Account and billing
Share Mirin with another business owner and earn account credit
Customers on an active full service plan get a referral link. The owner you refer saves half their first month, and you earn a month of their plan once they stay.

Your link
Share it anywhere. Opening it sets up attribution; the referral counts once the new customer finishes signing up.
A simple name customers will recognize. Old links keep working after you change it.
Credits
Where every referral stands, in dollars.
How it works
Their first month, on whichever plan they choose.
Whatever they pay a month, as credit on your account.
Paid by the business you referred. There is nothing else to wait for.

Whatever they pay a month. A bigger plan earns you more.
Paid by the business you referred. There is no waiting period on top.
The credit comes off your next bill in full rather than in pieces.
Your Referrals page always shows the amounts in effect when you open it.
How a referral counts
Four moments turn a shared link into credit on your account.
- Copy your linkAccount settings, then Referrals.
- Share itRemembered in their browser for 30 days.
- They subscribeTheir checkout shows the credit.
- Your credit is approvedAfter 2 invoices they have paid.
Your link looks like mirin.com/from/your-name, and it takes whoever opens it to the Mirin homepage.
The referral counts once they finish signing up and subscribe through your link, where their checkout shows the credit as First payment credit. Your credit is approved once the business you referred has paid 2 monthly invoices, which is the only gate. From there the whole credit comes off your next bill, and anything worth more than that bill carries to the one after.
Renaming your link
Change Link name to something customers will recognize, then choose Save. Use 3 to 64 letters or numbers, with hyphens between words. Links you shared before keep working.
Follow each referral
Credits shows four totals, and Activity lists every referral with its status.
- Referrals
- Customers who finished signing up.
- Pending
- Credit that is still qualifying.
- Ready to apply
- Approved credit, waiting for your next bill.
- Applied
- Credit already taken off your bills.
What each status means
Recorded is the one to know. A referral shows it while it is on your account with no credit set up for it yet, which happens when your own plan was not active and paid at the time it arrived.
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Qualifying | Waiting for the customer to stay active long enough. |
| Qualified | Qualified and waiting for the next credit sync. |
| Approved | Ready to apply to your next bill. |
| Applying | Credit has started coming off your bills. |
| Applied | Credit fully applied. |
| Voided | The referred subscription ended before it qualified. |
| Recorded | The referral is recorded, and no credit has been set up for it yet. |
Rules to know
The program has real money in it, so a few limits keep it fair.
- Only customers on an active, paid full service plan can refer. For everyone else, Referrals explains why the link is not available.
- Referring yourself does not count. A referral from your own email address or your own payment account earns nothing.
- Credits are account credits. They are not cash and cannot be transferred.
- If you share your link in a public post, review or newsletter, say that you may receive account credit.
- Mirin may deny or reverse a credit after a refund, dispute, cancellation or failed payment, or for abuse, and may change or end the program.
Common questions
- How much do I earn for a referral?
- A month of whatever plan the business you referred signed up on. Someone who joins on a larger plan earns you more, because they are worth more to Mirin.
- When does a referral qualify?
- Once the business you referred has paid 2 monthly invoices. There is no separate waiting period to sit through.
- When does my referral credit come off my bill?
- Once it qualifies, the whole credit applies to your next bill. If the credit is worth more than that bill, the remainder carries to the bill after it.
- What happens if the customer I referred cancels?
- A referral whose subscription ends before it qualifies is voided. Mirin may also deny or reverse a credit after a refund, dispute, cancellation or failed payment.
- Can I refer myself?
- No. A referral from your own email address or your own payment account earns nothing.
