Shifter Affiliate Program Guide

Earn your fair share by helping Canadians buy, trade, or refinance their vehicle

Shifter is a pay-per-sale automotive affiliate platform that lets creators, publishers, and businesses earn real money by sending real car buyers into Shifter’s national sales and finance network.

Instead of getting paid pennies for leads or clicks, Shifter pays affiliates when deals close.

No selling. No inventory. No dealerships. Just revenue share.

How Much Can You Earn?

Shifter pays affiliates based on what the customer does:

Why Shifter Pays So Well

Most automotive affiliate programs pay for leads:

Shifter pays for results.

Shifter operates on a pay-per-sale model. Dealers and lenders pay Shifter when a deal is completed, and Shifter shares that revenue with the affiliate that referred the customer.

This creates a fair system:

• Affiliates get paid what the deal is actually worth
• Shifter only pays when money is made
• Dealers get serious, pre-qualified customers
• 
  

No one loses.

Three Customer Types You Can Monetize

Shifter monetizes three of the most valuable automotive actions in Canada:

1. Vehicle Buyers

People looking to purchase a car, truck, SUV, or powersport vehicle.

They apply online, get pre-approved, and Shifter’s finance managers match them with real inventory they qualify for.

You earn $400 per funded sale.

2. Trade-In Customers

Many buyers have a vehicle to trade.

Shifter handles the valuation, logistics, and paperwork. When a trade is completed, you earn $350.

This stacks on top of the purchase payout.

3. Refinance Customers

Drivers who already own a vehicle but want lower payments, better interest rates, or cash-out refinancing.

You earn $100 every time a refinance closes.

Refinance traffic converts extremely well — especially during high-interest environments.

What You Actually Promote

Affiliates don’t have to sell cars.

You send people to a Shifter landing page that includes:

• A branded application form
• Credit-based pre-approval
• Nationwide inventory access
• A personal finance manager

Shifter does the rest.

Your audience gets:

• Real approvals
• Real options
• Real vehicles

You get paid when deals fund.

Custom Landing Pages & Content

Every affiliate receives:

• A custom Shifter page
• A dedicated application form
• Conversion-optimized layout
• Tracking on every customer

These pages are designed to force traffic into the application instead of letting users bounce.

No menus. No distractions. Just results.

Why This Works for Influencers, Brands & Publishers

Shifter converts traffic from:

• Auto & finance creators
• First Nations communities
• Credit rebuild audiences
