Help for affiliates – Earn commission with referral links

How to earn as a NODIKA affiliate – registration, creating referral links and the widget, how commission arises, KYC documents, payouts and the affiliate dashboard.

This page was machine-translated from German. In case of doubt, the German version applies: Deutsch

Affiliates bring customers to NODIKA – via their own website, ads, social media or existing contacts – and receive a commission for every job completed that way. You don't need any technicians or a trade business for this.

What is the difference from a partner?

If you are a trade business that also wants to carry out jobs itself, register as a partner.

Registration and login

1. Open www.nodika.de/affiliate/info and fill out the form: name, email, password (at least 8 characters).
2. Your account is active immediately – there is no waiting time.
3. Later you log in at www.nodika.de/affiliate/login. Forgot your password? Via "Reset password" you receive a link by email (valid for one hour).

The affiliate dashboard

After logging in at www.nodika.de/affiliate/dashboard you see:

• Tiles: Total balance, Open (not yet paid out), Last payout.
• Referral links: your links with code, category, status, creation date and number of jobs.
• Commissions: every transaction with type, job reference and amount, filterable by period.
• Settings: payout method (Bank transfer (IBAN)), payout threshold and KYC status.
• Documents: upload for Business License and ID.

Creating referral links

Tap Create link. Optionally choose a category (e.g. Locksmith); the customer then lands directly in the matching form. As an affiliate, you always create Marketplace links: the customer is offered all available NODIKA technicians near them, sorted by distance.

For each link you can:

• Copy – paste the address into your website, ad or email.
• Embed – copy ready-made code for an order form directly on your website. The form automatically adapts to the page width. Orders through it count like clicks on your link.
• Deactivate – the link then no longer works, but is kept together with its statistics.

You can create several links – for example one per website, campaign or channel – to see what works best.

How your commission arises

1. A customer clicks your link or uses your embedded form. For this session, NODIKA remembers that you brought them.
2. The customer orders as usual and chooses a technician.
3. As soon as the job is completed, your commission is calculated and credited to your balance.
4. You see it immediately in the dashboard under Commissions – with net, VAT and gross.

Where does the money come from? Your commission is paid entirely out of NODIKA's share. The business carrying out the job gets its full price, and the customer doesn't pay a cent more. So you're not taking anything away from anyone – which is why partner businesses are happy about affiliate customers.

The commission rate is set individually for your account; you see the standard rate during registration and your current rate in the dashboard.

There is no commission for cancelled or expired jobs. If a job that has already been completed is cancelled afterwards, the commission is booked back as a Reversal.

KYC: uploading documents

Before NODIKA is allowed to pay out money, we need to know who you are. In the dashboard under Documents, upload your Business License and an ID (PDF, JPEG, PNG or WebP). The status changes from Verification pending to Verified – or to Declined with a reason; then simply upload updated documents.

You already collect commissions without KYC; payouts are only made after verification.

Payouts

• Payouts are made by Bank transfer (IBAN) – enter your account in the settings.
• Set a payout threshold: only when your open balance reaches this sum is a payout made. This saves you lots of small amounts.
• NODIKA processes payouts manually. In the dashboard you see the status of each payout (Pending → Paid out) and the transfer reference.

Tips for more commission

• Use the category preselection if your site has a specific topic (e.g. a car site → Jump-start for a car). The customer saves a step.
• Embed the form directly instead of just linking. Visitors who aren't sent away are more likely to order.
• Create one link per channel so that you can see in the dashboard where your jobs come from.
• Explain the core promise to your visitors: price visible upfront, live tracking, no phone call needed.

Frequently asked questions from affiliates

Do I need a registered business? For payouts, NODIKA requires a Business License as part of the KYC check. Commissions are not paid out without this check.

How long is a customer attributed to me? For the current session – i.e. if they order after clicking your link without leaving the site in between. That's why the embedded form is worthwhile.

Do I also get commission if the customer chooses a different technician than the first one? Yes. What matters is that the job came about via your link and was completed – regardless of which technician carries it out.

Can I give preference to my own technicians? No, that's only possible as a partner with the Exclusive or Hybrid link types. If you have a business, register as a partner – there you can do both.

Can I see who ordered? You see the job reference, the amount and the time – no personal customer data.
