Quick answer: Cloud2Y rewards partners for referred customers. The mechanics are simple: your referral is registered (via an agreed promo code, a WHMCS affiliate link where available in your account, or by naming the client in a ticket), the client orders and pays, and your reward accrues under the terms agreed for your partnership. Current rates and payout rules are confirmed in a pre-sales ticket — they are not a fixed public grid.
Overview
Referral cooperation suits freelancers and consultants who recommend infrastructure but do not want to own the billing relationship: the client pays Cloud2Y directly and receives official invoices, while you get credited for the introduction. WHMCS, the platform behind the Client Area, includes a built-in affiliate feature — where it is enabled for your account you activate it under Affiliates in the Client Area and share your personal link.
Before you start
- An agreed partnership (see how to become a partner) — rewards apply to referrals made under agreed terms.
- A way to attribute your referrals: affiliate link, personal promo code or client names listed in your ticket.
Step-by-step guide
- Confirm your referral terms in the partnership ticket: what counts as a qualified referral, the reward, and how it is paid or credited.
- Choose the attribution method — affiliate link (where available), promo code or manual registration via ticket.
- Refer the client; they order and pay as a normal Cloud2Y customer.
- Track accruals as agreed (affiliate dashboard where available, or ticket statements) and request payout/credit per your terms.
Common issues
- Referral not attributed? Report it in your ticket promptly with the client's order details — late attribution is harder to verify.
- Self-referrals: ordering services for yourself through your own referral is not a qualified referral.
- Refunded or fraudulent orders do not accrue rewards; accruals follow the client's actual paid usage.
When to contact support
Use your ticket for anything referral-related: enabling the affiliate feature, confirming whether a specific client qualifies, checking accrued amounts or arranging a payout.

After the referred client actually orders and pays under your agreed terms. Refunded or fraudulent orders do not qualify, and self-referrals for your own services are excluded.
