​

What is the Partner Program?

The Partner Program allows developer advocates to earn referral fees for introducing CodeCrafters to their friends and community.

​

What can I earn as a partner?

We pay out 60% of the revenue we collect from the customers you refer.

For example, if you refer a customer to us that spends $720 in the two years from sign up, you earn $432. If you refer 100 such customers, you earn $43,200.

Customers spend up to $360 annually. There are no limits to the earnings.

​

Is the Partner Program for me?

If you have access to an audience of developers, the Partner Program is for you.

The Program is currently invite only. We are constantly reaching out to new Partners, often based on suggestions from our customers.

If you think you’d be a fit, you’re welcome to email us at sarup@codecrafters.io.

​

How do I make my referrals?

Once you join the program, we’ll create a unique referral link for you. You can share this link to make the referrals, and we’ll automatically attribute the signup and list it on your dashboard.

Your referral can try out CodeCrafters for free without a credit card, and upgrade to a paid Membership when they’re ready. Once their Membership status changes, it will reflect on your dashboard instantly, and your payout value will be updated.

From time to time, we run different experiments to incentivise customers to sign up, and you’re welcome to check with us about any ongoing promotions you can share.

Frequently Asked Questions

​

What is CodeCrafters?

CodeCrafters is a platform loved by software engineers to practice advanced programming concepts.

On CodeCrafters, engineers learn by deconstructing popular developer tools and recreating them from scratch — in any programming language. For example, someone looking to master Rust might do our Build your own Redis or Build your own Docker course — not only do they hone their Rust skill, they simultaneously strengthen their networking and systems programming knowledge.

​

How do we know engineers want this?

• Our Build your own X repo is the 10th most popular GitHub repo (170k+ stars)
• Our Hacker News launch was the 12th most popular YC HN launch of all time
• Search Twitter / Reddit / HN for CodeCrafters
• Used by developers at Google, Apple, GitHub, etc.
• Backed by YCombinator and top developer leaders

Terms

We created this program to share our wins with the developer community that has already been referring us to their friends and community.

A genuine referral to your community is welcome. We appreciate an unbiased, educational referral (“check it out and decide for yourself”) vs. an overly promotional one (“you got to buy this”). Our discerning customers appreciate it when they can make their own educated decision.

Malicious tactics are not welcome. It’s forbidden to:

• Refer yourself to get a discount
• Run paid ads competing with CodeCrafters’ SEO efforts
• Represent yourself or your relationship with CodeCrafters in a false or misleading way
• Deploy tactics such as Typosquatting
• Post CodeCrafters in general forums that have clearly no relevant audience

Payments are subject to the following conditions:

• The minimum pay out is $100
• Withdrawals are enabled 14 days after you receive an earning, to account for refunds and admin
• CodeCrafters may ask for proper due diligence or KYC at any time

Engaging in malicious tactics will result in getting banned from the Partner Program.

Finally, CodeCrafters reserves the right to revise these terms at any time.
