If you refer a Leave a Legacy client to us, we’ll pay you 12% of the fees we receive. That’s $100 to $839 for each successful referral ($100 is our minimum referral payout, which is 14% of the price of our cheapest package). There’s no limit on the number of successful referrals you can make.

How do you get credit for a referral? They enter your name during checkout or you refer them to us via email.
After introducing your contact to what we do and explaining why it’s a great fit for their needs, please simply direct your contact to the Leave a Legacy order page (they might need your help filling this out) and have them list you as the referrer. Upon payment from them, we’ll reach out to you to get your payment info (e.g., PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, check) so we can pay you.
Notes:
- If they just list your name (i.e., no specific contact info from you), that’s fine; we'll ask them for your contact info.
- If they forget to list any referral source, don’t worry; we’ll ask them in the onboarding process if they were referred by someone and we’ll note that in their account. That’ll still count as a referral for you if they tell us your name when we ask.
- It's quite common for grandparents not to want to pay online. Paying by check is often the preferred option. That's completely fine, and you will still receive a referral fee. In that case...
Alternatively, you can refer via email.
After introducing your contact to our Leave a Legacy packages and explaining why they’re a great fit for their needs, please email them and us (Legacy@Grandkids.com) with a warm intro. Here’s a rough template:

Terms and Conditions
1. The referral fee is payable upon completion of the project, defined as delivery of the completed product to the client.
1.1. If we refund the client, the Ambassador will in turn be liable for a prorated refund of the referral fee.
2. The referral must be for a new lead (not someone already in our system).
3. Rates (package prices and commission payable to Ambassadors) are subject to change at any time but cannot be changed retroactively.
4. This Ambassador Agreement does not supersede any other current sales agreement with Grandkids.com.
5. Commissions are paid only on Leave a Legacy packages and not on other products or services your referrals purchase from Grandkids.com.
6. We pay only for first-line referrals. In other words, we pay for the specific referral or referrals you make and not for sales that arise from subsequent referrals not made directly by you. For example, if you refer Person A to us and they buy a package, you will receive a payment. However, if Person A subsequently refers Person B to us, you will not be entitled to a payment.
7. We pay commission as specified in the table above based on net revenue after payment processing fees (generally about 3.5%). If the client pays via check, the Ambassador gets the full percentage of the referral fee. If the client pays by credit card, the Ambassador gets the listed percentage of the package price minus the card processing charges. For example, if the package costs US$2,995 and the Ambassador is due a 12% referral fee, the Ambassador gets 2,995*0.12 if the client pays via wire. If the client pays by credit card, the ghostwriting ambassador gets 2,995*(1-0.035)*0.12.
