Local Shop Host. For as long as they stay a client, half of what they pay goes to you. Not a one-time bonus: income that stacks up, client after client.
- Free
- No commitment
- No sales quota
- No need to be a client
You already refer people. For free.
"Know anyone who could build me a website?" You give a name. The business owner signs up. They pay for years.
And you? A thank-you. Maybe a coffee.
The Local Shop Host affiliate program changes one thing: that recommendation now pays you. Every month. For as long as the client stays.
What a client is worth, in real numbers
50% of every payment the client makes, calculated on the plan's real price. Client pays yearly? Your commission lands all at once.
Yearly subscription: commission paid in one shot. Example, Pro yearly ($283): $141.50 for you.
Amounts in Canadian dollars, based on current prices. Clients paying in foreign currencies are converted, never undervalued.
Three steps. The first takes two minutes.
Create your account
Name, email, password. You read and sign the affiliate agreement online. Your referral link is ready right away.
Share your link
By text, by email, on Facebook, on your own site. The visitor is tracked for 365 days: if they subscribe within the year, it's your sale.
Get paid every week
35 days after the customer's payment, the commission becomes available. As soon as your balance reaches $50, it is deposited directly into your bank account with Monday's payout, in CAD or USD. No waiting until the end of the month: every week.
Recruit other affiliates. Earn on their sales too.
Every affiliate you bring in earns you 5% on their clients. The affiliates they recruit in turn: 1%. Your network works while you do something else.
We don't pay pyramids. To earn on your network, you must have brought in real paying clients yourself: 2 for the first level, 5 for the second. An affiliate who only recruits earns nothing.
You have nothing to create.
Everything you need to share is already in your dashboard.
Logos, banners and social visuals
Ready to post, in the right formats, in French and English.
Ready-to-send emails
Complete, written sequences. You copy, you personalize, you send.

Posts that don't sound like ads.
Real-time dashboard
Clicks, sign-ups, conversions, commissions. Nothing hidden.
One link per campaign
Know which channel really pays: newsletter, Facebook, word of mouth.
Sales races with prize pools
Contests between affiliates, with real cash prizes on top of your commissions.
You talk to business owners every week.
You don't need a website, an audience, or to know how to code. You need a contact list and a link.
Before you sign up
Do I need to be a Local Shop Host client?
No. You can refer without ever having had a site with us.
How long does my link stay valid?
365 days. Someone clicks today, subscribes eight months later: it's your sale.
Why wait 35 days?
The customer has 30 days to request a refund, plus a few days to process it. After that, the commission is yours. If the customer is refunded before, the commission is cancelled: we don't pay on money we gave back.
How do I get paid?
Every Monday, through Wise, as soon as your available balance reaches $50. You enter your bank account (Canada, United States or IBAN) in your settings and the money is deposited directly, in CAD or USD; or, if you prefer, a Wise email to claim each payout.
What if the client cancels?
Commissions already earned stay yours. Future ones stop with the subscription.
Can the rates change?
Yes, with an email notice at least 30 days in advance. Commissions already earned are protected. It's all written in the agreement you sign at registration.
What is my status?
Independent contractor. You are responsible for taxes on the commissions you receive. You are neither an employee nor an agent of Local Shop Host.
The next business owner you talk to could pay you for years.
Two minutes to create your account. Your link is ready right away.
