Kapwing - Creator Sponsorship

Kapwing runs the Kapwing Affiliate Program (KAP), designed for video creators, influencers, and content publishers who promote Kapwing’s online video editing platform. The program is hosted on Tapfiliate and provides affiliates with referral links, tracked conversions, and marketing support. Affiliates earn recurring commissions when users subscribe to Kapwing through their unique links.

Program Model

The program operates on a tiered commission structure. Affiliates start at the Gold Tier with a 25% commission on subscription revenue. By meeting performance requirements, affiliates can progress to Platinum (30%) and VIP (35%). Commissions are recurring for as long as referred users remain subscribed, offering long‑term passive income. Tracking is managed through Tapfiliate, with a 30‑day cookie window. Payouts are made monthly via PayPal once earnings are confirmed.
