What this structure costs on your numbers
Take a plan of €50 a month: €600 in the first 12 months, at a 70% gross margin. Keeping half of the gross profit leaves a reward budget of €210 for each referred customer. These are example figures, not Contabo's.
Contabo's page does not state enough to price its rewards, so compare your own reward cost per referred customer with the budget above.
Cash bounty
Start from the “Cash for every paying customer” template
Only the referrer earns: a fixed amount of cash or credit for each friend who becomes a qualifying customer.
- Create a free RefRef account and add your Project.
- Create a Program from the “Cash for every paying customer” template.
- Set the rewards: €20 to €250 per first order, by product for the partner, or your own amounts.
- Install the landing script and send the signup and purchase Events. RefRef connects each customer to their referrer and records the Rewards.
