Partner or Affiliate — what's different
The two programmes side by side — who each is for, dose limits, what you can see and how you earn, and what it looks like to be in both.
EveryoneUpdated 17/09/2026
Two programmes, and you can be in both. A Partner is a nutrition professional who builds formulas for named clients. An Affiliate builds blends anyone can buy and shares the link. Both earn the same way — one share, split between the customer's discount and your commission — but the share is larger for partners, and only partners choose how it splits. Your own numbers are on Programme numbers and on your Earnings page.
| Partner | Affiliate | |
|---|---|---|
| Who it is for | Nutrition professionals with clients of their own | Creators, writers and anyone with an audience |
| Proof of practice | A certificate or professional membership, checked by us | Not needed |
| Dose ceiling | Up to an ingredient's internal maximum where one exists; above the customer maximum shows an amber note | Up to the customer maximum, always |
| Clients and formulas | Yes — add a client, build a formula, send it by email or link | No |
| Presets | Yes | No |
| Products and links | No | Yes — a long link, a short link and a QR code per blend |
| What you can see of a buyer | With the client's consent: their blends, order status, subscription status and price | Nothing. Counts and amounts only |
| Suggest a change to a subscription | Yes, once the client has consented | No |
| The share | The larger of the two, and you move a slider to decide how it splits | Smaller, split evenly between them and you, and fixed for everyone |
| Commission | One rate, every order, renewals included — worked out on what your client pays after their discount | The same, plus the 30 days click window on anything else bought after a click |
| Name check on a blend | A warning | A block — the name is public |
The same for both
How the money works. One share, split between a discount for the person buying and commission for you; one rate on every order, renewals included; nothing extra for an opening order.
The discount reaches them as a code tied to your link, held on their subscription, so it comes off renewals too.
The claims rules. Say what a blend is, never what it does for the body. See Marketing and claims rules.
Payouts. Monthly, by bank transfer, once your available balance reaches £25.00.
Being in both
One account can be in both programmes: you look after clients and share links. Nothing is duplicated — one sign-in, one referral code, one Earnings page. The portal simply shows both sets of tools, with the affiliate ones marked so you can see which hat you are wearing:
Clients, Formulas and Presets are the partner half.
Products is the affiliate half, and carries a small "Affiliate" beside it in the menu.
The dashboard shows two "Last 30 days" blocks, one for each.
The dose ceiling does not follow you across. A blend you share as a public link can be bought by anybody, so it stays within the customer maximum even if you are a nutritionist — the practitioner range is only for the formulas you send a named client.
