Quick answer

Yes. Kajabi runs an active Partner Program paying 30% lifetime recurring commission for each activated referral, with no cap. You do not need a Kajabi account to join — its help centre states participation is free and open. Payouts are made on the 25th of each month, and annually where the referral is on an annual plan. Kajabi does not publish a cookie duration.

Who this is best for

Good fit

  • Creator-economy publishers and educators
  • Consultants who set up course and membership businesses for clients
  • Agencies and freelancers building on Kajabi

Poor fit

  • Affiliates who need a published attribution window before committing

Pros and limitations

Pros

  • Uncapped lifetime recurring on a high-priced product, the strongest combination in this category
  • Plan prices are high, so 30% is a large absolute amount per referral
  • No requirement to be a paying Kajabi customer, contrary to what is widely reported
  • Separate tracks for affiliates and for agencies or freelancers

Limitations

  • Cookie duration is not published anywhere we could verify
  • High plan prices mean lower conversion rates than cheaper course platforms
  • Commission depends on the referral activating, not merely signing up

Editor's notes

This record originally stated that Kajabi requires an active paying account to join its Partner Program — a claim repeated across most affiliate directories. Kajabi’s own help centre says the opposite: no account is needed and joining is free. We corrected it after a link audit sent us to the primary source, and left the correction visible in the change history below rather than quietly editing the page.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to pay for Kajabi to be an affiliate?

No. This is widely reported and it is wrong. Kajabi’s own help centre states you do not need a Kajabi account to join the Partner Program and that it is free to start. We previously repeated the customer-only claim ourselves before checking it against Kajabi’s documentation.

How much does Kajabi pay affiliates?

30% lifetime recurring commission for each activated referral, with no cap on how long it is paid. Payouts land on the 25th of each month, or annually where the referral is on an annual plan.
