Referrals and promoter rewards: earn by sharing

When someone buys an animal or genetics on the marketplace within 30 days of opening your Creatures link, you earn 1% of the price in your Wallet. The buyer gets 1% back as Creatures Credit. Both rewards are paid 7 days after the sale is released to the seller.


Share a listing


On any active listing, select Promote & Earn. The button shows about how much you could earn, such as Promote & Earn $8+ on an $850 animal.

The window that opens shows your exact reward, that your link tracks for 30 days, and that buyers get 1% back as Creatures Credit. Copy your link with the copy button, or share it to X or Facebook. On a phone, you may also see a share button that opens your phone's share menu. Your link has your own code in it, so send this one, not the address from your browser bar.

Not signed in? Promote & Earn asks for your first name, last name and email. Select Get my referral link, or continue with Google, Facebook or X.


Share your profile


Your profile link works too. Open Money > Wallet and find the Promote & Earn card. It has your profile link, a copy button, and buttons to share on X or Facebook (plus your phone's share button on a phone).


What counts


  • Animal and genetics purchases on the marketplace. Bookings, gift cards, Creatures Pro and other services don't earn rewards.
  • The last link the buyer opened wins. If they open another member's link later, that person gets the reward.
  • Buying through your own link doesn't count.
  • An animal paid for entirely with Credit and Wallet money earns no reward.
  • Sharing your own listing earns the normal 1%. A seller's extra boost for promoters goes only to other people.


Sellers can add a boost to pay promoters more. See Covering buyer fees and adding promoter rewards.


Follow your rewards


Open Money > Referrals. The top shows Total Earned, Pending and Completed Payouts. Below, filter the list with All rewards, Pending, Paid or Shared links. Each button shows how many rows it holds.


A listing shows up here once someone opens your link to it. Its status is No sale yet, Pending (sold, reward not paid yet) or Paid. On a phone, each listing is a card.

Nothing shared yet? You see Start earning referral rewards and a Browse listings to share button.


When rewards are paid


  1. The buyer pays, and both rewards start as pending.
  2. The seller's sale is released, which starts a 7-day wait.
  3. After 7 days, your reward lands in your Wallet as a Referral bonus row. At the same time, the buyer's Credit changes from pending to completed.

If the sale is refunded before the reward is paid, both rewards are cancelled.


If a reward is missing


  • Check that the buyer opened your link within 30 days and didn't open someone else's link after it.
  • Check that it was an animal or genetics purchase on the marketplace.
  • Wait for the sale to be released, then 7 more days.


Still missing? Contact Support with the buyer's name, the listing and the purchase date.
