3DIMLI Affiliate Program
Earn commission by referring creators and sellers to 3DIMLI through your unique affiliate link.
The 3DIMLI Affiliate Program lets approved partners, creators, educators, agencies, and community owners earn commission by referring new sellers to 3DIMLI. When someone signs up through your referral link and purchases an eligible seller plan, you may earn affiliate commission based on that seller's eligible plan activity.
The program is useful for anyone who wants to recommend 3DIMLI to digital creators, 3D artists, designers, developers, AI creators, educators, or businesses that want to sell digital products through their own branded store.
The 3DIMLI Affiliate Program is run through Lemon Squeezy. You apply, manage your referral link, and receive payouts through your Lemon Squeezy affiliate account, which you then link to 3DIMLI.
Who Can Join?
The program is designed for people and businesses who can introduce 3DIMLI to relevant audiences. This may include:
| Audience | Examples |
|---|---|
| Creators | Content creators, YouTubers, bloggers, influencers |
| Designers & artists | 3D artists, designers, design educators |
| Educators | Course creators, design educators, newsletter owners |
| Businesses | Agencies, digital product sellers, community owners |
| Existing users | Current 3DIMLI sellers and buyers |
You do not need to be a seller to promote 3DIMLI, but your application should clearly explain how you plan to share the platform with relevant users.
What Affiliates Can Promote
Affiliates promote 3DIMLI as a digital store builder for creators and sellers. Instead of sending creators to a generic marketplace, 3DIMLI helps them build their own store, control pricing, manage licenses, and sell directly to buyers.
3DIMLI sellers can offer digital products such as:
- 3D models
- Graphics
- Audio files
- Videos
- Ebooks
- Software
- AI models
- Games
- Link products
- Other digital downloads
Step 1: Apply for the Program
- Open the affiliate application link from your 3DIMLI affiliate area.
- Create or sign in to your Lemon Squeezy affiliate account.
Use the same email address as your 3DIMLI account when applying. This helps 3DIMLI match your affiliate approval correctly.
Step 2: Complete Your Affiliate Profile
Your affiliate profile helps 3DIMLI understand who you are and how you plan to promote the platform. Try to include:
- A short bio
- Your website or portfolio
- Social media links
- Audience size and type
- Your promotion plan
- Relevant experience
- Payout information
A complete profile improves the chance of a smooth review and approval.
Step 3: Link Your Approved Account
If your Lemon Squeezy affiliate account is already approved, you may need to link it with 3DIMLI.
- Go to the 3DIMLI affiliate area.
- Enter the email address used for your Lemon Squeezy affiliate account.
- Refresh the status to confirm the link.
Once linked successfully, your referral link and affiliate tracking information appear in your 3DIMLI account.
Step 4: Get and Share Your Referral Link
Each approved affiliate receives a unique referral link. It may look similar to this:
https://www.3dimli.com/?aff=YOUR_CODE
When someone visits 3DIMLI through your referral link and signs up, they can be connected to your affiliate account. If that referred user later purchases an eligible seller plan, the activity may count toward your earnings.
You can share your referral link anywhere it is useful and relevant. Good places include:
- Blog posts
- YouTube descriptions
- Tutorials
- Social media posts
- Newsletters
- Creator and 3D design communities
- Digital product seller groups
- Client recommendations
- Online courses or resources
The best results usually come from explaining how 3DIMLI helps creators build their own store and sell digital products professionally, rather than only posting a link.
Step 5: Set Up Payouts
Affiliate payouts are handled through the affiliate account system. To receive commission payouts, make sure your payout details are complete. Depending on availability, you may need to add:
- Bank details
- PayPal payout details
- Tax information
- Identity or verification details
If payout setup is incomplete, your earnings may remain unpaid until the required information is added.
How Referrals and Earnings Work
A referred signup does not always mean affiliate earnings are generated immediately. For earnings to apply, the referred user usually needs to buy or stay active on an eligible 3DIMLI seller plan.
| Event | Counts as a referral? | Generates earnings? |
|---|---|---|
| User clicks your link | Tracked visit | No |
| User signs up through your link | Yes, referred signup | Not yet |
| Referred user buys an eligible seller plan | Yes | Yes, commission tracked |
| Referred user stays active on a plan | Yes | Eligible, per program rules |
Affiliate earnings are not based only on account signup. A referred user usually needs to complete eligible seller plan activity before commission is earned. A user may appear as a referral with earnings at zero until that happens.
Commission Structure
3DIMLI affiliates can earn commission when referred sellers purchase eligible seller plans. The amount shown in your affiliate area is an estimate or tracked amount based on eligible seller activity. Actual earnings may depend on:
| Factor | How it affects earnings |
|---|---|
| Seller plan purchased | Different eligible plans may carry different commission |
| Seller activity | Whether the referred seller remains active |
| Payment status | Earnings require successful payment completion |
| Refunds & cancellations | These may reduce or remove tracked commission |
| Account linking | Affiliate must be approved and correctly linked |
| Program rules | The rules in effect at the time of payout apply |
Example Earning Flow
Here is a simple example:
- You share your 3DIMLI referral link with a creator.
- The creator clicks your link and signs up.
- The creator chooses an eligible 3DIMLI seller plan.
- Their eligible plan activity is tracked under your affiliate account.
- Your commission appears in your affiliate earnings once the activity is confirmed.
Best Practices for Affiliates
To promote 3DIMLI effectively:
- Share the platform with creators who actually need a digital store.
- Explain the benefits clearly instead of only posting a link.
- Use your own experience, examples, or tutorials.
- Mention that sellers can create a branded storefront.
- Explain that 3DIMLI supports different digital product types.
- Avoid spammy or misleading promotion.
- Keep your audience informed about how 3DIMLI helps them sell better.
Recommended promotion angles include topics such as how to sell digital products online, how to build a branded storefront, how 3D artists can sell 3D models, how creators can sell ebooks, templates, audio, or software, and why creators should not depend only on generic marketplaces.
