WingerApp Influencer Program
Last updated: 2026-09-18 · Status: Draft — the program is not yet open to public applications; codes and links have not been distributed yet.
This page is written directly from the working code in
backend/app/api/influencer.pyandbackend/app/models/__init__.py(Influencer,DeviceAttribution,RevenueShare). Anything not yet decided is marked[KARAR](Turkish for "decision pending").
What the program is
The WingerApp Influencer Program is a referral program: you get a personal invite code/link, and you earn a share of the in-app subscription spend of the users you bring in. There's no signup fee — your earnings are a percentage of what your referrals actually spend, not a flat rate.
How it works
- Apply and get approved. The program currently runs with a limited number of influencers (100 slots total). Once approved, you're assigned a personal invite code (format
WIN-XXXXXXXX) and a referral link (wingerapp.com/join/YOURCODE). - Share your link. Anyone who taps your link is sent to the App Store/Google Play, and your code is copied to their device's clipboard automatically. The first time they open the app, the code is attributed to their device automatically, permanently, and one time only — they never have to type anything.
- Earn. When that person makes an in-app purchase (subscription, etc.), a percentage of what they spend is credited to you as a revenue share. You also earn an additional share from purchases made by users referred by influencers in your own sub-network (L2).
Revenue share rates
| Tier | Earns from | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| L1 (direct influencer) | Users you referred directly | 10% |
| L1 (direct influencer) | Users referred by L2 influencers in your own network (bonus) | 5% |
| L2 (sub-network influencer) | Users you referred directly | 5% |
Rates are calculated on the actual amount spent by your referral, at the moment of each purchase. The bond between a device and an influencer is lifetime and one-time: a single device can be attributed to only one influencer, ever.
Important limitation: Earnings are only recorded for purchases made after the program becomes "active" for you (see "Eligibility and rules" below). Purchases made before that activation threshold is crossed do not generate a retroactive revenue share — this isn't a UI limitation, it's how the underlying system works.
Transparency and privacy
- The bond between you and a referred user is established through their device's irreversibly SHA-256-hashed identifier, never their name, email, or phone number. As an influencer, you never get access to a referred user's profile, photos, messages, or contact details — the system never shows you any of that.
- Your own stats screen shows aggregate numbers only: total downloads, total/pending earnings (in cents), sub-network download and earnings counts. No individual user record is ever shown (beyond per-purchase amounts tied to a purchase ID, not a person).
- Access to your own data is protected by a secret access key issued to you once, at approval time — separate from your public invite code, and never to be shared with anyone.
Eligibility and rules
- The program is capped at 100 influencers total.
- For earnings to start accruing to your account, WingerApp needs to cross a platform-wide 10,000 install threshold (the WingerApp team can also unlock this manually in exceptional cases). Downloads you generate before that threshold count toward the total, but as noted above, no revenue share accrues until it's crossed.
- Applications are currently handled by email, one at a time, by the WingerApp team — there's no self-serve signup form yet.
- Code and link distribution is waiting on the "Influencer login" panel and remaining program operations to be completed; this page is, as of today, a pre-application call.
- Invoicing/tax obligations:
[KARAR]— to be clarified by legal/finance. - Payout method and frequency:
[KARAR]— there is currently no automated/periodic payout flow in the code; payouts are processed manually by the WingerApp team.
FAQ
How long after I apply will I hear back?
[KARAR] — no fixed target turnaround time has been set yet. We'll email you once we've received your application.
How do I track my earnings?
Once approved, influencers can query their own stats (downloads, earnings, sub-network) using their code and secret access key. A dedicated web dashboard (influencer.wingerapp.com) is currently in preparation and not live yet; your login details will be sent to you once it launches.
When and how do I get paid?
[KARAR] — payout schedule, method (e.g. bank transfer), and minimum payout amount haven't been decided yet. In the system, every earning is tracked as "pending" or "paid"; today that status change is handled manually.
Do I need to issue an invoice or handle taxes?
[KARAR] — this is a legal matter that can depend on your country and income level; it will be clarified before the program becomes fully operational, and this page will be updated accordingly.
Are earnings currently paid out with real money?
Not yet. The revenue-share calculation logic works correctly, but the purchase verification feeding it currently relies on a test-only verification path rather than real Apple/Google payment infrastructure. Real payouts will begin once that integration is completed and verified.
I think someone came from my link but attribution didn't work — what do I do?
Contact us with the device identifier and approximate date, and we'll look into it.
