The Yeşilçam Studios affiliate program lets you earn a commission on payments from customers who arrive through your own link: 15% on subscription payments and 10% on token packs, for 12 months from each customer’s first payment. Commissions are confirmed after a 14-day refund period, and you take your earnings as tokens worth 1.5 times the amount or, if you are a business, in cash against an invoice.
The program’s overview page is at Affiliate; the application and your panel are at /app/affiliate in the app. This guide walks through every step from applying to getting paid. For a broader look at working with your audience, see the article on affiliate income for creators.
How do you apply?
- Sign in with your Yeşilçam Studios account and open /app/affiliate. Applying is free.
- Choose the account type. Individual affiliates receive their earnings as tokens. Business is for companies and sole proprietorships that can issue invoices; business affiliates can choose tokens or cash.
- Add your social media accounts. Enter Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, LinkedIn, a website or another platform, each with its current follower count. At least one account is required.
- Describe your audience. Write, in at least 30 characters, who follows you, what you share and how you will introduce Yeşilçam Studios.
- Accept the terms. Tick that you have read and accept the Affiliate Programme Terms. The Turkish text is the binding version.
- Send the application. Your application is reviewed and the result is usually emailed within a few business days.
If your application is not approved, the panel shows the date from which you can apply again. When a new version of the terms is published, the panel asks you to accept it before you carry on.
How do you share your link?
Once approved, the Your link section of the panel contains:
- Code and short link: your personal code and the short link that carries it; Copy grabs it.
- Link to a specific page: a deep link that takes visitors to a page you choose instead of the home page, such as Pricing, Film Studio, Image Studio, Design Studio, Animation Studio, Website Studio or straight into the app.
- QR code: downloadable as SVG for print or presentations.
- Marketing kit: ready-made promo videos and texts you can share.
A visitor who clicks your link is attributed to you if they sign up within 60 days; if several affiliate links were clicked, the last one counts. Every post that contains your link or code must be clearly marked as advertising (with #ad, for example), as advertising rules require.
How is commission calculated?
| Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| Subscription payments | 15% |
| Token packs | 10% |
| Duration | 12 months from the customer’s first payment |
| Basis | Net amount excluding VAT |
| Confirmation | 14 days after each payment |
| Minimum payout | ₺1,000 or $50 |
A customer you bring in earns you a separate commission on every subscription renewal and every pack purchase they make within those 12 months. Commission is calculated on the payment’s net amount excluding VAT. The Commissions table in the panel shows the date, customer, type (Subscription or Token pack), net sale, rate, commission and status; pending commissions also show the date they will be confirmed.
Refunds and reversals
Each payment is followed by a 14-day refund period. Commissions in that period appear as Pending; when it ends they become Confirmed and move to your available balance. If the customer gets a refund or files a chargeback, the commission is reversed. If the commission has already been paid out to you, the amount is deducted from your next payout and appears as "To be deducted" in the panel.
How do you get paid?
As tokens: Yeşilçam tokens worth 1.5 times the confirmed amount are added to your account instantly. Before you request, the panel shows roughly how many tokens you will receive. These tokens are valid for 365 days from the day they are added. Individual affiliates receive their earnings as tokens only.
In cash: for business affiliates only, and first you need to complete your business details in the panel, such as legal name, tax office, tax number, address and IBAN. Cash payouts run on a monthly cycle:
- Commissions on a month’s sales are confirmed once their 14-day period ends.
- When the period closes, Yeşilçam Studios emails you an invoice request; you don’t need to open a cash request yourself.
- You upload your invoice (PDF, PNG or JPG, up to 10 MB) in the panel.
- After the invoice is approved, payment is made to your IBAN by the 20th of the month following the sales month.
If a period’s total stays below ₺1,000 or $50, the amount is not lost; it carries over to the following months. The Earnings by month table in the panel shows each sales month’s confirmed amount, the amount still in its refund period and the payment due date. You can also opt in to a short summary email every Monday when commissions are confirmed.
What does the person you invite get?
When someone who came through your link makes their first real payment (a subscription or a token pack), a one-time gift of 100,000 tokens is added to their account. These gift tokens are valid for 90 days. Signing up alone does not earn the gift. Token validity periods are explained in the token validity guide.
What is not allowed?
- Self-referral: using your own link to open your own account or a second account is not allowed. Sign-ups from the same person, email, card or device are flagged; they earn no commission and no invitee gift.
- Search ads on our brand name: using the Yeşilçam Studios name as a keyword in search ads is not allowed.
- Spam: spreading your link through unsolicited bulk messages or comments is not allowed.
Breaking the rules can lead to the affiliate account being suspended; while suspended, no new commissions are confirmed. If you have questions, write to us through the contact page. For the general rules on payments and invoices, see the billing and refunds guide.
