How it works#
Every Heropost login has its own referral code and link, ready to share.
- Your friend opens your link and buys a Lifetime plan. The discount is applied automatically when they pay.
- You earn cash for each Lifetime plan bought through your link.
- It works on Lifetime plans only. As the page puts it: "It works on every Lifetime plan." Monthly and yearly plans get no referral discount.
- The link carries the discount. There's no box in Heropost to type a referral code, so share the link, not only the code.
Find your link#
- In the left menu, click Refer & Earn (the gift icon near the bottom). On a phone, open the menu at the top of the screen first.
- Press Copy link under Share link. The button reads Copied ✓ for a moment.
- Paste the link wherever you like: a message, an email, a post.
- Your code is "REF-" plus your first name in capitals, for example REF-ANNA (or REF-HERO if there's no usable first name, with a number added if the code is taken). It's created for you and can't be changed. Copy code copies it.
- Your link looks like app.heropost.io/checkout?ref=REF-ANNA.
- The page needs access to Heropost: an active plan, a trial, or a team you belong to. Without one, Heropost opens the plans page instead.
What your friend does#
- They open your link. If they're signed out, they log in or create a Heropost account.
- They buy a Lifetime plan in the same browser. The discount is added automatically.
- Same browser. The link saves your code in the browser where it's opened. If your friend opens it on their phone but buys on a computer, they need to open the link on the computer too.
- They can buy later. If they sign up first, the code stays saved in that browser for when they buy.
- Your own link doesn't give you a discount.

What you earn#
From the page's What you earn per plan:
| Lifetime plan your friend buys | They save | You earn |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $20 | $20 |
| Growth | $30 | $40 |
| Agency | $30 | $80 |
There's no limit on how many friends you refer. You earn once per referred customer.
Getting paid#
The page shows three numbers:
- Successful referrals: purchases made through your link.
- Earned so far: your total, including amounts not paid out yet. "Paid weekly — unlocks at 2 referrals".
- Top payout per referral: the most one referral can earn, $80.
How payouts work, from the page: "Payouts are processed weekly. A referral becomes eligible 7 days after your friend's purchase, and your first payout unlocks once you have 2 successful referrals. You'll then receive an email to choose your reward: prepaid Visa, Amazon gift card, or 2,500+ other options."
A new referral shows up after your friend's payment goes through. Open the page again to see it.
If it doesn't work#
| What you see | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| "Couldn't load your referral code. Please refresh the page — if it keeps happening, reach out to support." | The page couldn't load your code. | Refresh the page. If it keeps happening, contact support. |
| Copy link or Copy code does nothing | Your browser blocked copying. | Select the link or code on the page and copy it yourself. |
| Your friend got no discount | They bought a monthly or yearly plan, bought in a different browser from the one where they opened your link, or used their own link. | Contact support with your code and your friend's purchase details. |
| A purchase doesn't show in your numbers | The payment isn't confirmed yet, or the page is still showing old numbers. | Open Refer & Earn again later. |
Questions#
My friend bought without using my link. Can it still count?
From the page: "Possibly. Reach out to support with your code and your friend's purchase details, and we'll do our best to credit it."
Can I change my referral code?
No. Codes are created from your first name and can't be changed.
Can my friend type my code at checkout?
No. Heropost has no box for referral codes. Send them your link: the discount comes through it.
Does it work for the monthly AI plans?
No. Referral discounts and earnings apply to Lifetime plans only.
Can I use my own link?
No. Your own code gives you no discount.
