What Are Monero Affiliate Programs That Pay Out in XMR?
Monero affiliate programs are referral programs offered by businesses that let you earn commissions in Monero (XMR) for sign-ups, transactions, or purchases made through your custom links.
When you send paying customers or leads to these companies, they share a portion of their revenue with you. For the programs listed on this page, payout in Monero is always an option — in some cases it’s the only option, and in others it’s one of several supported payout currencies.

How Do Affiliate Links Actually Work?
Affiliate links are unique URLs given to affiliates to track referrals.
When someone clicks your link, a cookie is usually stored in their browser to track their actions on the business’s site. If they complete a desired action—like making a purchase—the affiliate program attributes that referral to you.
In some cases, there are API keys or custom integrations for more advanced tracking, but the idea is the same: your referrals are tracked, and when you meet the payout threshold, your earnings are paid out in Monero (or another supported currency you choose).
How Do I Add A Monero Affiliate Program To My Business?
We can't give you specific, step-by-step advice on adding a Monero affiliate program at this time. If your business accepts Monero and you’d like to launch an affiliate program that pays out in XMR, contact Monerica to discuss options.
Why Should I Participate in a Monero Affiliate Program That Pays in XMR?
If you can attract customers who pay with Monero, these affiliate programs let you earn commissions directly in Monero (XMR), rather than only in fiat or Bitcoin.
Driving traffic to an affiliate offer can often be done with low or no upfront cost, making it easier to get started than building a full business from scratch.
Unlike many traditional affiliate systems that rely entirely on fiat payments (which can involve chargebacks or frozen funds), Monero transactions are final and private. When a customer pays with Monero and your referral is credited, payouts in XMR are typically fast and robust against fraud-related reversals.
What Does It Take To Be Successful With A Monero Affiliate Program?
The individuals most likely to succeed with Monero affiliate programs that pay in XMR tend to be those who:
- Run a popular website focused on Monero or privacy
- Are skilled in SEO (search engine optimization) for Monero-related content
- Have a large email list of subscribers interested in Monero
- Manage social media accounts or channels with strong Monero-focused engagement
- Own an app, tool, or service that integrates Monero
- Run privacy- or crypto-related advertising campaigns
- Administer or participate in large Monero or privacy group chats
- Review products and services where customers can pay and where affiliates are paid in Monero
Most affiliate programs have a minimum payout threshold. If you don’t reach it, you won’t get paid out. Because of that, it’s usually better to focus your effort on a small number of programs or a single category (for example, exchanges or VPNs) and send consistent, high-quality traffic.
From the programs available, exchanges are often the most profitable category. However, you may find it easier to promote other categories, like VPNs, SIM cards, or prepaid cards, depending on your audience.
What Do I Need To Participate in a Monero Affiliate Program That Pays in XMR?
While each program has its own rules, to participate in the XMR-paying affiliate programs listed above, you generally need:
- An email address for account sign up (some may not require this)
- A Monero wallet address to receive payouts in XMR
Some programs also allow you to choose between Monero and other payout currencies (such as Bitcoin or USDT), but this page only lists programs where Monero is one of the payout options.
Who Should Not Participate in Monero Affiliate Programs?
Earning Monero by posting links sounds appealing, but it still requires effort and an audience.
If you don’t have an established audience or lack skills in online marketing, SEO, or content creation, you may struggle to reach the payout threshold in a reasonable timeframe—even if the program itself is generous.
Additionally, if your promotion strategy relies on spam, misleading claims, or scams to trick people into spending their Monero, your affiliate account may be suspended and you may receive no payout. Ethical promotion is essential, especially when working with privacy-focused communities.
