What the headline terms mean in practice
The published numbers are only useful when you understand the conversion event, attribution, application friction and promotion constraints behind them.
The referral generally needs to become an eligible purchase. Compare the payout with product price, conversion difficulty, exclusions and reversal rules rather than reading the commission in isolation.
30 days is a relatively compact attribution window, so the strongest fit is usually content that reaches readers closer to a decision.
Selective — Descript reviews brand/demographic fit; its marketing page says approval typically takes about a week.. Treat eligibility as a separate question from whether the commercial terms look attractive.
Approved personal websites and social-media channels listed in the PartnerStack profile can use the unique URL when aligned with Descript’s brand and content rules. Do not buy Descript brand/product keywords, promote Descript on Google, or direct-link from online ads. Paid promotion must land on an actual page on the affiliate’s website or social channel.

| Geography | Applicants must be at least 18 and cannot be residents of countries currently sanctioned by OFAC under the published terms. |
| Recurring duration | Current new referrals earn a one-time $25 commission on the initial qualifying subscription term; no renewal commission for new referrals. Legacy recurring referrals can continue only under their prior limited terms. |
