Everything you need to know about tracking referral activity as a PulsoEarn ambassador.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I earn commissions?+

You earn a 10% commission on every confirmed sale made through your personal referral link. Commissions apply to your own sales only — not to sales made by anyone you refer.

When are tracked commissions reviewed?+

Tracked commissions move through confirmation, hold, and review states after the sale is confirmed and the return/refund window has closed. The current launch is tracker-only, so disbursement setup is handled separately after founder approval.

What happens if a sale is charged back or returned?+

If a sale you referred is charged back or returned, the associated commission is reversed. The deduction appears in your Chargeback History. Your rolling chargeback rate affects your account health score.

Do I need to file taxes on my commissions?+

Yes. As an independent contractor, you are responsible for reporting commission income to the IRS. If you earn $600 or more in a calendar year, you will receive a 1099-NEC form. PulsoEarn provides informational tax tools on your dashboard — consult a licensed tax professional for personal tax advice.

What is W-9 collection and why is it required?+

A W-9 provides your taxpayer identification number so PulsoEarn can issue accurate 1099 tax forms. Only the last 4 digits of your Tax ID are stored on our servers. Full TIN is never retained.

How do referral links work?+

Each ambassador gets a unique referral link for each brand. When someone clicks your link and makes a qualifying purchase, the sale is attributed to you using last-click attribution. Click tracking is privacy-safe — raw IP addresses are never stored.

Can I build a team?+

Yes. You can invite other ambassadors to join your team. Once you have 2 or more team members, you earn Ambassador Leader status. Note: commissions are personal only — you do not earn a percentage of your team members’ sales.

What is the NorthStar system?+

NorthStar is your daily motivation and accountability system. It includes a daily mission, outreach tracker, reflection form, and a momentum score. Consistent daily activity grows your momentum tier from Ember → Spark → Flow → Surge → Apex.

Is disbursement setup available at launch?+

No. PulsoEarn is launching as a tracker-only platform. Disbursement setup is deferred until the founder approves that phase and the required provider setup is complete.

Is PulsoEarn employment?+

No. Ambassador participation is as an independent contractor (1099 basis), not employment. You set your own hours, methods, and workload. PulsoEarn does not withhold taxes or provide employee benefits.
