The apply page is gated: customers finish one step before the next unlocks. If they try to jump ahead, the page reopens the step they still need and shows a short message. Your commission is on the starter website Stripe payment — not on domain or hosting.
Step 1 · Pay starter
Discounted Level offer — Stripe for this offer first
Real commitment gate. They submit details, then pay the live Level price on Stripe. If they want more than this starter (extra pages, features, or a larger build), they note it on the form and HomeToLive quotes and bills that separately. Domain and hosting stay locked until the offer on the link is paid.
This paid amount is what your % commission is calculated on (introduce / percent partners). Your commission is paid about 14 days after the customer pays — not on the same day (customer cooling-off). No commission if they cancel or are refunded in that window.
Step 2 · Domain
Secure the name (~£15+) after pay
Unlocks after starter payment. Checkout uses hometolive.partnerconsole.net — a different login. Tell them to save that password on a private device only.
Domain money goes to the domain partner — not your cut.
Step 3 · Hosting later
Starter hosting ~£50+/year — billed at go-live
Unlocks after domain step. No payment on the apply page — HomeToLive emails a Stripe link when the site is ready, so they are not paying for idle months during the build.
Outside the one-off build commission.
30-second pitch you can copy
“Pay the Level website offer first on Stripe — that books the build. Then lock your domain on the same page (~£15+, private device for that login). Hosting is about £50+/year and we send that later when you're ready to go live.”
Digital product ladder (by what they pay HomeToLive)
Digital product ladder: 4 / 6 / 8 slots by package (£150 band / mid / £1k+). Extra products and full ecommerce are quoted separately.
| Band | Included | Extra SKU | Hard cap |
|---|
| L1Lite / Level 1 starter (~£150–£450) | 4 | £75 | 6 |
| L2Standard / Level 2 (~£450–£1,000) | 6 | £50 | 8 |
| L3Build / Level 3 from ~£1,000 (YOM-class) | 8 | £40 | 12 |
Edit price in admin → buyers pay that amount (included in every band). Past the hard cap, or if they need a cart: Shop upgrade or Shopify — HomeToLive quotes separately. Not partner commission unless billed as a credited build line.
- Share one Level link only — the apply page shows that offer, not all three.
- Private message / your site / in person — not social spam of the referral link.
- Finish Stripe Connect so your commission can land about 14 days after a credited build is paid.
- Tell customers about the 14-day cooling-off — do not say they have none.
