Find the Right Affiliate Program for You
ddownload offers you a choice between three different affiliate programs – depending on how you want to share and monetize your content.
If you offer a large number of downloadable files, the PPD Program (Pay per Download) is ideal. You can earn up to €10 for every 1,000 downloads of your files.
If you're a content creator or influencer, the PPS Program (Pay per Sale) might be more attractive: you receive 50% of the sale price for each referred customer – potentially up to €25 per successful transaction.
Not sure which model is right for you? Then start with the Mix Program. As the name suggests, it combines the benefits of both models. While you only receive 50% of the standard download payout, you also earn 30% commission for each referred sale.
Once you’ve gained some experience with the ddownload affiliate program, you can switch to another model at any time.

Gain New Members with the PPS Affiliate Program
Unlike ddownload’s PPD program, the PPS Affiliate Program is not based on the number of downloads but on successfully referring new paying users. This can be done either by sharing your files or directly through your personal referral link provided by ddownload.
You can find your individual affiliate link in your user account under profile settings. This link is ideal for embedding in an ad banner on your website, for example. If someone visits ddownload through your link and then purchases a premium account, you receive a 50% commission of the purchase price.
It doesn’t matter whether the customer is new or already registered – you always receive the same percentage. As soon as your balance reaches €50, you can request a payout. Available payout methods include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether (USDT), PerfectMoney, WebMoney, Payeer, and PayPal.
Payout processing can take up to 10 business days after request.
