How Pair Credit works
When your link helps a teacher buy another creator's resource, you earn Pair Credit from our commission. The resource creator keeps their full earnings.
Share links or search
Share links are one way. Helpful listings that bring teachers to the marketplace count too.
You share a resource link.
A teacher buys another creator's resource.
Example: A classroom-ready resource
You earn Pair Credit from our commission.
Where Pair Credit comes from
Pair Credit comes out of the platform's commission - never from the creator who made the resource. When you earn Pair Credit, the product creator's earnings are not affected.
After a teacher clicks your link, an eligible purchase within 30 days can earn you Pair Credit. That gives colleagues time to decide whether the resource is right for them.
Pair Credit is not about turning teachers into marketers. It is about recognizing the work of connecting colleagues with materials that help their students.
A $5 sale, step by step
Here's a simple example of Pair Credit in action.
When your listing is found in search
To qualify for Pair Credit from search, a listing must meet the current eligibility baseline. Your creator dashboard shows the private score, status, and guidance based on listing completeness, previews, alignment, and other quality signals.
When a teacher arrives from online search and buys another creator's resource during that same visit, you can earn Pair Credit. This is different from the longer credit window attached to a share link.
If a visitor arrived through both a share link and a listing found in search, the share link gets priority. This ensures the teacher who actively shared a resource gets recognized first.
Join as a founding creator, get 5% commission for 12 calendar months, and earn Pair Credit when an eligible share or search visit leads to another creator's sale.
