How affiliate links work

Affiliate links allow you to track referrals and earn commissions when users sign up for Framer through your unique URLs.

Anyone who’s manually approved, publishes a template or plugin, or joins as a Framer Expert becomes part of the Creator Program. Once you’re in, you’ll see the “Links” tab in your dashboard. Here, you can:

  • Find your main affiliate link, which is your default, permanent URL. You can use it anywhere—on social media, your portfolio, newsletters—and it’ll track all conversions. While it can’t be deleted, you can customize the handle (slug) in Dub.

  • Create custom links for different Framer pages or campaigns. There’s no limit to how many custom links you can create, so feel free to tailor them to various channels or audiences.

  • When you remix a project, a remix link is auto-generated in your dashboard—no manual parameters needed.

Please note that old affiliate links created with FirstPromoter still work—any existing via-tag links will now automatically track through Dub.

How does the affiliate tracking work?

All affiliate links are powered by Dub, which handles both referral tracking and payouts. Payouts are processed automatically via Stripe, so make sure your payment details are set up correctly in Dub to receive your earnings. You can access your Dub account directly from the ‘Links’ tab in your Creator Dashboard. To manage payouts, update payment information, and track commissions in detail, go directly to Dub.

Every link you create has real-time analytics built in—track clicks, sign-ups, subscriptions, and earnings right from the ‘Links’ tab in your Creator Dashboard. If your numbers seem higher than expected lately, it’s because of the transition from FirstPromoter to Dub. As part of the migration, we regenerated events (clicks, leads, sales) for all existing leads. But don’t worry—your revenue is accurate and up to date.

Yes, you can change your link handle through Dub (e.g., from framer.link/steve to framer.link/peter)—but it’s important to mention that the old version will stop working and redirect to the Framer homepage, and any clicks won’t be tracked or attributed to you. In case you decide to change it, make sure to update any live posts or pages where you’ve shared it.

To update your affiliate link slug, go to Dub, open your ‘Affiliate Links’ folder, click your main link, unlock it, and update the slug.

Guidelines & Notes

  • Your Dub account is automatically set up for you—access it directly via the Links tab.

  • Free templates are fair game—feel free to include affiliate links inside them. If a user signs up and upgrades through your link, you’ll earn a commission.

  • Paid ads using affiliate links are not allowed. This will result in removal from the program.
