Referral Program FAQ
What is a referral program?
A referral program rewards people for introducing qualified prospects to a company. The Placa.ai Referral Program pays a flat bonus when a referred organization becomes a signed and paid Placa customer.
How is a referral program different from an affiliate program?
A referral is usually a simple business introduction to a specific prospect. An affiliate program is usually broader online promotion with tracking links, campaigns, and separate affiliate terms.
Do I need to be a Placa customer to refer someone?
No. Customers, residents, parents, board members, installers, property managers, consultants, and community contacts may submit referrals, subject to Placa.ai review.
When do I get paid?
Referral bonuses are paid after the referred customer signs a Placa agreement, Placa receives the first payment, and the account remains active and in good standing after onboarding.
How much can I earn?
Qualified closed referrals can earn $500, $1,000, or $1,500 depending on the first-year contract value of the customer.
What counts as a qualified referral?
A qualified referral is a business or organization submitted before Placa has an active sales conversation and before that account is already in Placa pipeline.
Can I refer multiple businesses?
Yes. There is no published cap on qualified referrals, but each referral is reviewed independently and must meet program requirements.
Can employees of schools, HOAs, or companies refer Placa?
They may submit referrals, but they are responsible for following employer, school, HOA, municipal, and organizational policies before accepting any bonus.
What happens if the customer is already talking to Placa?
The referral may be rejected if the prospect was already in an active Placa sales conversation or pipeline before the referral was submitted.
Do referral bonuses apply to existing customers?
No. Referral bonuses are intended for new qualified business referrals and do not apply to existing customer accounts or already registered opportunities.
Is there a limit to how many people I can refer?
You can refer more than one organization. Placa may reject duplicate, fraudulent, self-referrals, unqualified referrals, or referrals that violate applicable policies.
Can security installers participate?
Yes. Security installers can refer prospects through this program or explore Placa partner programs for deeper reseller, white label, or channel relationships.
Can I promote Placa online?
General sharing is welcome, but online promotion, affiliate links, paid ads, and creator campaigns may require separate affiliate or partner approval.
Can I use paid ads to promote Placa?
Paid ads are not automatically approved under the referral program. Contact Placa first because paid promotion may require a separate affiliate or channel agreement.
Can I refer a school, HOA, or parking lot where I work?
You may submit the referral if your organization rules allow it. You are responsible for complying with your own employer, tax, ethics, and conflict-of-interest policies.
Is the referral bonus taxable?
Tax treatment depends on your situation and location. Placa does not provide tax advice, and referrers should consult their own tax advisor.
How long does it take to receive payment?
Timing depends on the sales cycle, signed agreement, first payment, onboarding status, and Placa approval. Bonuses are not payable until the referral becomes a paid customer.
