If you refer a friend to Showit, it will give them their first month of Showit for free! As you refer your friends to Showit, you will earn subscription credits and the ability to earn affiliate credits as well.

Showit's Referral Program


Join our referral program to start earning free months of Showit by referring your friends. Each new Showit user you refer will get their first month free, and you’ll earn a free month when they become a qualified subscriber. If your subscription credit balance is 12 months or over, you’ll instead earn affiliate credit ($$) for your referral (as with anything, some terms apply).

Not Sure What to Share With Your Friends?


If you're still in awe of the amazing website you built and can't find the right words to explain Showit to your friends; here are a few reasons we love Showit...

  • Complete creative control over how your website looks

  • A true drag and drop interface... no code required (think Photoshop/Illustrator)

  • Beautiful professionally designed templates to start your design

  • Powerful integration with WordPress and a FREE blog migration*

  • An amazing team of Showit Support Pros available to help assist

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can join the Referral Program?

Any Showit users with an active paid subscription can join

When do I earn the free month?

You’ll earn a free month of Subscription Credit once a referral has passed 64 days of an active subscription.

How can I earn affiliate credit?

You will automatically earn Affiliate Credit if you currently have a balance of 12 or more months Subscription Credits. Renewal of your subscription may affect your subscription credit balance which may affect your ability to earn affiliate credits.

Does it matter what plan we’re on?

No, we apply referral credits to your account based upon your current monthly plan rate or a pro-rated month of an annual plan (up to a maximum of $39 per subscription credit). Those credits will automatically apply at your next renewal date.

How many free months can I earn?

Unlimited! We do not place a limit on the number of credits that can be earned. However, if you have 12 active subscription credits in your account, you'll instead receive affiliate credit. If you have less than 12 subscription credits in your account, you will continue to earn subscription credits. *Subscription Credits are non-transferrable and non-redeemable for anything other than subscription fees.

How does a Subscription Credit differ from an Affiliate Credit?

Subscription Credit is automatically applied to your subscription fees (taxes may be excluded).

Affiliate Credit is applied to your account and can be redeemed for cash.

In all cases the recipient of your referral will receive their first month free.

Where can we track our referrals?

You can log in to view the status of a referral under the Referrals section at account.showit.com

Can a referral apply my referral link even if they already have an account?

Yes, your referral can follow your referral link and when prompted to create an account, they can instead choose the option to login with a current account and the offer will be applied to their account. Only the most recent referral reference will get applied when the user subscribes.

How do the Free Trial and Free Month differ for a referral?

During the 14 day free trial, a credit card is not required and you can only preview a website. During the referral free month, a credit card is required and you can publish and connect your custom domain name.
