What kinds of referrals are a good fit?
A good referral is a church, ministry, nonprofit, denominational office, agency, or consultant who is tired of chasing requests through texts, inboxes, shared docs, and last-minute hallway conversations. If they need a clearer way to manage communication requests, website updates, announcements, calendars, reviews, sermon planning, or guest follow-up, they are probably worth a conversation.
Is this only for local churches?
No. Local churches are the obvious fit, but denominational teams, ministry networks, nonprofits, and church-adjacent organizations often have the same communications tangle with different labels.
Can agencies refer clients?
Yes. Agencies can refer churches or ministry organizations when Church Comms Dashboard is a strong fit for the client. Agency participation still requires approval, clear attribution, and appropriate disclosure.
Can denominational leaders or consultants participate?
Yes. Consultants, coaches, denominational leaders, and ministry advisors can participate when they are approved and can make referrals in a transparent, trust-based way.
How are referrals tracked?
ChurchCommsDashboard.com reads referral parameters including ref, affiliate, partner, ccd_ref, and fox_ref. Where possible, the site stores first-party attribution for up to 365 days and includes landing page, referrer, timestamp, UTM values, and current URL with beta access, updates, inquiry, purchase, or demo forms.
What if a church signs up later without using my link?
Manual attribution may be available when the referral relationship is clear and documented. 5ox retains final approval over attribution and commissions so the program can stay fair, practical, and honest.
What does lifetime recurring mean?
For eligible subscription or platform revenue, lifetime recurring means the approved partner may earn the applicable commission percentage for as long as the referred account remains active, in good standing, and commissionable under the partner terms.
Are setup services commissionable?
Eligible initial setup, build, or implementation fees may earn the applicable one-time commission. Public partner terms list the standard 20 percent setup/build/implementation commission.
Are later services or communications retainers commissionable?
Custom services and communications-management retainers are excluded unless explicitly approved in writing. The partner program is primarily for eligible product, platform, setup, build, and implementation revenue.
When are commissions paid?
Commission timing depends on approved partner terms, collected revenue, refunds or chargebacks, account standing, and ledger review. Payment details are confirmed during partner approval.
What disclosure is required?
Partners must disclose material referral or affiliate relationships. Keep recommendations honest, and do not promise pricing, delivery timelines, custom features, privacy or compliance guarantees, or support commitments that have not been approved by 5ox.
